Josh Sirmans5.0VerifiedBest Halibut Fishing!
Half Day Trip – Halibut (PM) • 3 adultsWe had such an awesome and successful halibut fishing experience with Captain Jon and Landon! We chose an afternoon half day trip since our cruise ship didn’t dock until 9 am, and most morning/full day trips started at 8 am. Captain Jon took us to a great spot in Auke Bay, and as soon as we cast our lines, everyone on our boat immediately hooked on halibut, which kept happening every cast until we caught our keepers. With time left on the charter, we moved spots and started fishing for rockfish. In addition to fishing, Captain Joh stopped for us to see some local sea lions and humpback whales, which were on our route to our second fishing spot and back to the dock. The water was also relatively calm in the bay. My wife is prone to motion sickness even in the calmest of water, but didn’t have any issues. Overall an awesome experience and would definitely book this trip again in the future!

Jon Morin5.0VerifiedIncredible trip
Half day Salmon • 2 adultsWe had an incredible time. The crew was amazing, just incredible. We would definitely some back and do this again. Can’t say enough good things AND we caught fish too. This trip was great for anyone- family, couples, single person. We saw eagles and seals and fish! weather was great and we felt safe and comfortable. Snacks were provided and good company. We would highly recommend them to any tourist, resident or other. fish fish fish fish fish fish fish fish We had an incredible time. The crew was amazing, just incredible.

Eddie Woods5.0VerifiedGreat experience all around
Half Day Trip – Halibut AM) • 4 adultsWe have chartered fished in Florida, Lake Erie, Cabo and a couple other places over the years. This Alaska fishing trip was BY FAR our best experience. The communication from the day I made the reservation until the trip was completed was first class. Our captain was amazing. We got our limit of Halibut within the 1st hour. With our extra time we saw whales, seals, harbor porpoises and eagles. We also picked up 7 Rockfish. I highly recommend Fishing Booker

What's biting with Big Jim’s Charters in Juneau
Halibut and Lingcod are still biting hard in October, and it's your last real chance to catch them before the charter season ends. Head out quick and bag yourself some delicious fish for the winter.
