You need to book a trip with smaller tide movement. We booked on a 7ft tidal change that reduced the chances of catching fish but Captain Ken has been on the water for over 40 years and put us on the halibut.

They did say that you might catch more fish when the bay is a bit warmer but we were still very happy with everything we caught and would still come in June! Make sure to bundle up the mornings are chilly on the water but we were prepared and it didn’t bother our kids!

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.

Just a reminder that although clearlake is a phenomenal lake to fish where you. An catch size and numbers, you can run into tough days. Be patient and ready to grind it out if it is.

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
