Fish Galore!

Shared GAF Halibut Mutli Species2 adults

First fishing experience out of Homer didn’t disappoint. On the fish right away with multiple poles down as soon as the boat stopped and everyone hit their quotas on multiple species. Marcus and Riley were excellent on the boat. Very well prepared, super helpful and extremely patient.

    Best fishing experience!

    8 Hour Trip – Halibut/Rockfish • 2 adults

    My review: This was the best fishing i have ever done in Alaska! I have been on 3 different charters before and only caught one small halibut, but this time we decided to go with Captain Marcus, and we all had full bags of fish with our limit. Thank you Captain for unforgettable experience! I am happy, wife is happy. If in the next summer we still be here in Alaska, we will only go with CPT Marcus and his Black Pearl! My wife’s review after her very first fishing trip: My husband and I went fishing yesterday, and we had the best time! Capt Marcus and his first mate were so friendly, fun, and easy to be around. It was my very first fishing trip, and Capt Marcus made it unforgettable. I didn’t expect to love fishing this much! Honestly, I was ready to go again with the same crew the next day! Thank you for such an amazing experience, great memories, and such a fun atmosphere on the boat. We truly appreciated it! If you’re ever in Homer - Capt Marcus should be your captain! 🎣

    Amazing Trip!!

    8hr Private trip- Halibut/Salmon • 2 adults

    Such a great trip!! My Wife Morgan and I booked a last minute trip with Forrest’s Homer Fishing Adventures for our stay in Alaska. We were accompanied by Ben and Ethan. What a breath of fresh air these two young fishermen were from previous tropical charters! Great conversation and they knew the waters! They put us on the Hallibut right away! We had our limit of over and unders before 9 am and were off for kings. Ended up catching our limit of those and a bonus cod. I can’t recommend this charter service enough!!

    Had an Awesome time!

    8 Hour Trip – Halibut/Salmon • 2 adults

    Capt. Marcus was awesome and know where to go and how to get us on the fish. Within the 1st 10 minutes of fishing I caught the biggest Halibut and checked it off my bucket list. We caught 13 or 14 halibut can't remember exactly because we were having so much fun. We were doubled up multiple times and limited out on our Halibut and Rock fish also caught some bonus cod and lost a king. Highly recommend!!!

    Response from Captain

    Thanks so much for fishing with us!

    By far the best charter I've taken!

    8 Hour Trip – Halibut/Rockfish • 3 adults

    This charter was top notch! Captain Marcus and deck hand Riley did a great job. The boat and equipment were great. You could tell Captain Marcus loves what he is doing. He is easy to make conversation with and enthusiastic about putting you on fish and making your overall experience fantastic. I will be booking this charter again. Marcus is super professional and made our trip an unforgetable memory

    Great taste of Homer, AK fishing

    8hr Private trip- Halibut/Salmon • 5 adults

    Captain Marcus and Lars provided a first class experience in a short period of time for me and my family. We ended the day with our near daily limit of halibut and plenty of other fish caught along the way. We didn’t end up with any salmon in our 8 hour combo fishing trip, but not for lack of trying. Would definitely go out again if we were back in Homer. Thanks for a great trip.
