THE SPECIES

Multi-species action without halibut

This trip is built around a diverse catch: anglers target salmon, rockfish and lingcod in productive Gulf Coast waters—offering varied tactics and steady strikes throughout the day.

THE SETUP

Open-deck fishing and onboard shelter

While the boat has warm, dry cabins for staging and breaks, all fishing takes place on the open deck—expect to be outside while casting and fighting fish.

THE SCALE

Day trips tailored for small groups

Designed for small-party outings, the excursion accommodates a limited number of guests for up-to-12-hour trips that emphasize hands-on fishing and a personal guide experience.
