FAQ
HOW DO I GET MY FISHING TRIP BOOKED?
There are a few different ways that you can contact us to get your fishing trip on the books.
First and usually best, although you may have to leave us a message because we are often times fishing in areas with limited phone reception is to give us a call or even just a text message at (509)440-2267. If you’re sure to leave us a message we can guarantee a call back ASAP!!
Another great way to contact us to get your guided fishing trip booked is heading on over to our contact page where we have a form that you can fill out that shows us your interest and gives us your contact information and we will reach out to you as soon as we are available to do so.
and finally our last method of getting your trip scheduled is to check out our “reserve my spot” page, on this page you’ll be able to select the amount of anglers that you wish to book your trip for, and pay your deposit. After that we will be notified, with your information and we will reach out to you as soon as possible to get a date picked out for your epic day of fishing in Washington!
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT THE DAY OF MY FISHING TRIP?
Within a day or two of your scheduled fishing trip Adam will reach out to you regarding the details of your fishing trip such as what time and what boat launch we will be using. as well as a reminder of what you’ll need to bring for your trip. Please be sure to bring the following.
WHERE DO I STAY IF COMING FROM OUT OF TOWN?
We have a few hotels that we can point you at but our favorite is THE LODGE AT COLUMBIA POINT Which is a very nice, affordable hotel with a few excellent resturants, a golf course and a boat launch within a couple minutes on foot!! be sure to tell them that we recommended you.
YOUR FISHING LICENSE

But please remember to print your license as you’ll need to have a copy of it during your fishing trip, or if you’re doing a fishing trip that requires a catch record card we would recommend heading to any local place that can sell you a fishing license (ask for recommendations if your from out of town).
YOUR FOOD AND BEVERAGES FOR THE DAY
Feel free to bring small coolers with any food and beverages that you would like for the day of fishing. Alcohol is okay, we just ask that you enjoy your drinks in moderation so you can fully enjoy your fishing adventure! If a customer drinks too much they may be asked not to drink any more for the duration of the trip as safety is taken very seriously on our vessel.
A COOLER SUFFICIENT TO HOLD YOUR CATCH FOR THE DAY
This is one key ingredient that is commonly forgotten. Most people bring a cooler to leave in their vehicle with plenty of ice to make it through the day. If your fish isn’t kept on ice, depending on the weather it can be spoiled by the time you make it home.
At the end of each fishing trip any fish that are retained will be filleted and bagged for you at no extra cost to you unless you prefer otherwise.
WEATHER APPROPRIATE CLOTHING
It can be crucial to dress in layers in the spring as well as the fall in the Pacific Northwest as we can sometimes see a double or more in temperature from morning to mid day.
HOW LONG DOES THE TRIP LAST?
We will always try to make the most out of your money! We try to make each and every fishing trip last a full 8 hours if we can! Certain fishing trips throughout the year are very limited and if each one of the anglers on board at the time limits out then the fishing trip will be over as it is not legal in most situations to continue fishing after limits are reached.
BUT always remember that this is YOUR fishing trip and you are more than welcome to release fish and continue looking for the one you wish to retain.
WHAT IS THE LIMIT OF THE FISH WE ARE AFTER?
Each of our seasons are regulated by Washington’s department of fish and wildlife. This can vary by year to year but Adam should be able to give you that information in your pre-trip phone call if you ask for it.
Our customers are always encouraged to research any fishing regulations to be sure all rules are followed by each angler in the boat.
