    Highly recommended charter

    Full Day – Rockfish Shared • 1 adult

    Great charter. Do not be scared off by the rod rental. The trip rate is already very reasonable and rental fees are basically nothing. Captain and deckhand were very friendly and got us onto loads of fish in a hurry. Captain even went above and beyond when I asked him about advice on shipping my catch back because I had an airplane to catch he brought me an airline approved box and cooler with a cold ice pack and expected nothing in return. Boat was very roomy, clean, and rode the waves like butter. Would fish with them again. Highly recommended.

    Reported catch:
    Lingcod
    Rockfish
