Big Jim's Charters has been a local favorite for over 30 years in Juneau, Alaska, as these guys go the extra mile for everyone. They know the hot spots for Salmon and Halibut, and will work hard to provide a successful trip and an exciting experience. They operate from May 1 to Sept 15.

Our crew and Captains are experianced fishermen. Their job is to help you, teach you and get you on the fish.

You will fish aboard a like new 30 foot Offshore 2017 Duckworth with 2023 twin 300 hp Mecury's that get you to the fishing grounds fast, cruise at 30 plus knots. The boat has a private head, all the safety equipment, as well as a radar, chart plotters, Sonar fish finder, electric downriggers.

Capt. Mike can pick you up at the Fisherman's Bend Marina where you'll start your nearshore and offshore adventure. When you fish for Salmon, you will slow troll, one rod per angler. And when fishing for Halibut, you will drift and jig off the bottom, also using one rod per angler. This way, everyone will get to fish and have a chance of catching a nice dinner.

Once you return to the dock, your fish will be cleaned and filleted for dinner, and the rest can be beheaded and gutted. Capt. Mike will recommend a processing plant that can store your fish until you are ready to have it sent to your home address.

All charters include sightseeing and whale watching while fishing, all bait, and top-of-the-line rods and reels. We can arrage Pickup from cruise ship and return about $50.00 each way for up to 10 people, you will need to pay the cab.

Fishing Trip Turned Whale Watching Tour
Half Day trip Salmon only PM on May 27, 20264 adults

Didn’t catch any fish, but it is a little before the season. However, we saw a Humpback Whale and several Orcas. We got pretty close and got some great videos. Also got to see some eagles feeding, which was fun. Captain Terry and Dillon were great. Very personable and interesting to talk to. We had a great time.

Response from Captain

Great experience!
3/4 Day Trip – Salmon-Halibut on June 12, 20266 adults

The Halibut fishing was the most fun and exciting. The Salmon fishing was a bust, but it was a little too early in the season to expect much from that. Captain Mike and Landon were great. Feeding the eagles was a nice bonus to end the trip on.

Response from Captain

Thank you for chatering with Big Jim’s Charters on f/v Petrel, Captain Mike and crew, it was great catching Halibut, we had to travel almost 100 miles round trip but worth it, no fuel surcharge just bite the bullet and provide the best service we can
