Five-hour deep sea fishing adventure targeting tuna and grouperSmall group experience with maximum three guests aboardExpert crew provides guidance from 7 AM departure
Looking for a solid half-day charter that delivers real results? This 5-hour deep sea trip with Radar's Pro Fishing runs from May through October, giving you prime access to some seriously productive offshore waters. We're talking early morning departures at 7 AM when the fish are most active, with experienced captains who know exactly where to find the action. Whether you're new to saltwater fishing or you've been chasing fish for decades, this charter keeps things straightforward – get you on fish, help you land them, and make sure you have a blast doing it.
Your day starts early with a 7 AM departure, which is perfect timing for hitting the best fishing windows before other boats crowd the spots. The crew at Radar's Pro Fishing runs a tight operation – they'll call you 15 minutes before departure to make sure you're headed to the right meeting point. No confusion, no missed trips. The boat comes fully rigged with quality gear, downriggers, and everything you need to target the big ones. With only 3 anglers max per trip, you're getting personalized attention from the crew, not fighting for rod time or space at the rail. The captains know these waters inside and out, so while other boats might be struggling to find fish, you'll likely be into them before you even get the second line in the water.
This is primarily a trolling operation using downriggers to get your bait down to where the salmon are holding. If you've never run downriggers before, don't sweat it – the crew will walk you through releasing the line and playing the fish once you're hooked up. They're running cut plug herring and other proven baits that produce consistent results in these waters. The gear is all provided, but if you want to bring your own rod, make sure it can handle 20+ pound fish pulling drag. You'll be fishing in deeper offshore waters where the big chinooks cruise, and when you hook into a teenager or better, you'll want equipment that can handle the fight. The crew knows when to move spots, when to change depths, and how to adjust techniques based on what the fish are telling them that day.
"We fished with Raiden. All I can say is He is the man! Awesome*****personality, on time and on the mark.! Definitely knew where to go and where to fish. Our most productive and enjoyable fishing on this trip!! If I ever get back this way, We'll book him every day! On a 1-10, We give him a 15.! He's a Young lean mean fishing machine!! We definitely recommend fishing with him!" - Robert
"Mike was ready and helpful from the very start, calling me 15 mins before meeting time to make sure we wound up in the right place. Raiden was very responsive over email leading up to fishing day. We got our first hit before the second line was even in the water, and hammered chinook for most of the morning. We limited on 10, 13, 17, and 20 pounders, and started and ended with double heaters. Important to note: most other boats on the water hardly played anything. This was my partner's first time fishing, and she got 5 or 6 to the boat with Mike's help. I had never used down riggers (just cut plug) and he answered all my questions and helped me learn how to free the line on my own. Afterwards, we found a couple humpies. Perfect morning." - Brendan
"Trip of a lifetime with Captain Mike. Hooked up on a double header within 5 minutes and the action didn't stop. On top of the great fishing, we had company with several humpback whales putting on a display. It was my son's first experience salmon fishing, and not sure how we will ever top this outing with Mike. He was great, very patient with both myself (who lost one of the fish on the first double header), and my son in helping us land all the fish from that point. Caught my biggest fish ever. Will make every effort to make Radar's Pro Fishing charter a part of our family island holidays in the future. Highly Recommended" - Rick
Pink Salmon show up in huge numbers during even-numbered years, typically from July through September. These fish might be smaller than their chinook cousins, but they make up for it with sheer numbers and aggressive strikes. Pinks are perfect for beginners because they're willing biters and put up a decent scrap without being too overwhelming to handle. You'll often find them in large schools, so when you locate one, you're usually looking at multiple hookups. They're also great eating when handled properly and bled immediately.
Coho Salmon are the acrobats of the salmon world, known for their spectacular jumps and hard runs once hooked. These silver bullets typically range from 8 to 15 pounds and are most active during the summer months through early fall. Coho are aggressive feeders and will often hit lures with authority, making them a favorite among sport anglers. They tend to stay in the upper water column, making them perfect targets for trolling operations. When you hook a coho, get ready for a show – they'll jump, run, and do everything they can to throw your hook.
Atlantic Halibut are the giants of the bottom, capable of reaching massive sizes that can test both your tackle and your endurance. These flatfish are ambush predators that lie buried in sandy or muddy bottoms, waiting for baitfish to pass overhead. While you might not target them specifically on every trip due to their deeper habitat preferences, when you do connect with a halibut, you're in for a serious battle. Even smaller halibut in the 20-40 pound range will give you a workout, and the bigger ones can easily exceed 100 pounds.

This Grady-White Cuddy Cabin powered by a reliable Suzuki engine is your ticket to productive deep sea fishing from May through October. Built for serious anglers, she's loaded with everything you need to locate and land the big ones - GPS navigation, radar, and a quality fish finder to put you right on top of the action. The wireless trolling motor lets you position quietly over productive spots without spooking the fish. When you're battling tuna, grouper, or snapper in the deep water, you'll appreciate the stable platform and comfortable cockpit. Between fishing, retreat to the cuddy cabin where you'll find a bed for quick rest, onboard toilet, multimedia system, and icebox to keep your drinks cold and your catch fresh. Perfect for up to 3 anglers who want to fish hard and stay comfortable during those productive 5-hour offshore trips.
Hippoglossus HippoglossusAtlantic Halibut are the giants of the flatfish world - we're talking about fish that can reach 8 feet and 700+ pounds, though most run 30-50 pounds. These diamond-shaped bottom dwellers hang out in 150-500 feet of water over sandy or muddy bottoms in cold North Atlantic waters. Peak season runs March through October when they move into shallower feeding areas. What makes them special is the epic battle they put up - these fish are incredibly strong swimmers that'll test your gear and endurance. Plus, they're considered a true delicacy. The secret is drifting with heavy jigs and letting the boat's movement work your bait naturally. Always tire them out completely before bringing them boatside - they're known for breaking bones with that powerful tail.
Sebastes AuriculatusBrown Rockfish are solid bottom dwellers that cruise rocky areas and kelp beds in 100-400 feet. Also called chocolate bass, these mottled brown fish average 12-18 inches and live up to 34 years. They're night feeders that love crabs, shrimp, and small fish, hiding in rocky crevices during daylight hours. While they don't put up a huge fight, they're steady biters and excellent table fare. Best fishing is over rocky structure with heavy jigs that get straight down in current. Live anchovies or sardines work great, but squid strips are my go-to bait. Watch out for their venomous spines - handle with care. The key is getting your bait right to the bottom where they're hanging out in the shadows.
Oncorhynchus KisutchCoho Salmon, or Silver Salmon, are real acrobats that'll jump 6 feet out of the water when hooked. These chrome-bright beauties average 8-12 pounds but can hit 30+ inches. They've got that classic dark blue-green back with silver sides and black spots on the tail. Best fishing is during their ocean phase in cooler months when they're feeding heavily on herring and squid. What guests love most is the fight - these fish are pure energy and known for their aerial shows. They're also top-notch table fare with bright orange meat. For the best success, try bright chartreuse or pink spoons and plugs. Pro tip: when one hits, work the area hard since Coho often travel in schools.
Ophiodon ElongatusLingcod are the monsters with attitude that every angler remembers. These toothy predators can reach 80+ pounds, with females getting much larger than males. They lurk in rocky bottoms from 30-300 feet, using their mottled green-brown coloring to ambush prey. Unlike most fish, they won't run when hooked - they'll fight you straight up with pure aggression. Available year-round, but spring and fall offer the best action when they're most active. What guests love is their prehistoric look and the fact they'll eat almost anything that moves. The meat is fantastic too - firm, white, and flaky. Best approach is heavy jigs bounced right on bottom near rocky structure. Use 30lb+ braided line since they live in snaggy areas and those big teeth can cut through lighter stuff.
Oncorhynchus GorbuschaPink Salmon, also known as Humpbacks, are the smallest Pacific salmon but perfect for beginners. These bright silver fish average around 5 pounds and develop that distinctive hump during spawning season. They love cold water and feed on plankton, small fish, and crustaceans - which gives their meat that beautiful pink color. You'll find them in coastal waters from May through September. What makes them fun to target is they're aggressive biters and great eating with high omega-3 content. The key trick is using bright pink jigs or hoochies to mimic the crustaceans they're after. A medium-action rod with 8-10lb line is all you need, and a little herring oil on your lure makes all the difference.
