The first trip our captain was more interested in whale watching than fishing. We finally caught 4 halibut after numerous entanglements because of the boat drifting back and forth.  We then spent 2 hours trolling for salmon but did not catch a one.  We went back with 4 halibut.  The next trip or captain was more of a fisherman.  We told him we wanted to catch some salmon so we spent 3 hours trolling but never caught a fish. We then decided to try for some more halibut. After 3 hours we finally caught 3 small halibut and one cod. We finally went back in with no salmon. Maybe the middle of June was the wrong time of year for salmon.  We had fun and Juneau is beautiful but we won’t be going back to Juneau for anymore fishing trips.  Homer and Seward are much better fishing destinations.

I visited Juneau with my father and wife, neither of whom are keen on swells or rocking boats but both love salmon, in July 2021.  Thankfully with cooperative weather Capt Jim and mate Gavin found us a fantastic calm spot where they knew we could get a King or two with just the right tide change coming up.  Within ten minutes we had our first king on the boat, and ended up bringing in half a dozen more salmon (mixed species).  From start (donuts and fresh coffee on arrival) to finish (cleaning and sending our catch go be packed and sent home in the lower 48 when we returned) a really stellar experience with a knowledgeable, professional, and personable crew who know their trade and really enjoyed catering the trip to our interests.  Would definitely do again and recommend.

We had an incredible morning with Captain Mike! 6 of us fished and all of us caught amazing fish! I expressed interest in seeing whales. I saw some in the distance but at the end of the trip, Captain Mike took us to an area where some had been spotted. An enormous humpback swam closer and closer to the boat. He came so close it was within feet! The whole trip was a 5 star trip!

Really had a super time with Captain and crewman. You can tell these guys really wanna try to get you on the fish. We caught 5 kinds of fish and had some really nice keepers. The process these guys use to send your fish back to your house is really simple. If you want an easy, fun and productive trip these are the guys to do it.

Captain Jim and crew were great, we pulled in a beautiful 82 lb halibut (fit in the release doughnut hole so we had to release it) and a few Sculpin.
