About

One of our most popular excursions!

Our goal is to provide you with the best halibut fishing experience you could possibly have! The trip out to the fishing grounds can be quite spectacular as we travel fairly close to the shoreline. It’s not uncommon to spot bears along the shoreline and we often see otters, whales, seals, puffins, eagles, and countless varieties of other birds.

Our crew and deckhand will be helping out the entire time. We’ll bait hooks, teach you how to get the rigs on the bottom, how to identify strikes, when to check bait, and other fishing techniques.

Somedays if we get into the perfect spot we may fish only that one spot. Other days we may need to try several. Catching limits of halibut is typically the norm.
