Incredible Trip with Captain Laurel: Orcas all around us
Fishing/ Wildlife/ Whale watching on June 1, 20222 adults

Today we had the honor of spending a 5 hour trip on the Inside Passage with Captain Laurel. It was unbelievable, besides humpback whales we could also see bald eagles and sea lions. Everything was perfectly organized and the day flew by. We were able to catch several cods and the salmon bit too. But just before noon all our expectations were exceeded, orcas appeared and stayed around our boat for almost an hour, an incredible experience. We can only thank you again for the great trip and highly recommend Absolute Fishing!

My wife, son , daughter and I had an awesome day on the water. Captain Laurel was fun and interesting to interact with. He worked hard and was very patient with us the whole time. He found the fish for us; our arms were tired by the time we headed back. Great experience!

Reported catch:
Chinook Salmon
Response from Captain

Thank you for joining me for your fishing adventure! Hopefully we can get together again next time you are on the Island.
