Background
Fishing has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I've spent most of my life around boats and have over 26 years of experience on Alaskan waters. In addition to charter boats, I often operate larger vessels in the offseason. I spend a lot of time on the water. Salmon Sharks are probably my favorite Alaskan species because of their uniqueness, but I love the challenge of finding nice Halibut consistently as well as chasing all of the other fish species native to Alaska and elsewhere.
