Wild Coast Alaska – Charter Fishing 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re looking for a fishing charter in Homer, stop searching and book with Karl. This trip exceeded our expectations in every possible way. From the moment we stepped aboard, Karl and his first mate, Cody, were the perfect combination of professionalism and personality. They worked incredibly hard to keep us on fish while making the entire day relaxed, fun, and enjoyable. Cody is knowledgeable, hardworking, and a tremendous asset to the operation. The fishing was phenomenal. We limited out on halibut, yelloweye, and black rockfish, and also caught lingcod, cod, pink salmon, and silver salmon. The variety of species and the quality of the fish were beyond what we had hoped for. We came home with an incredible haul, unforgettable memories, and stories we’ll be telling for years—especially watching Karl expertly dispatch our halibut! What really sets this charter apart is that Karl genuinely cares about giving his clients the best experience possible. He goes the extra mile, shares his knowledge, keeps the atmosphere light and fun, and clearly takes pride in what he does. The ride back to the harbor gave us another appreciation for Cody’s skills. Watching him expertly fillet fish on a moving boat was impressive—he has the sea legs and confidence of a seasoned fisherman. By the time we docked, our group of five was heading home with an incredible 192 pounds of beautifully processed fish, a testament to the hard work and efficiency of the crew. We’ve already decided this is our charter in Homer. We’ll be recommending Karl to every friend and family member who makes the trip to Alaska, and we won’t fish with anyone else when we come back. Thanks again, Karl and Cody, for an unforgettable day. We can’t wait to do it again!

My wife, son, and I had a great time on the Berserker. We caught our limit of halibut, then switched over to Pacific Cod. Our group didn't catch any massive halibut, but for 3 of us,we still ended up with almost 100lbs of fish by the time Cody was done cleaning them! I'd say the cod were almost more fun to catch as it was just one after another until we had 4-5 per person. We had 4 on at a time at one point. My son also caught a lingcod which was able to be kept so he was pretty excited about that since the season opened the day before and it was above minimum size. The boat was comfortable and handled the big water well. Cody was great on the deck and kept things clean and safe. Captain knew the spots to find fish, had to sort through some smaller ones to catch our over 27" fish. We did the Halibut + Captain's choice trip, so we probably kept some smaller fish than we would have otherwise due to time constraints. I would have no hesitation to recommend Wild Coast Alaska to anyone!

Catain Karl and Deckhand Cody run a great outfit, and we were very happy with our day. They were clear on their communications ahead of time, listened to our goals, and most importantly got us on some fish! We limited out on halibut, rockfish, and cod, with 30 total kept fish between the 4 of us. We had a mixture of angling experience onboard, but they did a great job of seeing our tackle for success and providing clear instructions on the best way to catch each type and the regulations with each one. Everyone in our group left having a great time and I would recommend them to anyone!

Captain Karl and Cody make sure everyone stayed very safe on a windy day. He didn’t take us out to rough. Waters and Cody made sure we had enough chum to catch fish when we was anchored in place at the safety of the cove. Even when one of the passenger accidentally dropped a rod over the side of the boat they kept their composure the whole time. Everybody on the boat caught their limit of halibut, and we even got some cod and had an enjoyable day on the water and some throwbacks.

Captain made an awesome day out of tough weather day. we caught lots and lots of fish due to his extra efforts. highly recommend him for charters for anyone looking for a fun safe time on a comfortable boat. it was very cold and rainy but we were comfortable the whole time. first mate cleaned all of the fish on the way in so when we docked we were able to walk away. mate was on top of things and always had everything ready. again highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun time.

We had a once in a lifetime experience with Captain Karl and Deckhand Cody. On Thursday, the weather was against us and projected to get worse but we still limited out on Halibut and got a bunch of Cod in the boat. Day 2, the weather was better. We limited out on Rock Fish, Yellow Eye, Halibut, and got a couple Ling Cod and more cod in the boat. All in all, a wonderful experience. 5 stars is NOT enough. Thank you Karl and Cody for a WONDERFUL experience

Captain Karl and Cody were awesome! Captain Karl knew all the good spots, everywhere we went to we had action on the poles. Cody was very helpful as well, helping everyone get the fish on board. Was a very fun experience and would go through Karl and Cody again! We caught our limit with ease, catching massive Hailbot, rockfish, and some nice Yellow Eye.

The captain was great taking us to places with lots of fish, Cody the deckhand was quick to help bring in fish. He also did a great job filleting all the fish. Our group of six caught 12 Rock Fish (limit for each person), 18 Salmon (lots of pink, a couple silver, and 1-2 chum), and 32 cod. We only stopped because everyone's arms got so tired!

capt Karl and Cody were excellent! on a day where 90% of the other boats cancelled, we took a chance and found a protective area that produced our limit of halibut and 8 salmon including kings and large silvers. Capt Karl was very concerned about our well being at first, but the 4 of us were very happy we all decided on going out.

Capt Karl and his son Cody did a great job finding great spots for our group to catch fish. It was rainy and choppy, but we still had a great time. I will use them again next year when my family comes to visit. Thanks again Capt Karl and Cody for your hospitality:) -Omega K-
