About
This excursion is a Cod, Rockfish and/or Salmon fishing trip depending on current fishing conditions (season and weather). Your guide will discuss which species have been producing most in recent weeks and where your group will head before departing. As a group, you will decide which species to fish for first and you may spend more time fishing for one species over another. This excursion is also operated in a 24ft cabin cruiser accommodating a maximum of 6 passengers and an average of 4-5.
During the peak of the summer season from June 15th to August 15th at the height of the salmon run you will have the best chance at catching multiple species.
