FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS AND THEIR ANSWERS
- What should I bring and
wear? Everything you need to fish with is
provided. You need to bring a lunch, camera,
binoculars, sunscreen, sunglasses, warm clothes and a desire to have fun and
catch fish. We can arrange for box lunches if you desire. If you forget any
thing let us know, we usually have some spares on the boat.
You will see marine
mammals, Seals, Sea Lions and occasionally Dahls Porpoise and Orca Whales. If it might
rain you should bring rain gear, but the cabin is covered and you can go inside anytime.
It's best to dress in layers so you can peel some off when it gets warm, or put some on if
it cools off.
- Will we still go if the
weather is bad? If the water is too rough for
safety we will reschedule or cancel. If it's raining, we'll still go. The boat has a
covered and heated cabin so you can get out of the rain if necessary. Around here we can't
let a little rain stop us.
- If something comes up and I
can't go, do I get my deposit back?
Cancellations although rare are sometimes inevitable. We
will work with you to the best of our ability, rescheduling is the best policy. If you must cancel you are required to give us at least 7
days notice for a full refund. If you notify us less than 7 days before the trip we will
refund the deposit if we are able to rebook the trip with other people. Last minute cancellations are charged a $80
per person fee.
No shows are charged the full fare. This is charged to credit card on file at time of
reservation
- Do
you have a refrigerator for our drinks?
There is a box for fish, but
you will need to bring a cooler for your drinks.
- Is it better to fish in the
morning or in the evening? That's hard to say
because sometimes fishing is better in the AM, and sometimes in the PM. It really depends
on what time you like to get up in the morning.
- Where to stay?

- How
far in advance do you need to book? As
soon as you know the date you want you should make a reservation. Weekend
trips fill up the fastest. One month in advance is a good idea. If you have
some flexibility in your dates we can usually accommodate you even on short
notice.
- Do
you keep what you catch? You
can keep up to the legal limit. Many practice catch and release. We
clean or fillet and bag the fish you keep
- How
do you get your fish home? We provide
free bags. If you want your fish prepared for shipping a local fish market
close to the dock helps with that. They will put it in a box and use gel
packs to ship fresh fish. You can have your fish smoked and vacuum packed,
then shipped if you like. We are glad to help you with your fish.
- How
far out do we go to fish? Puget Sound is
protected water with no ocean swells. You
will be fishing within sight of land usually within a mile or less of shore. The
average travel time to the fishing grounds is 15 to 30 minutes
- How
old do you have to be to fish? All ages are welcome. We
have taken people from 1 week old to 95 years old.
- How
long does the trip last? Standard trips
last six to seven hours from check in time till you return to the dock. We
offer 4 hour trips for those so inclined. Private charters can be structured
to meet your time schedule.
- Do
you need a fishing license? Yes if you are
15 years of age or over. We are a licensed dealer and carry one-day licenses
on the boat. The
cost is $9 per person whether you are a resident or non-resident of
Washington.
- What
is the maximum number of people on the boat? The boat is
licensed to carry up to six passengers for hire. The boat is large enough
and safe enough to handle many more than that. If
you have reserved the boat for a private charter you can expect to have only
your party on the boat.
- Is
there a first mate or deck hand? Most of the time
there is just the captain and your party. The
boat is set up very well with autopilots and design of fishing gear, which
allows the captain to assist you.
- What
fishing techniques do you use? Most salmon
fishing is done trolling with downriggers, using light to medium tackle. We
fish with lots of different lures and sometimes bait.
- Is
there a place that will cook your fish? Most
restaurants don’t want to deal with this for health reasons.
- What
are your payment options? A deposit of 50%
per person is required to guarantee your reservation. The remainder is due
at time of check in. We
prefer cash or check. We will accept visa or master card.
