Cod Fishing Trip

We booked this trip because my Dad was coming for his 70th birthday. He is an avid fishermen in the Atlantic but had never fished in the Pacific. We couldn't afford a private charter, but this option was very affordable. My dad didn't like that fact that he had to buy a license (on the east coast the boat license covers everyone on board, apparently), but we had a great time and caught a ton of fish!! There were quite a few younger boys on board, too.....and the older guys made them feel more than welcome and the crew were very helpful, too. Best part was the deck hand (we had Josh that day) cleaned the fish for us (bring a cooler to take them home in...you can buy ice there). Josh charges you $1 a fish....please be sure to tip him well, too. It's worth it! We brought home about 30 pounds of fish and all we had to do was throw it into the freezer. Great trip for avid fishermen and beginners alike!

For the 2nd time we were disappointed in Randy's. Last year we had a whale watching trip cancelled at the last minute after we drove 160 miles and arrived at the dock. This year my two grandsons and I were booked a cod fishing trip that when we arrived at the dock at 6:30am discovered that they had chartered the boat to a large group and we were left 'in the cold'. There was no one at the office, no notice before driving the 160 miles to the dock (email!!), no notice at the dock. A kind bystander mentioned that they were a part of the charter and maybe we should go to Chris's Fishing Trips because he thought they were taking Randy's customers booked on the cod trip. So at the last minute we got on Chris's boat.....at least my two grandsons were not disappointed. Do yourself a favor.....book with Chris's.......had a great fishing trip with them!

My main contact was with the "Deck Hand" Josh. He was very Helpful. I will definitely take this trip again. I would also like to do a Halibut trip in late August or early September if one is available? Thank you, Larry Crowl

Supportive, dedicated people, well organized. A lot of fun, happy facies. Thanks

It was nice to not worry about where to find the fish. The skipper took us to a good fishing area (rock cod) and everybody limited out, so thank you

First time fishing for Cod/Rockfish on a boat in the pacific. It was a Tuesday so there were room to move about on the nice clean boat. The captain and crew were nice and helpful throughout the trip. Going to the fishing areas took about an hour of boat riding south down the coastline. Along the coastline, the waves were not as strong as in the open ocean. The fishing was great with frequent catches. There seemed to be an abundance of rockfish in the area. Different sizes and colors. Everyone caught their limit. Everyone was back on dry land by noon !

We had a great time. 5 of us went on the trip. Had a blast catching rock cod. Had to throw a whole bunch back because we caught too many. Captain was great on telling us the depth of the fish so that we know where to catch them. Deck hand was helpful in helping untangle tangled lines. Would do it again but recommend Dramamine to those that get sea sick (one of our member didn't fish because he was sick).

Too crowded, too many tangles, fish too small and too expensive.

Boat was clean, boarding was organized, captain put us on fish,..even though he had to burn up a lot of fuel to do so, deck hand Josh was running the whole day, almost everyone caught limits of sizeable fish. Out of our five guys, we each went home with about 15lbs of fillets. We'll do it again.

This was our 1st time deep sea fishing we all had a great time. One of our group members got alittle sick but still had alot of fun. The crew members were very helpful and had a lot of patience with us due to the fact we did not no what we were doing. We caught alot of fish and even had it cleaned thanks to our crew. I highly recommend this trip and will become a regular. THE BEST TIME FOR YOUR MONEY ON RANDYS BOAT!!!!
