Please Note
All trips are weather dependent and we will provide as much notice as possible if trip is to be cancelled due to hazardous conditions. We call it a FLEX trip because if offshore conditions are not conducive to going shark fishing you agree to keep your reservation and go fishing that day. These fish are highly migratory and hard to predict arrival time however it is usually mid July thru September . If we cant shark or tuna fish we will council you on the next available option like salmon or halibut fishing. The price will be adjusted accordingly.
