- Background
- I spent much of my childhood outdoors – camping, hunting, fishing, and boating. I have enjoyed that outdoor life with many adventures continuing old family traditions and starting some new ones, too. No matter where I was living, I always came back to the water. I’ve been fortunate enough to fish all over the US, including high mountain lakes and streams of the Rocky Mountains and both coasts, as well as in Mexico and the Caribbean. I enjoyed many wonderful charters – and endured a few less-than-wonderful ones, learning much along the way. But it was having my son, Cody, and introducing him to the outdoors, and fishing in particular, that drew me to the idea of running my own charter fishing business. He has grown up loving fishing, especially in Florida and Alaska. And watching his eyes light up as he drops the perfect cast in front of a tailing Redfish, or struggles and then finally lands that Halibut that weighs more than he does, I’ve learned that helping others discover the joy of fishing a wild coast, wherever that coast may be, is the most rewarding. It was time to turn my passion for fishing and sharing that with others from a hobby into something more. Alaska is known by many names – The Land of the Midnight Sun, The Last Frontier, and The Land of Promise. For me, it is also known as home. Like so many before me, my adventures in Alaska began years ago, but with each trip, whether on a remote float down the Kwethluk River, chartering a boat in Ketchikan, or the many adventures on the Kenai Peninsula, I fell in love with the cold, clear water and the beautiful mountains of Alaska. I would love to share Alaska with you and your family. Join me aboard the Fiskr Valhalla and at the Beach House, and discover what joys the wild coast of Alaska holds for you…
- Techniques
- Halibut - Jigging or bait whether on anchor behind a chum bag or drifting over structure Salmon - Trolling artificial or natural baits with downriggers Rockfish - Jigging pinnacles and rock piles for monster yellow eye Lingcod - Jigging pinnacles for sea dragons is as good as it gets
