We did the 3 hour evening trip, which was perfect for my family - including our 4 year old. Captain Forrest started by giving us a few options of what the trip could look like so we could tailor to what we thought would go best. We started with bottom fishing for mostly rockfish. Once we had enough for the weekend meals, we chose to checkout wildlife then troll for salmon. We got to see an eagle fishing right next to our boat - it was amazing! Captain also found sea otters and we saw a mom and baby. We caught rockfish, cod, and pollack, the kiddo “drove” the boat, and nobody got seasick. Forrest and deck mate Ben were professional and engaging. Wonderful day for a family with a little one!

We had an amazing fishing trip with Captain Forrester and Ben the deck hand. They were super nice and professional, and took us to some great spots where we caught all of our fish quota for rock fish and salmon. The boat was clean and comfortable, and they provided everything we needed. They also helped us with cleaning and filleting the fish. It was a memorable experience and we highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun and successful fishing adventure. I would definitely do it again!
“Wife approved”—- We had a great day out with the team. We had 3 couples. The women of the group had never done a charter before and aren’t big fishermen. Don’t let that stop you. The boat is new and clean. There was comfortable sitting space inside the cabin for the ride out plus anytime you wanted a break. There was also a bathroom onboard. The group caught fish quickly and consistently. The sites were also beautiful and we got to see a whale and some sea otters too. Highly recommend!
2 of the best days of our lives were fishing with Captain Forrest Luking. My buddy researched all the charters out of Homer. He knew exactly what we were looking for. Lucky for us- he picked the best! We had our limit very early the first day so Captain Forrest took us on the “Scenic tour” on the way back. We will always have great memories of this trip of a lifetime. Captain Forrest and deckhand Ben were 100% the best. Thank you for such a great trip!
We were fishing for Halibut, and Captain Forrest knew where they were. He and Ben were busy setting us up for success, keeping their eye on our poles while we took turns jigging. We caught our limit in about two hours, taking home 61.5 pounds of Halibut!! Both Captain Forrest and Ben were professional and courteous. There are 4 of us and we all highly recommend this fishing charter on the Black Pearl!
