We did the 3 hour evening trip, which was perfect for my family - including our 4 year old. Captain Forrest started by giving us a few options of what the trip could look like so we could tailor to what we thought would go best. We started with bottom fishing for mostly rockfish. Once we had enough for the weekend meals, we chose to checkout wildlife then troll for salmon. We got to see an eagle fishing right next to our boat - it was amazing! Captain also found sea otters and we saw a mom and baby. We caught rockfish, cod, and pollack, the kiddo “drove” the boat, and nobody got seasick. Forrest and deck mate Ben were professional and engaging. Wonderful day for a family with a little one!

We were visiting Anchorage, Alaska from Oregon and were interested in catching halibut. We came in the early season, April, when not many charters are taking people out for halibut fishing. Our Captain, Forrest, was extremely helpful with getting us the information we needed to navigate to Homer and what to bring with us. We flew in for a day trip to Homer and he and his deckhand, Jacqueline, picked us up from the airport and took us to their beautiful boat ,The Black Pearl. From there we went out into Kachemak bay and began our fishing. The morning current proved to be a little rough so we began in a smoother area for rockfish. After nearly catching our limit, the swells subsided and we moved into halibut territory. We were able to catch around 10 Pacific Cod along with 2 halibut to meet our goal. Along the way we caught a few ugly Irish Lords and kelp greenling. We finished our rockfish limit and then proceeded to troll for salmon. We were also given the opportunity to feed a pair of bald eagles with herring that were closely following the boat. From there we called it a day, headed back in and Forrest helped bring our filleted fish into the freezing and shipping depot where they could be shipped back home to Oregon when we arrive. Afterwards we were driven back to the airport for our short flight back to Anchorage! We also stopped by to see a few Moose on the way. Overall it was a wonderful day fishing and would be thrilled to do it all over again! Thank you Forrest and Jacqueline!

Highly recommend. Forrest and Jacqueline were amazing! Super friendly and got us to great spots to catch some 70lb halibut - walked away with 120lbs of filet meat 🤩 thank you Forrest and Jacqueline. We will be back for more!

We started off fishing for rockfish. We’d barely have our hook in the water and these things were biting like crazy. I’ve never caught fish so fast . The halibut were a little harder to find and definitely picky. They made us work for them but that’s why it’s called fishing. The cod kept us busy and entertained while we were fishing for halibut. Captain Forrest was great. He knows the waters well. Very polite and professional as well as an obviously skilled fisherman. Colton, the deckhand, was also very nice and professional. He was filleting fish the entire way back and doing an excellent job. We ended our day filled out with our halibut and rockfish as well as some cod as an added bonus.

Captain Forrest quickly found more halibut than our limit, and then we moved on to rockfish, where we got our limit with a couple hours to spare. Our deck hand attentively assisted throughout, and then he efficiently fileted our catch during the return ride. The new boat is beautiful with a very visitor-friendly design that never felt cramped, and Forrest navigate choppy waters with expertise. Highly recommend! Thank you, Forrest, for providing an experience we’ll remember forever!
