It’s the PNW so dress appropriately in layers with rain gear.
Bring sunscreen (no sprays!!), sunglasses, hats and cameras.
Bring drinks and snacks, but please refrain from bringing hard alcohol or glass bottles.

The boat is a no smoking vessel and USCG regulations prohibit drugs on board (even marijuana).

I can’t guarantee you’ll catch fish, but will use my experience to give you the best chances of bringing fish home.

You keep what you catch.
