About
A typical day would include combination fishing of halibut/rockfish with salmon/ling cod fishing additionally available in July and August. Full day trip takes advantage of the great multi-species fishing found out of Seward, providing both light and heavy tackle to maximize the action. As the only group on the boat you call the shots whether you would prefer hunting for big halibut or spending more time on mooching salmon or jigging for rockfish and lings. We invest in high-quality equipment from the custom designed boats to the top notch tackle sure to impress experienced anglers. Often our groups want to spend time whale watching and other wildlife sightings that are abundant along the way. For those want to focus on sightseeing including tidewater glaciers found in Kenai Fjords National Park is a great option with ability to spend a shorter time fishing often just to catch dinner.
