About This Adventure
Embark on an unforgettable all-day fishing adventure in the Gulf of Alaska aboard the FV/WANKER. Target halibut and three other species, including lingcod and rockfish, while enjoying the thrill of deep-sea fishing. Experience the beauty of the ocean as you travel 50-70 miles from shore, creating lasting memories.
**This charter is not recommended for children.
**If you have children under the age of 16 please contact the office for information on requirements before booking.
Long Range Multispecies - Halibut plus 3 other species (rockfish, lingcod, yelloweye, pacific cod, and salmon) This will be determined by the captain what other species will be targeting according to regulations and what species are running at the time of your trip.
Yelloweye, black rockfish, and lingcod are located in the deeper waters further out into the Gulf of Alaska. The FV/ WANKER allows us to reach those fishing grounds as long as weather permits. This trip requires us to travel 50-70 miles out. Be prepared to spend the entire day on the water, as this trip is an all-day excursion. Scheduled to leave the harbor at 7:00 am and arrive back between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm.
Lingcod season starts July 1st
The cost is $565 per person and will run for July and August only. Please keep in mind that we need at least 4 anglers scheduled for this trip in order to leave the harbor. We will do everything we can to ensure you get out and have the ultimate fishing experience! We have a microwave, coffee maker, and bathroom on board.
