Captain Terry stayed in communication, arrived timely, was very knowledgeable of the area and even provided refreshments that we enjoyed! Deck hand Owen was a fantastic young man! We are novice fishers and he made sure we were well cared for the entire trip! Owen was extremely hardworking and respectful.  Owen is a Juneau Derby Scholarship recipient which was quite impressive! When we arrived without fishing licenses and they quickly walked us through the entire process to get one on line without making a big deal of our oversight. All three of us caught large salmon which Owen promptly prepped for shipping home and Captain Terry handled everything else to get them shipped home. We got a bonus whale watching opportunity when 3 large hump back whales gently emerged causally gliding by boat closer than any whale watching tours that we have done and we have done numerous over the years. Other than the typical Juneau rain drizzle the trip was perfect! Highly recommend Captain Terry and Deckhand Owen!

No one in my family is an angler, but on our Alaska cruise I still wanted to fish. Capt. Terry had a taxi waiting for me right off the boat and at the pier to take us back. I learned that fishing takes some work, and technique that we were trying to figure out. The crew was there helping all 6 of us to figure it out, and letting us learn how to do it instead of just reeling in a fish they caught. It would have been nice to come home with more fish, but it is fishing after all, not catching. I absolutely loved my day on the water, and I would definitely go back and book another trip with Capt. Terry. Next time, I’ll just make sure to spend a few days.

We had an excellent fishing trip in Juneau with Captain Terry and Owen.  They were very knowledgeable, professional, and very helpful in helping us to enjoy our fishing excursion. If you’re a family of five with three young boys who are still talking about their fishing trip today. They each caught fish, which we are having shipped home, but we also got an amazing whale watch out of the trip. We had an overall amazing experience and highly recommended to everyone looking to fish in Juneau.

We had a crew of 4 and were taken out by Captain John and deckhand Dylan for a half day salmon trip.
Captain John was there to greet us at the dock and was very friendly and welcoming. We went out on the 50/50 boat a 30’ which had plenty of room for fishing and warmth inside. We made it out to the fishing area within 15 minutes and had 4 rods in the water right away.
The fishing was a little slow as we saw other boats not bringing in fish either and whales had entered the fishing area. While it was amazing to see whales, they do not help fishing.
About halfway through the day my son hooked into a nice fish that was a great fight! He ended up landing a 30” King salmon, the biggest fish of his life! I caught a smaller chum salmon but was still fun to catch! My mother and father in law didn’t get a chance to fish as we had no other bites.
Dylan was working hard and being helpful to make the trip enjoyable and fun for everyone. He’s a good kid and his family should be proud. He even let my son try fresh salmon eggs and salmon heart which he loved!
Overall it was a great fishing trip and an experience that my son will never forget!
If we’re ever back in the area, I’ll definitely book another trip!
Thank you Captain John and Dylan!

The fishing was great and the boat hands were very experienced.  I tried to contact the captain twice (a few months before the trip, and about 10 days before the trip) and got no response.  He did contact me the day before and asked if I needed transfer to and from the harbor.  I had already set up transportation because he had not contacted me when I tried to get ahold of him before.  In addition we did not go out on the Dano which is advertised but a smaller boat that only 5 of us were able to fish at a time, not all 6.  The fishing was good and we all caught halibut.  I would not book this again due to the lack of response from the captain and no notification that we would be going on a different boat than advertised.
