DECKHANDS work hard. GRATUITY is appreciated. THANK YOU

There are no hidden charges but keep in mind that tackle is not unlimited. The deckhand works hard and gratuity is appreciated. Be prepared to give the deckhand a little more if you want your fish filleted.
Odds are it will be cold in the morning and warm and sunny in the afternoon. Be ready for all conditions. Dress in layers. I like my rubber boots but are not necessary, old pair of sneaker are fine. Itβs better to have it and not need it, than want it and not have it.
No. These are wild fish. The captain and crew are good at what they do, but that Is why they call it fishing.
It is part of our service to gut and gill salmon,
if you want your catch filleted or steaked, ask the deckhand and heβd accommodate for an agreed upon fee.
Avoid long lines in the morning. Please purchase your fishing license in advance...
