No one in my family is an angler, but on our Alaska cruise I still wanted to fish. Capt. Terry had a taxi waiting for me right off the boat and at the pier to take us back. I learned that fishing takes some work, and technique that we were trying to figure out. The crew was there helping all 6 of us to figure it out, and letting us learn how to do it instead of just reeling in a fish they caught. It would have been nice to come home with more fish, but it is fishing after all, not catching. I absolutely loved my day on the water, and I would definitely go back and book another trip with Capt. Terry. Next time, I’ll just make sure to spend a few days.

We had a crew of 4 and were taken out by Captain John and deckhand Dylan for a half day salmon trip.
Captain John was there to greet us at the dock and was very friendly and welcoming. We went out on the 50/50 boat a 30’ which had plenty of room for fishing and warmth inside. We made it out to the fishing area within 15 minutes and had 4 rods in the water right away.
The fishing was a little slow as we saw other boats not bringing in fish either and whales had entered the fishing area. While it was amazing to see whales, they do not help fishing.
About halfway through the day my son hooked into a nice fish that was a great fight! He ended up landing a 30” King salmon, the biggest fish of his life! I caught a smaller chum salmon but was still fun to catch! My mother and father in law didn’t get a chance to fish as we had no other bites.
Dylan was working hard and being helpful to make the trip enjoyable and fun for everyone. He’s a good kid and his family should be proud. He even let my son try fresh salmon eggs and salmon heart which he loved!
Overall it was a great fishing trip and an experience that my son will never forget!
If we’re ever back in the area, I’ll definitely book another trip!
Thank you Captain John and Dylan!

We booked a 4-hour salmon charter at the end of May, and although the salmon hadn’t migrated to the Juneau area yet, Captain Terry was incredibly flexible, ensuring we still had a fantastic fishing experience. Sneak peek: we caught 15 fish, including Rockfish and a Halibut! Our trip with Captain Terry and his deckhand was not just about fishing; it was a four-in-one adventure. We went whale watching, saw hundreds of seals and sea lions, and ended with sightings of dozens of bald eagles. Despite having only one experienced fisher in our group, everyone caught fish and had a great time. If you’re visiting Juneau, whether on a cruise or a trip, this is an experience you can’t miss. You’ll have an incredible time with knowledgeable and friendly guides who know the area and its wildlife well. Thanks Captain Terry!
