    Coho salmon, whales and sea lions oh my

    Half Day Trip (flexible departure) - 9:00 AM • 4 adults

    What a fantastic trip! Communication was outstanding from the beginning, and the trip itself was outstanding plus, plus, PLUS! Captain Lee picked us up, took us to his adorable boat, and off we went on his last trip of the season. Since it was so late in the season, we honestly weren’t expecting to catch much of anything. We were just happy to be out on the water. Boy, were we wrong! We caught two Coho salmon AND saw whales and sea lions! Definitely not what we were expecting and such an amazing bonus! Captain Lee was friendly, accommodating, and just really enjoyable to spend the day with. He made the entire trip fun, relaxed, and memorable. Big thanks to Nicole as well for driving us back! If you’re headed to Juneau when fishing season starts up again, book a trip with Captain Lee. We had an absolutely wonderful time and would do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

    BOOK this Fishing Trip (whale watching included and seals included!)

    Half Day Trip (flexible departure) - 2:00 PM • 5 adults • 3 children

    You will not be disappointed when you choose to fish with Captain Lee and Nicole! There were six of us-two adults and four kiddos who all love to fish but this brought a whole new level to the love of fishing. We found multiple hot spots for bottom fishing (our preference as you can choose to do salmon trolling too) and caught huge Alaskan Cod and many different kinds of fish. This was an unforgettable experience for all of us, especially the kids. Along with some of the best fish we have ever caught, we got to see multiple large Humpback whales, seals, and eagles, so we got the experience of whale watching tours up close and personal. This is one you don’t want to pass up!

    Reported catch:
    Cod
    Rockfish

    Half Day Trip (flexible departure) - 9:00 AM • 5 adults

    Captain Lee, and first mate Nicole where amazing, happy, and enthusiastic. pickup/dropoff was smooth and easy to find, our group all agreed this was the best thing we did all week on our cruise. we caught 5 fat kings, 2 good pinks, and a rockfish. getting your catch home was smooth and easy, as they have a honest and transparent processor they use. The fast setup, cheerfulness, enthusiasm, and good luck made this a no brainer. if im ever in juneau in the future i will happily be a return customer. Thank you Lee and Nicole for the amazing trip!

    Spectacular!

    Half Day Trip (flexible departure) - 9:00 AM • 3 adults

    We had a group of 5, mixed ages. We all caught fish and had tons of fun doing it! We are not seasoned fishermen, so help and guidance from Captain and Crew was much appreciated! It was foggy, raining, and choppy out. Captain Lee navigated to perfection and found the fish hotspots for us. He and first mate were so nice and fun! They made our trip! Many thanks!!

    Reported catch:
    Cod
    Rockfish
