Booty Call drops off the dock into Alaska’s cold, blue coastal waters for an eight-hour chase of halibut and salmon. On this shared charter led by Captain Jordan, up to six anglers of any age board for a hands-on, gear-included day that favors people who want steady action and a chance to bring home fresh fillets. The location: Alaska’s coastal waters — productive continental-shelf flats and deep glacial channels where halibut rest and salmon run.
The day begins early; the crew rigs rods, checks sounders, and runs lines to known bite zones. Captain Jordan chooses the route based on tides, weather, and fish movement, offering a multispecies approach: halibut is the primary target and salmon or a third species becomes the captain’s choice depending on conditions. All fishing gear is provided, which makes this a good option for first-timers and families. Guests should bring a valid Alaska fishing license, durable snacks, and a soft cooler for the catch.
What makes this trip stand out is the combination of small-group attention and local expertise. With six or fewer guests, the crew can coach casting, netting, and safe fish handling; that personal instruction turns a long day at sea into rapid learning. The fishing grounds themselves are defining features: wide continental-shelf flats that drop into deeper channels and glacially carved inlet mouths. Those underwater contours concentrate bait and predators, producing that satisfying rod-bending strike everyone remembers.
There’s also a practical economy to the outing. The full eight-hour envelope gives time to move between productive spots, try bottom-bouncing for halibut, and switch to salmon tactics when the captain spots a run. Expect periods of downtime between strikes, salty wind on the face, and then sudden resistance as a halibut takes the bait. Fish handling and basic filleting are often part of the post-trip routine; ask the crew what’s included.
For travelers weighing options, this charter is especially friendly for mixed-ability groups, anglers bringing kids, or visitors who prefer a guided, gear-ready format. It also ties into Alaska’s broader maritime culture: commercial and subsistence fishing shaped coastal communities for generations, and these day charters are a direct way to engage with that living tradition while respecting regulations and size limits.
Bookers should confirm current licensing requirements, sea conditions, and any included services before boarding. With Captain Jordan at the helm, Booty Call converts open-water potential into a productive, education-forward day on the North Pacific. Bring layered clothing, a camera with a fast shutter for splashes and wind, and a willingness to learn: the payoffs are measured in fresh filets, stories about the sea, and the quiet satisfaction of reading the water like a pro. Reserve early during peak season to secure a spot today.

Big Butt Charters is a licensed Alaskan charter operator specializing in full-day (8-hour) fishing experiences that target halibut, salmon, and rockfish. Capt. Jordan leads a fleet of well-maintained boats and brings local knowledge of seasonal bite patterns, structure, and prime fishing grounds to each trip.

Private halibut charters specifically note post-trip catch cleaning for guests, so fish can be taken home or packaged for transport.

Guests are reminded to bring a valid fishing license, food, and beverages for an active day on the water. Big Butt Charters is positioned for anglers seeking an efficient, high-value day fishing in Alaska: straightforward booking, predictable 8-hour itineraries, multiple species targets, and experienced skippers who focus on putting anglers on fish.
