WHAT TO FISH FOR with ben
Fishing Trips
Where We Fish Out Of
We start each fishing trip launching out of a number of locations. Here are current boat ramps we launch out of. I will share details of where we will meet, where you can park, any parking fee, and the time we will meet for your fishing trip. This often depends on the tides and the sea, river, and weather conditions.
What Should I Bring?
I provide all rods, tackle, gear, and bait. I handle the fish cleaning for salmon and steelhead, and the marina handles bottom fish and crab (nominal fee). Clients provide their own fishing license, food, and drinks. Remember: there is no bad weather only bad clothing. Dress in layers appropriate to the season and the location. Ask me if you are unsure.
Fishing Trips With Family, Friends, for Reunions, Events… or Alone
I guide families, groups, put together company events, fish with adults, teens, children, seniors, and anyone who enjoys the magnificent Pacific Northwest.
Enjoy time together, or alone, and experience some of the best fishing. Whether you want to fish for Chinook or coho salmon, steelhead, bottom fish, hard-fighting sturgeon, or catch Dungeness Crab… get in touch.
