Fishing has been absolutely off the charts so far this year! Early season runs have been strong with feisty salmon and some absolutely beautiful halibut. Our guides have been having an amazing time with some fantastic guests and a bunch of first timers!

Half Day Trip (PM)

I booked a 4-hour trip to start at 1pm. The day prior, Rising Tide contacted me to advise that the waters were expected to be rough during our scheduled charter, so they offered to change our trip to the morning when there would be calmer waters. We switched it to the morning. It was a perfect fishing adventure. Don was the most amazing captain. He was always working to make sure we had the best chance of catching fish and to make sure we were comfortable and having a great time, He accomplished... More

Booked a charter with Rising Tide with my brother as a Father’s Day/retirement gift for my dad. The owner/operator, Chris, was super responsive, patient, informative, and kind. He helped me rebook my trip without any problems. The captain, Don, was incredibly charismatic and knowledgeable. We originally had an even trip booked, however Don informed us that the weather would be too bad, and was instead able to fit us in for the same morning instead! This worked out great for us. We even got to... More

Eric thanks so much for your kind words. We were super happy we could accommodate the trip with all the crazy weather we have been having. Being out on the ocean is always magical and ever changing. Getting to spend that time together for your dad is awesome and we hope to see you all again next year!

Ive had a few charters, in BC, in Mexico. This is the first one where it was a perfect experience. The captain was bright, knowledgeable, pleasant company and hard working. When I wanted to change things it was always no problem. When things were not biting he was working the lines overtime. We brought up a large lingcod, a keeper chinook, some amazing prawns, a large rockfish, and dungeoness crab. My every request and need was met or exceeded and I just had a great day. Other charters could learn... More

My wife and I had a fantastic day fishing with Don. He put us on the fish early and made our trip special. My wife caught a gigantic chinook salmon! we left with 3 chinooks, 2 coho and almost a dozen beautiful crabs. Caught even more than we kept. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an exceptional day on the water!
