August sounds like an abundant month to fish except our day. No blame just the nature of fishing.

When going out on a boat - arrive 10 minutes early. It is best to wear waterproof clothing even on dry days. Use the restroom before heading out. It is best to thoroughly wash your hands after applying sunscreen, and eating jerky or smoked salmon. The scent is bad.

The fog bank in the PNW can come and go pretty quick, and it can go from a cold foggy day to a warm sunny one . so prepare for sun or drizzle and bring sunscreen and layers.

Make sure you have layers and be prepared to be on the ocean. We had a calm day but could see getting sea sick easily if it is rough. Awesome time though.

Take medication an hour in advance if you get seasick. Bring rain gear and boots because it is cooler on the water and that boat will be rockin' in the waves! Have so much fun, it's a blast!

Great area to fish in the ocean. Bring Rain gear just in case weather changes. Better to be safe than sorry. Your fishing trip might not be as memorable if you are wet and cold.Had a great time for our first.

Springers are not easy to catch so I would recommend if you want a better chance to catch fish, try the fall

Fishing in early summer is a roll of the dice with weather. Excellent Sturgeon fishing in the main river, but conditions in the afternoon can be a little choppy to do salmon or rockfish. Come prepared with waterproof clothing and sunscreen as necessary.

Bananas on a boat is considered bad luck. Wear layers because it's cold in the morning but warms up by the afternoon.
