Although we love catching fish, we do not want to kill more fish than necessary. It is good to have a plan in mind for what you want to do with your catch before you go out.
- Catch and release: a possibility for some species of fish. However, certain species of bottom fish do not recover well once brought to the surface. They cannot be released and be expected to survive.
- Processing: our processor is Jerry’s Meats & Seafoods. Your catch can be smoked or sent back to you freshly frozen. This cost is not included in your ticket price.
Pricing depends on the weight of the fish, how far it is being shipped, and the processing type. You will fill out a form once onboard that details your order. No American Express.
The fish you catch is the fish you will receive back. When the fish is received at processing, the tag you filled out stays with the fish throughout the entire procedure, packaging and shipping system.
Alder Smoking…………………………………………………………. $3.00/lb
Filleting or steaking, skinning & Chunking…………………$1.50/ lb
Vacuum pack only (not available for whole fish)……….$0.75/lb
Boxing + FedEx charges are separate
Fish can only be shipped within the United States and to Canada (though shipping rates to Canada are nearly double the rates charged for delivery with the US). Customs restrictions and refrigeration requirements prevent shipping to other countries.
- Donate it to the crew: please ask the crew if they would like your catch before you decide to donate it.
