This was the first time we fished for halibut.ย We booked an 8 hour charter.ย I was disappointed that the captain was late, but stuff happens.ย We have all been late to something before.ย It just kinda sucks, when you get up early and nudge the family along, pack and check out of the hotel.ย Arrive to the boat early, only to find that the crew is late.ย We left the harbor about two hours late.ย There are allot of boats out, it just gets you thinking that some of the better fishing spots may have been taken and the fish may be more active in the early morning.ย We stayed on the spit for a couple of days and some of charters bring their catch up near the Coal Point Trading Company for pictures and they had some very large halibuts.ย Starting late was the only issue.ย The crew was very friendly and knowledgeable.ย They baited the hooks with frozen herring, gaffed the halibut and brought it into the boat.ย I appreciated the effort in trying to land a large halibut and persistence in getting the limit.ย It was beautiful day, could not ask for better weather.ย Boat and equipment was in good condition. The crew was very nice and professional.ย Good experience!

Hello John, Thank you so much for fishing with us and we are very sorry about the situation with our captain being so late.ย At the time that our deckhand called us, to inform us that the captain was missing, we were VERY worried about his safety and thought something must have happened.ย This situation had never happened before, and after many attempts to contact him, we immediately had a neighboring friend do a welfare check on him, at his home.ย We sincerely apologize and want you to know how uncharacteristic that situation was.ย We try to control what we can control, and timeliness is the top priority on that list. We do hope that youโll give us another shot and we hope to see you again in the future.ย We value your time, and you can bank that it wonโt happen again.ย We hope you enjoy your Alaskan catch throughout this winter!ย Tight lines, Mindy Payne

Captain Kyle and Mate Noah were very professional and eager to help us catch fish. Anglers ranged from 13 to 80. All of us caught halibut. Noah had our catch cleaned and ready when we got to the return dock. We dined on fresh fish and shared great memories.
Thank you for the review Ken, we appreciate your business and your feedback. Have a great summer and enjoy your halibut fillets !!
They did a great job! Weโre going home happy with a full cooler.My familiesโ first ocean fishing trip and wanted to catch halibut. Captain and crew were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They coached and monitored our progess and made the trip a total success. First site was good until cod catches started. Relocated and caught 3 halibut in just a few minutes.
