Juneau Adventures – 30'
If you’re ready to try fishing in Juneau, we’ve got you covered with Juneau Adventures. Having logged many hours on these tides, Captain Terry is prepared to put you on fish!
These waters are known for a variety of Salmon, as well as Halibut, Rockfish, Lingcod, and more. For these species, you’re likely to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle. Any fish you catch are yours to take home, provided they’re within size and bag limits. Catch cleaning is available, so you can take your fish home and throw it right into the pan. Have a cooler ready in the car!
Your trip begins aboard "Petrel," a 30’ Duckworth fishing with a capacity for 6 passengers. It has downriggers and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. Fast, safe, and comfortable, she’ll get you to the fishing grounds quickly. All modern electronics, electric down-riggers, Salmon and Halibut rods, and reels. Cabin heaters, enclosed head with electric flush. This boat is a fishing machine!
You’ll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish and make the most of your trip. A 10%–20% tip at the end of the day is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work. Before coming aboard, you’ll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group that is over the age of 16. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.
Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! There will be some drinks and light snacks on board. Lunch is included for 6 and 8-hour trips.

3/4 Day Trip – Halibut (PM)
Capt. Terry is awesome!!
No one in my family is an angler, but on our Alaska cruise I still wanted to fish. Capt. Terry had a taxi waiting for me right off the boat and at the pier to take us back. I learned that fishing takes some work, and technique that we were trying to figure out. The crew was there helping all 6 of us to figure it out, and letting us learn how to do it instead of just reeling in a fish they caught. It would have been nice to come home with more fish, but it is fishing after all, not catching. I absolutely loved my day on the water, and I would definitely go back and book another trip with Capt. Terry. Next time, I’ll just make sure to spend a few days.

Half Day Trip – Salmon (PM)
Great trip!
We had a crew of 4 and were taken out by Captain John and deckhand Dylan for a half day salmon trip. Captain John was there to greet us at the dock and was very friendly and welcoming. We went out on the 50/50 boat a 30’ which had plenty of room for fishing and warmth inside. We made it out to the fishing area within 15 minutes and had 4 rods in the water right away. The fishing was a little slow as we saw other boats not bringing in fish either and whales had entered the fishing area. While it was amazing to see whales, they do not help fishing. About halfway through the day my son hooked into a nice fish that was a great fight! He ended up landing a 30” King salmon, the biggest fish of his life! I caught a smaller chum salmon but was still fun to catch! My mother and father in law didn’t get a chance to fish as we had no other bites. Dylan was working hard and being helpful to make the trip enjoyable and fun for everyone. He’s a good kid and his family should be proud. He even let my son try fresh salmon eggs and salmon heart which he loved! Overall it was a great fishing trip and an experience that my son will never forget! If we’re ever back in the area, I’ll definitely book another trip! Thank you Captain John and Dylan!

Half Day Trip – Salmon (PM)
First fishing trip in Alaska
This was our first fishing trip in Alaska. We are novices and appreciated Terry accommodating our change in schedule. Terry was not able to take us that day so we had a different crew which was friendly. They were great with our 4 kids. We were able to see orcas which was a treat. Unfortunately, we did not catch any fish. We set out to catch salmon but it was too early in the season. As novices, we would have appreciated a discussion about our goals and priorities. What we caught was less important than the experience of catching something. We would have gladly started or switched to something else like halibut and rockfish. We asked about that halfway through our 4 hour fishing trip but it was too late. It was a beautiful day. We definitely appreciated the beauty of the area.
