A Typical Fishing Day:

Meet the boat at the Homer Harbor at 7:00 a.m. The trip to the fishing ground varies with the type of fish you are going after, but generally takes about an hour's ride. It is not uncommon to see whales, otters, seals and other wildlife on the ride out. The scenery is awesome, to say the least.

As Alaskan weather is subject to change, it is a good idea to layer up with warm clothes and rain gear, along with rubber boots. Small boat bags are a good idea, as you can carry your camera, extra clothes, and such. In the Gulf waters, you can expect some groundswells (this surging is usually what gives people a queasy feeling. If you do have a tendency to get sick, start your treatment the night before. (Dramamine, patches, etc.)

Soft drinks, water, snacks, and lunch, will be provided on the boat. All fishing gear is top of the line, and provided for you. We have electric reels available, but if you feel the need for some real exercise, we also have hand-crank reels onboard. Most often you can expect to be cranking fish up from 100 to 400 feet.

On the day trips, your fish are filleted and ready to be vacuum packed. Your captain can advise you about places that pack them and ship them. You should be back at the docks between 4:00 or 5:00 p.m.

We only take 6 people at a time on the boats, so if there are 6 people in your party, you will have the whole boat. If not, we will fill the boat with other people, unless you want to book the whole boat for your group. That way, the captain can customize the trip for your group.

We want this to be the best fishing experience of your life, and we will do all that we can to make it that.

Overnight Trips

Meet the boat at your scheduled time, depending on your flight arrival. If it is too late for the 7:00 a.m. time, we will pick you up at the airport and provide you with lodging until the next day. Once you are on the boat that will be your home for the next several days. We only take 6 people at a time. If your group is smaller than 6 people, we will fill the boat with other guests, unless you have booked the whole boat.

The nights will be spent in secluded coves where you can fish all night, if you'd like. The days will be spent going to some of the most spectacular fishing areas in the Gulf of Alaska. Your wish will be our command.

Rain gear and rubber boots are a good idea, as the weather in Alaska is subject to change. Duffel bags with your gear are best, as they are easy to stow. All tackle, bait, and equipment are provided. Your fish will be filleted, vacuum packed, frozen, and ready for shipping.

You will be returned to the harbor on the day of your departure and delivered to the airport, or lodging will be available, if necessary, until your flight. We want your vacation to be worry-free.
