Title: Bottom fish charters, Westport
Post by: 7mmfan on June 27, 2019, 12:31:25 PM: I'm going to be in Westport from the 6th-13th of July with my in-laws. My FIL is not a fisherman, but has showed some interest in going, so I was planning on booking a bottom fish trip for us. The only boat I've ever been on was the Hula Girl, but they only have combo trips available and I'm not sure I want to shell out the coin when I don't really need any salmon in the freezer.

Does anyone have any particular boats they like going out on specifically for bottom fish down there? I doubt it matters all that much, it's a pretty straight forward fishery, but I'm hoping to provide a quality experience for my FIL.

Thanks,

Rory

If you want to do the 6 pack, I would recommend Nick with High Life Charters. We have gone out twice with him this year and had a GREAT time. The smaller boat is so much nicer than the big ones.

I have been trying to go with them and finally making that happen Saturday. I will also be going tuna fishing with them in September.

I just booked a day with Nick at High Life Charters. I talked with him for quite a while and he didn't have a problem taking just the 2 of us out so I ran with it. Should be a good day.

You book through deep sea charters 360-268-9300 just ask to be on the slammer. Great clean boat and good equipment. Deck hand Will keeps the deck fishing.

Dang that would have been a good option. I’m not going to cancel now though. Nick seems like a good guy after talking with him so I’m sure we’ll have a fine time.
