Deepwater Ling Cod
For years, the offshore waters have been closed to help rebuild
certain stocks of fish. Starting in 2019, due to the good numbers
of fish, we are allowed to fish deep water spots in the first half of June
for ling cod and rockfish. This trip is physically
demanding because of the water depth and gear. It is exciting
knowing there are large fish out there just waiting to be caught!
Please check our schedule as these trips are only offered on
select dates.
Departure time: 5:00 AM

Combo
This is a great trip if you want to fish for rockfish and
salmon, but just have one day to fish! We allocate about
half of the day to rockfish and the other half to salmon. We
will be offering the trips when salmon season is open and some
other dates on requests. Check our schedule for the 2024 combo
days. Some other days might be available by request.
