Dress in layers. We followed this advice from Capt Greg and we were so grateful. The weather in the Pacific NW can change quickly. We lucked out with the weather. It wasn’t sunny, but it wasn’t raining either.

I would not recommend this captain for ADA access or for tourist. Not super friendly or helpful to newer anglers to the ocean.
I would recommend researching the captains and vessels to make sure they have what you want.

We were told the day we went fishing that they had been having ify weather but the day we went out was great. No wind, fairly warm, no rain. Easy access to the marina. Fish cleaning stations are great.

I can only give it 2 stars only because of the weather at the time I was there, but I’m quite sure when the weather is good it’s a great time there! No one can predict the weather and there no one here to blame just unfortunate timing.

We had so much fun. We learned alot about fishing. Fisher David was so much fun and highly professional and I was not afraid at all.
Would recommend a fishing trip to anyone. We booked it again next month.

Just make sure you know what you are booking if you are from the East Coast. The charters in the East head out a lot further than the West coast ones do, apparently. Besides that, have fun. It will be a great experience.

We came from out of state. We were hoping for a great experience and we got it! Captain Lyle made that happen.Highly recommend. We will definitely repeat!

Richard Bailey
Fishing for Coho was great. We all hit our limit plus several more wild salmon that we were not allowed to keep.

If you tend to get motion sickness, this might help. 1 chewable Bonine at bed the evening before, 1 upon waking, 1 before boarding the boat.

Even though it was a nice & sunny day, rough ocean made it difficult to fish. We did catch a few fish. Our guide gave it a valiant effort!

Robert Ramos
Be aware and listen to the captain of day trip needs to change due to weather. He is willing to work with you.

Book your trip with Prospector Fishing Adventures Captain Lyle. He knows his stuff and goes beyond any expectations.

I would recommend bringing motion sickness pills, water, warm clothes (not heavy just layers), a camera for pictures.

Fishing was good but again nature is in control and anyone that goes needs to be able to handle disappointment as well as over excitement about catching what they go for.

Paul Chaussart
Book a spot on a smaller boat for bottom fishing, it will be a better experience.

Clifton Jones
Book a trip out with Captain Niles, All Depth Charters!! A leader in the industry if you ask me!

Denise Crowder
Bring gloves if you plan on pulling up a crab pot. It will save your hands from rope burn!

Be prepared for all weather. Dress in layers. And don’t forget your cameras!

Sometimes you win and times you don’t, expect to have fun and probably see a Whale or two.

Fishing trip was great. Catching was bad. Go fishing here in a smaller boat, 3 or 4 people.
