BE READY FOR A GOOD DAY

A little preparation goes a long way.

Use this checklist to help everyone arrive comfortable, legal, and ready to fish.

ARRIVING IN LA PUSH

Confirm your time. Meet your captain.

Trips leave from La Push Marina. Follow the meeting instructions in your confirmation; Capt. Lamont normally meets guests 10 minutes before departure. Departure times depend on tides and weather. Save directions and contact details before traveling because mobile coverage can be limited.

Check WDFW fishing-license requirements

01

Fishing license

Check current WDFW license and catch-record requirements for every angler, including children and halibut anglers. Purchase the appropriate license before departure; confirm the details with the captain.

02

Rest and hydration

Get a good night’s rest and bring drinking water. Leave time to arrive without rushing. If motion sickness is a concern, make a prevention plan before departure.

03

Motion-sickness plan

If you are prone to seasickness, speak with your medical professional and follow the product directions. Preventive options generally work best before symptoms begin.

04

Dress in layers

Bring warm layers, rain gear, waterproof footwear, a hat, gloves and spare socks. Coastal conditions can change quickly.

05

Food and water

Bring water, light snacks and a modest lunch. Heavy or oily foods may not sit well on the ocean.

06

Cooler for the ride home

Leave your cooler in the vehicle during the trip. Your catch can be processed at the dock and packed for the trip home.

07

Camera and small bag

Bring a phone or camera for the catch and possible wildlife sightings. Keep personal belongings together in one small bag.

08

Family-friendly policies

Alcohol, smoking, vaping and recreational drugs are not allowed. Guests who appear impaired cannot participate.

About the onboard bathroom

The Safari has a private restroom—a meaningful comfort on trips that may last from 2 hours to most of the day. Please use shore facilities before departure when practical, but know that privacy is available when nature calls.

ANSWERS FROM CAPT. LAMONT

Common questions about fishing in La Push

Where do KYS Outdoor Adventures fishing trips depart?

Our ocean fishing charters depart from La Push, Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula. Capt. Lamont confirms your meeting and departure details before your trip.

How many people can fish aboard the Safari?

The 31-foot F/V Safari accommodates up to six anglers. Choose a private trip for your family or friends, or book individual seats on a shared trip.

Can one or two people book a fishing trip?

Yes. Smaller groups can book nearshore rockfish and Offshore/Ext. Nearshore Rockfish and Lingcod trips. Those trips need three total anglers to operate; your party does not have to supply all three. Capt. Lamont confirms whether the trip can run.

Are your La Push fishing charters suitable for children and beginners?

Absolutely. No fishing experience is needed—for children or adults. Capt. Lamont supplies the gear, demonstrates the basics and provides patient, step-by-step help. Questions are encouraged in our G-rated, alcohol-free setting. The 2-Hour Express Fishing trip is a shorter option. Tell Capt. Lamont the children's ages and your group's experience so he can help you choose.

What equipment is included, and is there a bathroom?

Rods, reels, tackle and bait are provided. The Safari has a heated enclosed cabin and a private onboard bathroom. Fish processing at the marina is an additional charge.

What time do fishing trips leave?

Departure times depend on the trip, tides and weather. Customized departure times may be available by arrangement. Confirm your departure time with Capt. Lamont before making travel plans.

What fish can we target, and where can we see prices?

Our listed fishing trips include Nearshore Rockfish (4 hours or limits), Offshore/Ext. Nearshore Rockfish and Lingcod (5 hours or limits), Pacific halibut and 2-Hour Express Fishing. See Trips & pricing for rates and trip lengths.
