It was a rough day but they made it a great day. Mice Halabut and Rock Fish catch.

You get what you pay for. Top quality boat, gear, and crew. Despite wind, rain and currents they still put us on the halibut including one 112 lb beast.
Captain David and first-mate Alec did a fantastic job of finding fish and working with a boat load of novice to catch them. They work closely with all 8 passengers to make sure they were taken care of and safe. Two great guys!
Not best or worst charter have had out of Homer, mostly chicken halibut and some rockfish , Wanted to go after Lingcod but Captain didn’t want to drive out another 12 miles. Was a combined halibut Salmon charter but never trolled for Salmon. The boat however is brand new and very comfortable, saw plenty of humpbacks, otters and even some orcas.
Very nice boat. All Business- would have liked to take a few pictures holding our catch.
