About

Long range what does this mean? “Long range fishing trips” is a term that gets abused in Alaska. Every charter business in Alaska says they do “long range fishing trips.” The charter offices sell trips, websites book trips, and word of mouth sells trips.

Most charter offices have 4 different options for a halibut trip, 1/2 day, 3/4 day, short range (less than 25 miles out 8 hours,) and long range halibut trips (more than 25 miles out 10-12 hours.)

We at Alaska Ocean Pros only offer real long range fishing trips. Don’t be fooled. There are around 25 boats in Homer, Alaska that do the over 25 mile long range halibut trips. There are only 2 boats in Homer, Alaska that do real 60-100 mile long range fishing trips. Alaska Ocean Professionals is known for what old timers call “Christopher Columbus fishing trips.”

Alaska Ocean Professionals goes fishing where other charter companies wish they could fish. We are invested in our reputation by having the most extreme fishing experiences.

There are a couple new charter guys that say they do trips just like Alaska Ocean Pros. It is not true. Captain Gabe and Captain Pono are self taught fishing captains that don’t copy cat other fishermen.

Alaska Ocean Pros fishes locations that may have never been fished by sport fishermen. Don’t be fooled. No one can say every trip is huge fish, everyone limits out, and no one gets sea sick, but guaranteed when you fish with Alaska Ocean Pros you will get and adventure provided by experienced crews that spend more than half the year on the ocean.

We appreciate you not telling people where you were fishing on this trip. These are secret spots that Alaska Ocean Pros has invested 1000’s of dollars in fuel to explore.
