Go early morning for your best chance of catching a fish and expect to work to get them on the boat. The fish are deep and it's not easy to get them to the surface.

Definitely take Dramamine (per dosage directions) the night before and another one an hour before you get on the boat. Even if you think there is no way I’m going to get motion sickness.

Solid fishing overall. Even though halibut fishing is really strong right now, they can be caught. Other hard-fighting and delicious fish are abundant.

We went out on the trip hoping for yellowtail, but knew that it was still early in the season and they might not be around yet. We wound up bottom fishing the day of, caught some beautiful Rockfish, good sized, and came home with plenty to split between two households, and at least enough for 3 or 4 dinners for our family of 5 and a dinner friend or two.
