Your day begins aboard a 26' Hewescraft pilothouse with room for 6 passengers. It has downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. Your captain will provide rods and reels, as well as lures.
You will need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
Some essentials to bring are sunblock (non-spray), a hat, bottled water, and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

4 Hour Trip – Crabbing aftenoon
Great experience!
Our family of dive travelled with captain Josh to catch Salmon. Best fishing times are afternoon and morning, but we only had some time for mid day. He went beyond the traditional expectation guiding fishing and crabbing by the end of the day and allowed our family to have some great memories to take home with us.

4 Hour Trip – Crabbing
Awesome Experience
We had a great experience and really enjoyed our trip with Josh. The boat was well maintained and comfortable. Josh went out of his way to help us and we had a lot of fun. We caught a ton of crab up to our limit. He helped us clean, cook, and pack them up to go. Thanks Jos! We will be back again.

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.
