Spend an adventure with Capt. Bob, a knowledgeable and experienced guide, on board 'Pearl' offering plenty of room for 12 anglers to mix it up.  We go for multiple species and 10 to 12 hours has been our average fast-paced trip!

Your fishing machine for the day is a 48' Landing craft newly equipped with brand new Yamaha 350 motors - after two season trying to run with failing diesel outboards, which were a disaster for Red Door and many customers. Never again!!!

Pearl has inside seating for 12 people and can accommodate up to 16 on private bookings. She's equipped with downriggers and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet and shower on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures and bait.

Capt. Bob, the owner, and operator, has replaced his previous Debra Kay boat with Pearl - a beautiful 48' Landing Craft, so see last year's reviews here on FishingBooker for Debra Kay.

Local waters are known for Halibut, Black Rockfish, Yelloweye Rockfish, Coho Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, Ling Cod, Pacific Cod, and more. You're likely to troll, jig, and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. For the more adventurous among you, there's ultra-light 'Slow Jigging' equipment on board.

HALIBUT FISHING CLOSURES for 2026: All Wednesdays and Tuesdays closed!
However, Halibut limits will not change!... One halibut 26' or less and one halibut any size per fisher per day.
** Halibut commission has imposed a $25 halibut stamp fee per fisher per day. We have them on board and stamps must be paid and assigned at the dock…
