About
Your captain will find halibut and salmon around the tides in many 'secret spots' and will be busy working hard to be productive in order to find both species for you to take home! These charters are available only on 6- pack boats for the full day. These trips should be arranged in advance so the captain can make sure to have the proper bait, and equipment on board, but most importantly so he knows how to pick his fishing grounds. Choose one of our popular halibut/salmon combinations charters and have some fun with two different fishing experiences! Bob’s Trophy Charters’ Halibut /Salmon Combination Charters combines deep sea bottom fishing for halibut using heavy tackle, while salmon is usually caught by trolling geared up with down-riggers complete with light tackle rods and reels.
