HALIBUT W/ BOTTOM FISHING
A deep-water fishing excursion, most enjoyed by those with experience with our other bottom fishing trips. Because of the depth needed for this fishery, it is often necessary to fish in a “rotation” to prevent massive line entanglements.
The season begins in May and is on certain days specified by WDFW. The target is one Halibut and two Ling cod or rockfish. This fishery is set on a quota basis and if weather limits our fishing on the designated days, WDFW will offer other days to make up for lost fishing days. These are typically offered in June.
We fish between 400 – 700 feet of water. On average, Halibut weigh around 22 lbs. but it is not uncommon to have fish on board that are over 35 lbs. These trips are longer than our nearshore fishing trips and return to port between 4 and 6 pm. This varies based on catch rate, distance to the fishing grounds and weather.
Departs : AT 4.00 AM
Season Starts: May 2nd – 30th, 2024 Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays only
Target: (1) Halibut and (2) Lingcod

Went out with Colby on Real Electric had a great time limited and back at the dock by 11:30. Colby was on the fish right away, he had no deck hand and kept everything going great guy. I will be back.

Our tuna trip was AMAZING!!! Colby, our captain, and deckhand Tory were very knowledgeable and entertaining. We can't wait to book our next trip with Mutineer Charters on the Reel Electric!!!

Everything was first rate…from booking, communications, the boat (Slammer), skipper, deck hands. Caught our limit and back in by noon. Wow!I have fished with the Slammer before. This time I took two of my grandsons (16 and 11) out for their first trip. They caught a lot of fish, the deck hands were great with them. They had such a good time they want to go with me again.I gave my grands two rules - don’t fall overboard and don’t puke on grandma. Good thing they followed the rules! No puking at all! Lol

Had a great time on Stardust with Captain John and deck hand Dalton. They both worked together to make our time on the boat wonderful. John certainly knows where the fish are as we limited out before 10 am. Thanks for a great trip.

My son, three fiends and I went Salmon fishing out on the HOT Pursuit today. The Captain and the deck hand, who is the Captain's daughter did an awesome job today. The boat limited in about 2 hours and the crew handled it prefectly. They took time to make sure everyone had what they needed to be successfully and enjoy a day of fish. I will be recommended them to my friends in the future.

Great experience with Skipper John and deckhand, Dalton, on Stardust. Great crew and very helpful. Took my family on their first charter boat fishing for combo. They loved the nonstop action of the rockfish and the fight of the salmon. They even got to see and (inadvertently) catch shark which was pretty awesome for my 10 year old nephew. Would recommend this boat and crew. We limited by 1230.Make sure you layer up as it is cold and can be windy in the AM and hot in the afternoon. The seas were rough in the morning so take medicine if you are prone to motion sickness!

My son and I went out on the Slammer, what a great time. Our deck hand Brodie was amazing and if we go again we hope he is still there. Easy to reserve but do it early in the season, they will fill up. Best to stay in a hotel in walking distance. Go the night before and be ready to get up early, be on boat by 0530. June was nice because weather was nice. We caught the limit on Bass and Lin-cod was fun to fish. Tip Brodie well he works hard.Thanks guys for something to remember.

Mutineer charters was exceptional. I have had half -a- dozen charters in may past. This was the best. Check in was very easy, the crew was very helpful, the Skipper was on target for fishing. We limited the boat of 20+ in less than 3.5 hours. He was excellent at steerage keeping the boat as stable as possible and the run home was very smooth. The crew was very good at fileting with minimal waste. Will use again!!

Wow-what a Fantastic day we had on the Slammer!!Capt. Rhett seriously knows his stuff (I’m pretty sure he’s a fish whisperer, cause we were always on fish), He & his Excellent Crew took care of our large group (some who knew what they were doing and many who did not) with ease.We happened to hit some pretty rough water, as the winds unexpectedly came up, but still we almost all came home with our limit of fish.Thank you, Mutineer Charters, for a wonderful day of exciting Fishing and a freezer full of Good Eats!! We’ll be back!

I have been fishing in the Charter Slammer with Rhett for almost 9 years. I cannot say enough great things about Rhett and his operation. I’ve never been disappointed with fishing off of his boat.

I've been fishing with Rhett and the Charter Boat Slammer for many years. Year after year, he runs the best boat out of Westport. Always a good crew, very helpful, informative and lots of fish. NOT just fishing, it's an experience. Highly recommend.

Mutineer charters is owned by an experienced charterboat skipper. I have fished with him for years. The chater service has multiple boats to choose from all with great skippers and deckhands that will provide the highest customer service and quality fishing experience.
