Had a great day Halibut fishing on Salt Shaker! Dominic and Connor were a great crew. Got us on the fish. I got my PB Halibut. The boat handled great even in rough water. Will definitely go out again with them.🤙

Had an amazing day fishing off Oregon coast today on the Salt Shaker. Captain Dominic has decades of experience and the top of the line gear. Fishing halibut in 800+ feet was a breeze with electric reels. Dominic’s son Connor was his deck hand and he was great he never let anyone run out of bait and helped everyone with any questions they had. I HIGHLY recommend this fishing experience even if you’re brand new to fishing.
