    Absolutely Wonderful Fishing Trip

    Full Day Trip – Group Rate Combo on June 25, 2026 • 4 adults

    Absolute gem of a captain, capable boat, fishing knowledge, awesome weather and calm seas. Plus... 10, maybe 11 Humpback whales cruised past our boat which excited our fishing trip guests from outside. A wonderful fishing trip with Captain Keith at the helm and with his skill and knowledge, we were able to catch our limit of halibut. Thank you and it was a pleasure to have you as our captain. We all enjoyed our time together and will definitely be fishing with you again soon. Highly recommended.

    Very Successful Fishing Charter

    Half day Group Rate-Halibut on June 12, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Keith was awesome! Very professional. He’s a retired airplane pilot and it shows. He was very prepared and organized. My wife and two boys (12 and 9) did the half-day Halibut trip. We traveled out about an hour and caught 3 halibut and 4 Pacific cods in under 2 hours. We fished with only two rods. That was all we needed. We kept it all and had it shipped home. 35 lbs of filets. He took care of the having it fileted. We shipped it home at Captain Jacks for about $400. We highly recommend Captain Keith!

    Excellent Day!

    Half Day AM Trip - Salmon on July 29, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Really knowing very little about ocean fishing, I was very impressed with Captain Keith’s management of our 1/2 day salmon fishing experience. He and his boat were ‘the real deal’, giving our grandsons a realistic introduction to the ruggedness of living and working in Alaska. Captain Keith made sure we were comfortable and warm while the weather outside was drizzly and gloomy, and took us out to where the boys had the invigorating and exciting experience of pulling in some delicious salmon. Back at the dock, Captain Keith showed us how to clean and fillet our catch. An experience we will always remember, our steak and burger boys are now hooked on fresh salmon!!

Made the most of a rainy day!
Half day Halibut on August 22, 2026 • 3 adults

Captain Keith was courteous and helpful for our half day halibut fishing excursion. Despite consistent rain and wind, we still managed to have a great time and caught a mix of Halibut, pacific and black cod, and had a great time! The Overtime III was a very comforable boat with a covered fishing platform and warm cabin with a full bathroom which was a bonus for a charter fishing boat!
