A fishing day consists of eight (8) hours on the water (from port) or when maximum fishing limits are reached by all fishermen on board. Usually you will be back in port mid afternoon. Plenty of time for relaxing or other activities.
Yes we will. At the end of each fishing day all salmon, halibut, or other catch will be cleaned. On package trips your catch will be professionally processed & vacuum packed as well as frozen & boxed in insulated fish boxes.

We can accommodate children of all ages. Children's lifejackets are on board.
If that were the case it would be called catching, not fishing. However days we don’t catch fish are rare events.
When booking a trip for halibut you should watch the tides for the smallest difference between the high and low slack, generally this occurs near the quarter moon phase. If you book during and around this time you should have the most success.
When fishing for salmon the tides are not as important as they are for bottom fish. The salmon start to show up in late May and will continue to be in the area until late September early October.
