second trip!!
Full Day Trip on July 24, 20264 adults

It was my second trip with Captain Herman. The first trip went so well that this time I brought 3 family members. We got to the fishing grounds a little late due to a misunderstanding on my part. Because of this many boats were already fishing when we arrived. Despite this, even after catch and releasing several smaller but legal fish, we limited out and were headed back before most of the boats out there, even with the same amount or less fisherman as us. Same fishing grounds with better results tells me Captain Herman is doing something right!!

Captain Herman Fleishman has been an avid fisherman since he was 12 years old. He started running this fishing charter in 2014 but he also used to guide when he was a younger man in Alaska in the 1980s. Not only does he love taking you out, but he also loves to teach you the successful methods that he's been using for decades. His passion for teaching runs beyond his charter as he is a member of a few fishing organizations that aim to enhance fishing for future generations.
