Use this checklist to help everyone arrive comfortable, legal, and ready to fish.
ARRIVING IN LA PUSH
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 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.
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.
If you are prone to seasickness, speak with your medical professional and follow the product directions. Preventive options generally work best before symptoms begin.
Bring warm layers, rain gear, waterproof footwear, a hat, gloves and spare socks. Coastal conditions can change quickly.
Bring water, light snacks and a modest lunch. Heavy or oily foods may not sit well on the ocean.
Leave your cooler in the vehicle during the trip. Your catch can be processed at the dock and packed for the trip home.
Bring a phone or camera for the catch and possible wildlife sightings. Keep personal belongings together in one small bag.
Alcohol, smoking, vaping and recreational drugs are not allowed. Guests who appear impaired cannot participate.
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
Our ocean fishing charters depart from La Push, Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula. Capt. Lamont confirms your meeting and departure details before your trip.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
