Itinerary
We pick you up from Orca Island Yurts around 7:20 am or 1:20 pm. As we ease out of the cove, the crew will check fishing licenses, cover essential safety info, and outline the game plan. The run to the fishing grounds typically takes 20–45 minutes, depending on where the bite is best.
Once we’re on the spot, you’ll spend the trip trolling or jigging for salmon and rockfish while taking in gorgeous scenery and frequent wildlife sightings—equal parts thrill and chill. On the way back, the deckhand begins cleaning your catch and will finish in the slip with the captain if there’s a big haul.
