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.

excellent experience
Full Day Trip – Halibut/Combo on July 7, 2026 • 4 adults
We went on two fishing trips. First day was halibut with Chris and Ryan. They knew exactly where to go and worked so hard to make sure everything was perfect. My son caught a 134 pound halibut and grandson caught a 78 pound halibut. The rest of us caught large fish, too. The second day was with Rob and Vincent and they were just as excellent. We fished for cod and rockfish. The captain and deck hand work VERY hard to make sure you get your limit, catch fish, and have fun. The boat was very comfortable and roomy so that we were spread out when fishing. This is a top notch outfit, who work hard to ensure you have a great trip, know what they are doing, and where to go.

paid for salmon trip but went pacific cod fishing
Full Day Trip – Salmon on June 30, 2026 • 4 adults
Overall, the trip was fantastic! We paid for 8 hours, but we ended up spending 12 hours on the water fishing, making it extra special. The captain was lively and positive, which added to the great atmosphere. The inside of the boat looked a bit old, but it served its purpose perfectly. The seats were a little hard, but it didn’t take away from the fun. I’d definitely love to go again, though next time I will skip fishing for rockfish in 1000’ of water—it really wore me out reeling in all that line for just one catch! My family had a great time too, and we’re looking forward to seeing everyone again soon. Thanks for an amazing adventure!

Great Trip
Full Day Trip – Salmon on July 8, 2026 • 5 adults
Even do fishing was slow, the trip was great. A clean nice boat just right for a smaller group up to 6 people. Captain Rob and his deck hand Vince were absolutely great. Verry attentive, professional and first of all great friendly people. This is our second trip with this company and will be back soon. I highly recommend this outfit they went far and beyond to make sure everyone on board got Fish.

Full Day Trip – Halibut/Combo on June 15, 2026 • 3 adults
We had a great trip yesterday with Captains Rob and Chris, saw humpback whales, a pod of orcas, porpoise's, sea otters, and we all caught a decent halibut. The crew was fantastic and the weather was great. Misty in the am but turned sunny. Wow, what views.
