Capt Justin was great
8 Hour Trip – Halibut Shared on July 10, 20262 adults1 child

Went out with Justin over 2 days with 2 adults and a 10 year old. We had horrible seas the first day and he did absolutely everything he could to try and get us into fish but it was just too rough to fish safely. This turned into fishing some smaller bays and an unplanned tour of Seldovia to wait out the weather. Second day with good weather we all limited out. It was a great trip, and he will take good care of you.

Must do fishing experience!
10 Hour Trip – Multi-Species Shared on August 21, 20252 adults

This fishing trip was probably the best one we have done. Captain Jordan and Sienna were absolutely amazing. They made sure we not only found the fish we wanted to find but made sure we caught them. They were helpful and so much fun. I would recommend them over and over. Definitely makes us want to come back and fish with them again.

Went out on the Booty Call with Chuck. He did a great job. We all caught halibut, rockfish, lingcod, and a couple of king salmon. He worked his tail off for us.
