About
Discover a new style of fishing with Sound to Summit. You'll be using a more diverse toolbox to catch more fish and have more fun. The areas we fish are more remote and less pressured, and offer quality lingcod, silver salmon, rockfish, and more. Our trips are longer than most others at 12 hours, allowing us to access these areas and still have enough time to fish. Fishing with us also means you have a private experience – your group, your boat. No sharing rods or waiting for the rest of the boat to finish what they’re doing before you can start fishing again.
If you’ve had your fill of halibut, or we’re limited out, we’ll turn our attention to Rockfish, Lingcod, Salmon, or Cod – we love fishing as much as you do, so we’re not going to run for the dock once we’re finished with halibut. Our day trips run 7am to 7pm, so plan on coming into Whittier through the 6:30am tunnel. Bring some soda, beer, snacks, and lunch. Give us a call or check the weather before your trip to make sure you bring the right layers to keep comfortable.
