Salmon off the bucket list
Full Day Trip on August 7, 2024
The Captain was on time and ready to go. Navigated across the bar safely to get out to the ocean. Got us on the fish and made sure we got tasty Coho in the box. After that, the wind started to kick up, and the Captain smartly took us back to the mouth of the river. By the time we got back inside the jetties the wind had kicked up as was getting pretfy rough. Herman's experience lead to the right and safe call. Once back inside the jetties we went trophy hunting for Chinook and were able to land one nice one after a fun 15min fight. Thanks Capt Herman!

Fun Catch!
Full Day Trip on August 1, 2024
Went with husband and son who had both fished the seas before. I had not, and Herman was very patient with me especially when helping to pull in my first salmon catch ever! Everyone caught a good sized salmon! Herman was also patient in trying a variety of locations which helped ensure we each ended up with a fish! Herman cut up and filleted each fish when we arrived back to the dock.

Full boat limit caught

The captain was great. He knew exactly where to go and what gear to use. In about two hours of fishing all four of us on the boat caught our daily limit. I will fish with Northwest again and highly recommend them.

One of the few places you can still catch salmon
Full Day Trip on September 2, 2024
Billions of dollars have been spent to recover the dwindling salmon runs on the west coast but they just keep getting worse. It is time for someone to get serious about their job.
