Weather is always a crap shoot. One day is sunny, the next is windy and a winter snow alert.

Halibut can be spotty if you book a trip late in October(if you only do a half day, full day trips will be better for halibut) but captain Sean will make sure you have a great time and catch fish either way

This was the first time that I ever fished on Lake Tahoe. I am from Iowa, so I don’t do much fishing at all. I really had an unbelievably great time and enjoyed catching my limit in 3 hours. What a beautiful lake. I give this a 10!!!!

It was a little hot by the late afternoon. The weather was supposed to reach over 100 but it didn’t feel as hot on the water as it did when we reached the shore/land. It felt about 10 degrees or more cooler. Love that delta breeze!!

Don’t be the dummy who thinks shorts and a tank top is a good idea. Check the weather and dress appropriately. Bring a styrofoam cooler with dry ice at the bottom and ice on top of the dry ice to leave in the car. Gallon size ziplock bags, paper towels, hand soap with pumice (ie: Fast Orange), and a change of clothes for afterwards are a good idea, too.

Check the season carefully before you book so you know what's hitting. If you are too early or too late for Kokanee salmon, for example, you may be disappointed in your catch. Also, I highly suggest you book your charter direct rather than through FishingBooker. They add little value, their incessant text messages are excessive, and they won't prep you for the day the way the skipper will.

Charter Addictive fishing if you want the very best fishing overall fishing experience. It ain’t cheap but my experience far exceeded my expectations. Bring warm layers - this is a quick boat, and a beanie!

Definitely book a guide if you are wanting to fish Crescent City. We fished from the jetty, the surf and booked a guide. We caught a couple fish from the shore but limited it out with 60 fish when we went out with our guide. With the price of fish these days, you almost pay for your trip in the amount of fish you bring home.

Yes, the spot Captain Brad took us to was about a 15 minute boat ride from Carnelian Bay. We fished in 150 feet depth and caught many Macinaw Trout. We kept three and released the others.
