​Season: Summer July 1st - October 30th (WDFW Dependent)

​

After that elusive 30lb King? We offer Salmon charters from July to October. This longer trip allows enough time to hunt these magnificent fish. During the summer we can get silver, king, and pink salmon. Sometimes we head out almost 40 miles to get you to the best spots. Salmon fishing is more hit and miss than bottom fishing. The pay off can be big, but patience is necessary. For that reason, it is not recommended for young children or for first time fishermen.

During July and August advanced reservations are highly recommended.​​​​​​​

​Season: Year-Round



One of our most popular family activities, bottom fishing trips are great for fishermen of any skill level. We frequently take out both first time fishermen (as young as 4 or 5), and skilled veterans. We highly recommend bottom fishing for a group considering their first fishing experience in the San Juans. Usually everyone catches fish and the techniques are easy to learn.

We can also drop some pots and catch crabs or prawns when they are in season, as an added activity on these charters !

​

​Season:  May 1st - June 15th



The king of bottom fish, the Ling Cod, is known for its firm white meat and unmatched aggressive nature. Thriving in complex underwater structures like reefs, rock piles, and ledges, they can be difficult but thrilling to catch! Our knowledgeable captains will do their best to put you on the fish and help you lay hands on that record setting ling.

Dungeness Crab are one of the signature shellfish in the Pacific Northwest. A fresh Dungeness Crab, caught in the Salish Sea and cooked the same day, is a real highlight of the summer.  When in season, crabbing can be added to most recreational charters, just by adding another hour to your trip.

There is always the possibility that the seasons will change as we get deeper into summer, so please check with your charter coordinator to confirm availability.

Season:  Various Dates April - June



Pacific Halibut bring a lot of excitement to our coastal ports, resorts and lodges. The calm seas of spring and summer let us explore the edges of the continental shelf, including the remote reefs and banks where Halibut live.

​

Large Pacific Halibut, also called Barndoor Halibut, can tip the scales at 200 to 400 pounds! There are also many small fish, or Chicken Halibut, at 15 to 25 pounds. Although the fishery here is not as abundant as in Alaska, the quest for Halibut is a great experience for novice to experienced fishermen of all ages.

​Season:  Various Dates April - June

​

Spot Shrimp thrive in deep water areas along the North Pacific Coast, and can add a delicious element to your summer meals. Prawning can be added to most recreational charters by adding another hour to your trip. 

There is always the possibility that the seasons will change as we get deeper into summer, so please check with your charter coordinator to confirm availability.
