June

September brings a season of change with cooler temps and salmon inland migration, our ocean salmon catch is chinook and coho, with a multitude of lingcod halibut and rockfish. September consistently is the best month for a trophy lingcod halibut and yelloweye. The reason being, I’ve spent the entire summer zeroing in on their locations. By the end of September the season has concluded and we have caught all the fish for the year!

August brings the greatest variety of salmon species with all 5 caught daily for the first couple weeks! Weather is generally the best of the season. The highlight of august is the availability of trophy size fish! Each year we consistently catch several trophy size lingcod halibut and yelloweye throughout august.

July welcomes Lingcod retention and we are the premier charter for this species. We limited 97% of our trips when lingcod were a focal point in the past 6 years. July is quite a variety as the season progresses, we regularly limit on salmon and halibut, add lingcod to the catch and often deck load on pacific cod and rockfish. By the end of July, we are typically seeing quite a few coho salmon in the catch and often switch tactics to maximize the opportunity.
