Advantage Charters
Take a charter out of Neah Bay Harbor with Advantage Charters. Be prepared for an early morning and full day, as the trips depart the harbor at 5:30 a.m. If you catch a halibut, the rest of the day is spent going for alternate bottom fish, as the daily limit for halibut in 2010 is one per angler.
Fishing gear and tackle are provided for use. Guides help with bringing the large fish onto the boat and setting hooks and equipment. Smoking, filleting and shipping is arranged back in town at the harbor docks. Bring foul weather gear as the Northwest has heavy rain and clouds and wind frequently.
