Highlights
Outing Highlights
Prime Halibut Water a Short Run Offshore
Once launched, expect a 30–60 minute run to targeted halibut grounds where most of the day’s fishing takes place—set lines, work the bottom, and trade stories between strikes.
Tide-Dependent Departures from Dawn Into Morning
Departure times are scheduled around the tides and can be as early as 5:00 AM or as late as 10:00 AM; the captain will contact you with the exact start time so you can prepare for the run-out and a 6–8 hour day on the water.
Filleting Included, Vacuum Packing Available
After returning to the office the crew will off-load and hang the catch for photos; filleting is included in the price and commercial vacuum-packing is offered to keep fish as fresh as the day you caught them.
