While fishing anglers will appreciate the covered deck, Ample rod holders and fish box to carry the catch. All bait and tackle is provided (Okuma rods or shake spear rods. Penn and Fin- Or reels.)

Pink and Coho Salmon can be found in the bay as well as further offshore – get ready to battle these famous fish.

Made the most of a rainy day!
Half day Halibut on August 22, 20263 adults

Captain Keith was courteous and helpful for our half day halibut fishing excursion. Despite consistent rain and wind, we still managed to have a great time and caught a mix of Halibut, pacific and black cod, and had a great time! The Overtime III was a very comforable boat with a covered fishing platform and warm cabin with a full bathroom which was a bonus for a charter fishing boat!

Absolutely Wonderful Fishing Trip
Full Day Trip – Group Rate Combo on June 25, 20264 adults

Absolute gem of a captain, capable boat, fishing knowledge, awesome weather and calm seas. Plus... 10, maybe 11 Humpback whales cruised past our boat which excited our fishing trip guests from outside. A wonderful fishing trip with Captain Keith at the helm and with his skill and knowledge, we were able to catch our limit of halibut. Thank you and it was a pleasure to have you as our captain. We all enjoyed our time together and will definitely be fishing with you again soon. Highly recommended.

Halibut

Very Successful Fishing Charter
Half day Group Rate-Halibut on June 12, 20262 adults2 children

Captain Keith was awesome! Very professional. He’s a retired airplane pilot and it shows. He was very prepared and organized. My wife and two boys (12 and 9) did the half-day Halibut trip. We traveled out about an hour and caught 3 halibut and 4 Pacific cods in under 2 hours. We fished with only two rods. That was all we needed. We kept it all and had it shipped home. 35 lbs of filets. He took care of the having it fileted. We shipped it home at Captain Jacks for about $400. We highly recommend Captain Keith!
