It’s time to plan your next fishing trip, and head over to Whittier for a day with Captain Jody and the Alaskan 4 Star Charters. Capt. Jody has been fishing in this area for 5 decades! It’s safe to say he’ll take you to the best spots where he knows the bite to be good regularly.

These trips are good for 6 people on the 35’ Epic aluminum boat. There is plenty of shelter from the elements on board. The boat has twin engines that will get you far out to the fishing grounds faster than other boats.

The trips are 11 hours long as the ride to the fishing grounds will take a minimum of 2 hours. Children of all ages are welcome – your captain and crew love having little ones aboard! The captain suggests adding some Black Bass fishing to the trip to keep it interesting for the kids.

You’ll be able to target Coho, Chum, Sockeye, Pink, and Chinook Salmon, as well as Halibut, Lingcod, Seabass, Rockfish, and more. The Salmon can put up a good fight and are delicious to eat. Halibut can grow to huge lengths and are also prized at the dinner table. The captain will advise what you can keep and which should be released.

You’ll need to bring plenty of layers with you – you can always take off layers but you can’t put on what you don’t have! Wear light-soled shoes and have a rain jacket with you. You’ll need to bring a fishing license along – it’s best to buy this before the trip to not eat into your fishing time. One small cooler of food and drink can be bought along, but please be aware there is limited space on board.

After the trip, the captain will direct you to the best places to have your fish vacuum packed and sent home.

Book a trip with Alaskan 4 Star Charters today for a great day out on the water – time to tick off an epic fishing trip from your bucket list!
