Went fishing with Dee Cee on February 14, 2019
Book with Dee Dee. Capt. Chuck Shimmelman is very accommodating and found fish when they were hard to find. Justin is the best 1st mate I've fished with.

While I said not appropriate for children, that really reflects the conditions we had today.

Don’t forget your sunscreen and STAY HYDRATED! It’s hot out there and it creeps up on you!

Front came through few days earlier, dropped water temp, which could have impacted bite

Dress in layers. The ride out and in can be cool but you usually warm up when you’re fishing

Definitely worth it, and the water extremely calm for anyone who is not a fan on being on a boat.

Don't go in July!! Go during the best times in Mar/April if you want more than 1 hook up.

Stay in the north side and backcountry, as the wind is rough on the open ocean side.

Research the type of fishing you are interested in then look for a Captain to match your interests.

Find a captain that cares. Be careful of booking thru resorts. We’ve had bad experiences.
