Glad you liked the trip . About the deck hand Very few six passenger boats in AK use a deck hand this is for various reasons one is because the profit margins on a small charter boat are not good enough to cover a deck hand . Two unless a deck wants to work and really know what they are doing they just get in the way . If you want a deck hand you need to get on one of the larger boat carrying 10 to 20 people.
Captain did not provide water or anything to drink.ย Read carefully what you get and what you will be fishing for.ย Was not a multi species ttip
Sorry you didnโt have a good day and you are correct you should read things thoroughly when you buy something if you had you would have read the part where it says coffee is provided and to bring what ever you want to eat and drink. I donโt remember off hand but Iโm pretty sure it says halibut and salmon or rock fish and I think thatโs what we did halibut and salmon looks like multi species to me
Came to the dock was informed a huge storm was forecasted and we would be stuck in the bay. Captain Kieth was kind enough to keep going based on seeing good weather. We limited out on reasonably good sized halibut which were biting all day at the captains secret cove. Highly recommend captain kieth for his experience, his helpful demeanor and his willingness to make sure that we caught what we came for.
Thanks for the review guys good luck on the river and enjoy that halibut when you get home.
