Small mouth bass fishing

7 Hour Trip – Smallmouth Bass3 adults

If you are not a person who fishes often this trip to fish small mouth bass was enjoyable, we caught quite a few fish. We did keep a few to cook however make sure your captain is aware you plan on keeping some. We told our captain we may want to keep some but he didn’t plan ahead & bring a better knife to filet the fish for us. He even mentioned it several times that he should have brought better supplies to take care of the fish. With that being said he could have done better at that for us. I also must advise that with 3 of us plus the captain it was a bit of a tight fit to comfortably fish without crossing lines. Overall not a bad experience just room for improvement on the captain making those who booked the trip feel they weren’t an after thought.

    Unforgettable trip

    Long Leader Fishing - Crabbing PM • 4 adults

    We did the long leader/crabbing trip, but the day before our charter they issued a small craft advisory. Thanx to our wonderful captain Travis he got us moved around, but alas the fish were not cooperating. We did catch one but had to throw it back as it was native. Going out to retrieve the crab pots was something none of us will forget! The ocean was not very cooperative, but thanks to captain Travis and captain Shawn we all got our limit.

    Capt'n Mike and Crewman Smudge were great.

    Long Leader Fishing - Crabbing AM • 2 adults

    Nice clean boat, great crew, and good weather made for a great trip. Saw a pod of Pilot whales and the fish were biting. Excellent day. And yes, the crab pots were full. Thanks to all. I'll be booking a steelhead trip for sure.

    Had to switch guide services

    Special 6 hour trip for Veronica Cashada • 2 adults

    Travis had to cancel on us so he hooked us up with Josh Sutch guide service out of Winchester Bay. Due to a mishap on Josh‘s trailer, he lost a wheel bearing so that put us back an hour and a half from leaving the dock and it also cut our trip short due to. He had another client in the afternoon he needed to take out, but overall the fishing trip was good. He was very professional gave us a discount for the day for the mishap, Mark his deck hand was professional and very helpful. If we ever go back to Winchester Bay I will look Josh up for another fishing trip.

    captain was great even though the fishing wasn’t

    Salmon Fishing And Crabbing (AM) • 2 adults

    The captain tried hard to give us the best chance of success. The fish just weren’t biting and the ones we did catch had to be leased.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you Jeff hopefully we can get ya out again!
