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.

Response from Charter operator

Thank you so much! We’re thrilled you had such a great day on the water and that everyone got their halibut limits — with plenty of fish going back! 😄 We really appreciate the kind words about the boat, equipment, and crew. If you have a minute, we’d also really appreciate a Google review. It makes a huge difference for a small business like ours and helps people find us when searching for a Homer fishing charter. Thanks again for fishing with us — we’d love to have you back!

First Halibut Charter. Great time.
10 Hour Trip – Multi-Species Shared on July 26, 20263 adults

Set up a charter to take while we were visiting our son stationed in Alaska. We had a great time. Justin and Sienna put us on fish, took care of the filleting and helped set up processing. A trip we will never forget. Highly Recommend.
