We ended up with
50 Plus Salmon
8 Halibut - Allowed 1 Per person
5 Nice Ling Cod and a few rockfish.

The package allows for 3 Days of fishing. My feeling is you need 5 days of fishing if you want to get limits of Salmon, Halibut, Lingcod, and Rockfish. 45 Minute boat ride through the narrows one way. Another 45 minutes to the halibut grounds eats up some fishing time.

Our captains were great. Experienced, hardworking, and pleasant to be around. Boats were clean, safe, well maintained, and well equipped to make up a very comfortable experience.

Lodge has 2 exceptional chefs and a great menu. breakfast with fresh pastries, fruit, yogurt, coffee, bacon, eggs, potatoes, or most things made to order: pancakes, French toast, breakfast burritos.

Great packed lunches: multiple choices for sandwiches with more than enough deli meats and cheeses, chips, fruits, yogurt, fresh cookies, chocolates, homemade trail mix blends, and optional breakfast burritos, thermos full of hot coffee for each person….

Dinner: A different Hot soup when you walk through the door at the end of each fishing day, appetizers, salads, fresh bake bread, full bar with all the choices you would want and a trained bartender, wines with dinner, main course is usually three items with fresh fish, and a sauce, last night is steak and prawns, usually there’s three or four choices of a homemade dessert - ranging from cheesecake, different kind of cakes, pie, ice cream, fruit sauce, or compote, or chocolate sauce…

After dinner activities includes: shuffleboard card games, music, to have a fire and a fire pit outside, play cornhole if you’re into that, walk on the beach across the street, walks along the waterfront or down to the harbor, phone service is OK and Internet access through the Wi-Fi.

Room service every day, including clean sheets, laundry services available or do it yourself using too big modern washers and dryers. Everything is housed in one good size lodge, capable of hosting seven groups or 28 people. Four people per boat.

Honestly, there’s not much to complain about. Wasn’t one bad or negative item to note.

Absolutely paradise here.

We already have our dates next year!
