Capt. Jeff runs trips out of the Kodiak area aboard a 26' Osprey pilothouse. We target Halibut, Salmon, Lingcod, Yellow eye, Rockfish and Cod. we primarily jig for our catches if conditions allow, which means a fishing rod in your hand and set your own hooks, it's tremendously fun and easy to master! With extensive knowledge of the area, 25 years of operating fishing boats in Alaska, i have a trick or two up my sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join me out on the water!

September

Sep 11, 2023 • Kodiak
September brings a season of change with cooler temps and salmon inland migration, our ocean salmon catch is chinook and coho, with a multitude of lingcod halibut and rockfish. September consistently is the best month for a trophy lingcod halibut and yelloweye. The reason being, I’ve spent the entire summer zeroing in on their locations. By the end of September the season has concluded and we have caught all the fish for the year!

August

Aug 10, 2023 • Kodiak
August brings the greatest variety of salmon species with all 5 caught daily for the first couple weeks! Weather is generally the best of the season. The highlight of august is the availability of trophy size fish! Each year we consistently catch several trophy size lingcod halibut and yelloweye throughout august.

July

Jul 15, 2023 • Kodiak
July welcomes Lingcod retention and we are the premier charter for this species. We limited 97% of our trips when lingcod were a focal point in the past 6 years. July is quite a variety as the season progresses, we regularly limit on salmon and halibut, add lingcod to the catch and often deck load on pacific cod and rockfish. By the end of July, we are typically seeing quite a few coho salmon in the catch and often switch tactics to maximize the opportunity.

June

Jun 1, 2023 • Kodiak
Our typical June is focused on chinook salmon and halibut, with rockfish and pacific cod filling out the lineup daily. June is historically the month that offers kodiak anglers the best chance at a 50+# chinook salmon migrating thru the area. As the month progresses, the chances of sockeye salmon increases, with the last week of June having regular encounters.
