    We had a great trip

    6 Hour Trip – Dory Fishing • 2 adults

    We had a good experience even though it was a little rougher than expected. Very impressed with our captain and he worked hard which resulted in all six of us on the trip getting our limits on rock fish, salmon and crabs. The captain is highly knowledgeable regarding the area we were fishing in

    Reported catch:
    Black Seabass
    Coho Salmon
    Crab
