Captain Josh & Captain Jordan have both been fishing in Alaska waters for over a decade. Both captains began work in Homer as deckhands, fish filleters and commercial fisherman. It didn't take long for either of them to decide they wanted to do this as a profession and make careers of it. By running fishing trips for other people, Captains Josh & Jordan get to fish every day and enjoy the scenery of Alaska, which is second to none.
