Personalized trips planned around seasons, tides, weather, and your goals for the day.
-
Lingcod
The first of May to mid-June, two to ten miles from the resort. $650 for the boat. Two anglers and kids welcome.
The daily limit is one fish per license holder, 26” to 36” in length. 26” to 28” fish are common catch. If you hook one larger than 36,” you’ll know.
Filleted and cooked with butter, salt, and lemon or dredged in flour with egg wash, panko, and then pan fried goes best with friends.
-
Shrimp
Selected dates May 25th through the end of July, five to twenty miles from the resort. $650 for the boat. Pots are set in 170’ to 240’ of water, resulting in work even with a pot puller. These are good trips for someone who loves fresh spot shrimp and is willing to do the work and cover some ground.
Four to six shrimp per person, cooked over a wood fire, are amazing.
-
Crab
Starting mid-July, within five miles of the resort Wednesday through Sunday. $450 for the boat. The boat carries two adults with kids. Traps are set within 45’ to 60’ feet of water and pulled by hand. We will bait and set these together. I will help you sort out your harvest for the day based on the daily limit of five males 6 1/4” per license holder. Crabs are enjoyed best the day caught. Plan on one crab per adult and leftovers the following day—chilled in the shell or as crab cakes.
-
Halibut
These are big trips of twenty to fifty miles for one or two anglers. $750 for the boat. Flexing to weather and tides will be important to provide the best odds for success.
Halibut are easy when they are there but are hard when they are not. The approach is drifting natural baits made of octopus and lingcod skins.
-
Salmon
Salmon are within five to fifteen miles of the resort. $650 for two anglers, and kids are welcome.
There are many methods, with trolling flashers and spoons to match bait size being one of the most effective. Anyone who wants to go ‘old school’ with mooching and jigging techniques is welcome. We will make a day out of it.
Salmon are wonderful filleted, portioned, and pan cooked with butter and salt. Smoking is a wonderful preparation for salmon that is to be shared.
When fishing gets difficult, we meet at daylight.

Fly Fishing
Lingcod, blackmouth, and coho represent the best opportunity for fly fishers. I have the experience, equipment, and skills if you want to make this an exploration.
