My husband has dreamed of halibut fishing in Alaska for as long as I have known him. After surviving cancer this past few months I decided we should book a trip and get a check mark next to a bucket list item. The day was supposed to be about him but the 13 people on the boat quickly became friends as the crew is very welcoming and relaxed. It was about an hour ride to get out to the fishing area. The weather was spectacular, about 60-65 degrees with clear skies and calm waters. This isnโt typical but we were extremely happy with the weather. My husband caught a 60 pound halibut, and the crew and my husband helped me catch a 98 pound halibut. IT WAS HARD WORK!!! The crew was attentive the entire trip. Noah was so excited when the halibut got on board someone filmed him. He truly loves fishing ๐ฃ. It was a phenomenal experience and we took home 111 pounds of fish!
Some items that should be considered when booking your trip:
1) Call Captain Jacks to understand the cost of shipping, packaging and freezing/holding your fish ๐
2) Tips are not mandatory but always appreciated. A customary tipping range is somewhere between 5-25% (unlimited to your hearts content, based on your experience).
3) Be o time for the departure, the sooner you all get checked in the better!ย
4) Make sure to bring snacks and food for the day. I learned itโs smart to buy beer ๐บ the night before as Alaska doesnโt sell beer until 10 am.
I would recommend this trip, this crew, and Seward. The surrounding area adds to the beauty of the trip.
