Wild Coast Alaska – Charter Fishing 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re looking for a fishing charter in Homer, stop searching and book with Karl. This trip exceeded our expectations in every possible way. From the moment we stepped aboard, Karl and his first mate, Cody, were the perfect combination of professionalism and personality. They worked incredibly hard to keep us on fish while making the entire day relaxed, fun, and enjoyable. Cody is knowledgeable, hardworking, and a tremendous asset to the operation. The fishing was phenomenal. We limited out on halibut, yelloweye, and black rockfish, and also caught lingcod, cod, pink salmon, and silver salmon. The variety of species and the quality of the fish were beyond what we had hoped for. We came home with an incredible haul, unforgettable memories, and stories we’ll be telling for years—especially watching Karl expertly dispatch our halibut! What really sets this charter apart is that Karl genuinely cares about giving his clients the best experience possible. He goes the extra mile, shares his knowledge, keeps the atmosphere light and fun, and clearly takes pride in what he does. The ride back to the harbor gave us another appreciation for Cody’s skills. Watching him expertly fillet fish on a moving boat was impressive—he has the sea legs and confidence of a seasoned fisherman. By the time we docked, our group of five was heading home with an incredible 192 pounds of beautifully processed fish, a testament to the hard work and efficiency of the crew. We’ve already decided this is our charter in Homer. We’ll be recommending Karl to every friend and family member who makes the trip to Alaska, and we won’t fish with anyone else when we come back. Thanks again, Karl and Cody, for an unforgettable day. We can’t wait to do it again!

My wife, son, and I had a great time on the Berserker. We caught our limit of halibut, then switched over to Pacific Cod. Our group didn't catch any massive halibut, but for 3 of us,we still ended up with almost 100lbs of fish by the time Cody was done cleaning them! I'd say the cod were almost more fun to catch as it was just one after another until we had 4-5 per person. We had 4 on at a time at one point. My son also caught a lingcod which was able to be kept so he was pretty excited about that since the season opened the day before and it was above minimum size. The boat was comfortable and handled the big water well. Cody was great on the deck and kept things clean and safe. Captain knew the spots to find fish, had to sort through some smaller ones to catch our over 27" fish. We did the Halibut + Captain's choice trip, so we probably kept some smaller fish than we would have otherwise due to time constraints. I would have no hesitation to recommend Wild Coast Alaska to anyone!

Catain Karl and Deckhand Cody run a great outfit, and we were very happy with our day. They were clear on their communications ahead of time, listened to our goals, and most importantly got us on some fish! We limited out on halibut, rockfish, and cod, with 30 total kept fish between the 4 of us. We had a mixture of angling experience onboard, but they did a great job of seeing our tackle for success and providing clear instructions on the best way to catch each type and the regulations with each one. Everyone in our group left having a great time and I would recommend them to anyone!

Cpt Karl got us on Halibut the first stop, caught 2 on the first cast, too small to keep. No keepers on that stop but we did catch some Cod. As soon as the action was over, we moved to the next spot. Caught several Halibut but all returned to the water, too small, caught several Cod. Again moving to the next hot spot, caught several Halibut and keep 2 average size, and more Cod. Moving on to the next spot caught the final 2 larger Halibut and several more Cod. Off to troll for Salmon, caught 1 King and 1 Pink and 2 Rock Fish. By the end of the 8 hour trip my brother and I caught 13 Cod, 4 Halibut, 2 Rock Fish, 1 King and 1 Pink. What a great day, Cpt Karl worked his butt off keeping us on fish and making for a great trip.

capt Karl and Cody were excellent! on a day where 90% of the other boats cancelled, we took a chance and found a protective area that produced our limit of halibut and 8 salmon including kings and large silvers. Capt Karl was very concerned about our well being at first, but the 4 of us were very happy we all decided on going out.
