We have a FANTASTIC halibut fishing trip with Captain Herm. He was professional, patient and overall a nice guy. Not mention a very good fisherman. The boat we went out on was newer and pretty clean. We had action from the moment we dropped bait until we left 4 hours later. We all caught our limit and threw back a couple dozen.

We saw humpback whales, a pod of orcas that swam along our path for a long time, sea lions and sea otters! What more could you ask for! After our tour he connected us with a friend/guide and we went on a land tour looking for bears…and got to see a big brown bear right by our van foraging for about 10 minutes. Amazing day!
