8 Hour Trip – Lingcod/Rockfish
Great Fishing Experience
We fished for Rock Fish and Lingcod. We caught our limit of Rock Fish in a few hours. We had a great time. After we caught our limit on fish he took us to a crab trap and gave us a bucket of crab. Josh was a great guide and very friendly and knowledgeable.

4 Hour Trip – Crabbing aftenoon
Fun Family Experience
This was our first experience cruising on an ocean boat. Captain Josh was very knowledgeable, friendly and ensured we had a good time. We are looking forward to booking a longer fishing trip with him in the future.

Great crew! Awesome fish!
Josh and Lane worked very hard to provide us with an amazing trip. They were very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. We did get sea sick, so plan accordingly. I would highly recommend this charter trip.

Cpt. Josh was awesome!
Took the 8 hour trip, dropped some pots, fished some, but water was really choppy and quite a few of us weren’t feeling well. He still made sure we all had a great time. Would highly recommend
