Slammer is pretty much a slam dunk as far as limiting out!  As said above, they have been doing very well.

It's assume that you get to spend time with dad . My father is working with me for a few days and It's great to have him around . remember to let him catch the biggest fish and gloat a bit . Even though you know your a better fisherman. oh yeah wash your hands really good so you don't scare all the elk of peaches. HAVE A BLAST !

Coach, I wouldn't worry bout me running off the elk with stench! I got a 407" bull tied to a tree! Hope you have that ten feet pin dialed in on your bow! Plus he is on the uphill side of the road about 20 feet off the road!!!   :chuckle: :chuckle:

PICCTURREESS!!!

Slammers pretty good about documenting all the fishing and the groups with photos. One of the things I liked. I went on a charted 2 years ago and It was a horrible experience. We went out on the Tornado.

What's the cost per person to go on the Slammer? Do they refund your money if you're seasick the entire time?   :)   :o

That's not bad. I might have to try that sometime. Been out on charters out of Westport a couple times but that's been over 30 years ago.   :yike:

And every time we went I did lots of chumming.   :puke:

No refunds for being sick, but you will get your fish if fishing is good. Rhett wont stop until the boat is limited or time runs out. Fished the Slammer last couple years and tried this year but all filled up. Going down next weekend on the Tequila Too.

Hour away from fishing!!!  Heck ya!! Do not stay at the Islander!!! It sucks, beds like concrete, 1970 tv, at 100.00 a night I would think they could remodel.. 

Anyway the Slammer has been killing the fish! Will update later!

Holy Crap!!! The Slammer is amazing! Captain Rhett says "hello" to all Hunt-Wa members! He is top notch to say the least. No other boat will get my business!!! 22 people limited on lingcod in a hour and a half! Bass limits reached in 25 mins. 220 bass total!! 3 keeper kings ! 1 huge halibut was released!!  Back at it tommorow for Salmon only...

That is some very dangerous advise, someone could end up addicted to Tuna on live bait and their life will never be the same. Bulls on fire in close range is it's only equal for me. Enjoy the white meat.

The kings are in,  I lost at least three kings. With the current you can almost not feel them bite!!  My advice reel down on them hard and as fast as you can to set the hook. Any slack at all and they are gone!!
