Make an adventure out of your next trip to Whitehall and go fishing with Dirk Burkett Sportfishing. Your guide for the day is Captain Dirk, allowing you to benefit from years of fishing experience.

These waters are known for Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout (Steelhead), Brown Trout, and more – with any luck, you’ll have tight lines in no time. On these trips, it’s common to troll.

Dirk Burkett Sportfishing welcomes kids aboard, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Children must wear life vests, so find out if the appropriate size is available on board. Feel free to bring your own snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

You’ll be dropping lines from a 37’ Sea Ray 370EC sportfishing vessel that can carry up to 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers and all the essentials. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures.

A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off-limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect. Some essentials to bring are a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Your trip with Dirk Burkett Sportfishing is just a click away, so why not make it happen?
