8 Hour Trip Private– Halibut on June 30, 2025

Forest was knowledgeable, boat was very clean and well kept, equipment was in great shape. He went out of his way to make sure we caught the fish!! They kept our lines baited, working and so we could reel them in. If a spot slowed down we moved spots. If we wanted to try for a bigger fish we kept trying. He was so encouraging and fun! 8 hours sounded like a long time but did not feel like it. We didn’t have long periods of time when nothing was biting. I would highly recommend Black Pearl with Forest! Unless you don’t really want to have fun and catch fish!

Evening 3hr fishing trip-NonHalibut on June 16, 2025

Marcus and Lars were both great, putting us right on some easy to catch pollack to get things going quickly, and then onto salmon, where we caught a nice one! The evening trip is perfect for those not looking for a long full day out on the water. They were also very flexible with multiple options to keep our group (ages 12-75) engaged and having fun. Highly recommend!

8 hr Private trip Halibut/Rockfish on June 19, 2025

Took my son for his graduation trip from high-school. Been shut out on a few charter with no fish and really hoped this was not the same. We hit our limit on halibut and then fished a hole where we literally dropped the line and as soon as it hit had a fish on. Caught some monster cod. Best day of fishing ever.

8 Hour Trip – Halibut/Salmon on May 5, 2025

Forrest loves to fish and it’s not just about just getting fish in the boat. When you fish with Forrest you are part of the team and his experience and knowledge of the waters and fish are exceptional. The bonus was that we slayed them. He knew when to move, where to move and when to change it up. I will say you won’t be disappointed with the equipment, the boat and the captain. Five stars to Forrest you won’t be disappointed!!!!

5 Hour Trip Private – Halibut / Cod on August 29, 2024

Marcus and Charlie were awesome throughout. Very informative and patient with us getting the hang of everything. Marcus explained where we were going, safety tips about the boat and what to expect for the duration of the trip. Charlie was super entertaining. Both guys were on point with baiting and hauling the fish in and keeping us informed as we went regarding the fish we caught and ensuring we got as much as we could. We caught our first fish within 2 minutes of dropping anchor. This was a huge event for my dad's 80th birthday and he earned his nickname "The Cod Father"... highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun trip. Thank you Marcus and Charlie!!

Fishing has been a part of Capt. Forrest's life ever since he could walk. He grew up near the coast of North Carolina but everything changed after his father took him to Alaska, where he had a fishing adventure of a lifetime. After that trip, Capt. Forrest decided to pursue his passion and moved here with the intention to become a professional angler. At first, he worked for other outfitters during summer and did commercial crabbing during winter. Seven years later, he has his own charter and loves to share his knowledge with other people.
