About
This is a custom charter focusing on a sightseeing with just a little fun fishing included.
- We will sightsee for about three hours and fish for black bass for about an hour. The sightseeing tour takes you through the El Dorado Narrows, where you will see towering cliffs, sea caves, sea lion haul-outs, bird rookeries, puffins, eagles, black oyster catchers, sea otters, kittiwakes, Murres, Dall porpoise, sometimes mountain goats and black bear, and an occasional whale! Be sure to bring your binoculars & a camera!
- Fishing: Black bass are both easy and fun to catch. This charter is especially good for families with children because the fish bite regularly, and you can almost count on getting your limit of fish.
