Half Day Trip on August 10, 20243 adults

We met Captain Kurt at the small craft Harbour and the experience was full of excitement and surprises. Since it's the first time fishing in open water. The first catch slipped away but the Captain encouraged us to keep going. At the end of the trip, we have successfully pulled chin hooks and cohos out of water. Along the way, Kurt has been very educational and patient in helping us getting familiar with blue waters. Will come back again once we have the opportunity!

We had a great day with Captain Easy. We caught one coho and released it according to fishing regulations. Then we caught one chinook which we kept. A nice productive day.
