The
Boat
Our fishing boat is a 24' Parker, proven durable and
capable in Alaskan waters. The cabin is warm, comfortable,
with a private marine toilet and easily seats groups
of 4 to 6 passengers. We take pride in our work and
our boat, so we keep it clean and well maintained.
The boat is equipped with a top of the line Furuno
GPS depth and fish finder; this allows us to quickly
access our favorite fishing locales. The boat is fast
and quiet, powered by a 250 hp 4-stroke Yamaha, she
easily cruises at speeds of 25 knots and faster. With
the safety of our guests always in mind, we have met
all of the current Coast Guard safety requirements.
Fishing
Tackle
When the fish are hitting, it can sometimes seem like
it doesn't matter what bait you use, they are going
to bite. However, these fish can be very temperamental
and no matter how hard you try, there are times when
they are going to elude you. This is why you want
to be confident that you are fishing with the right
bait and tackle. You do not want to leave it up to
chance and waste your valuable time. There can be
nothing more frustrating than using the wrong fishing
equipment.
In our opinion, one the most important pieces of equipment
to a fisherman's overall experience and success, is
using the right fishing rod and reel to get the job
done. This being the case, you don't want a meat stick
meant for horsing the fish to the boat. Having fished
in Alaska our whole lives, we understand what gear
works best and have equipped our boat with some of
the finest, time tested fishing gear that we know
of.
For
salmon, we use Cannon Downriggers, which are meant
to get your bait quickly and accurately down to the
depths the fish are at. Along with the downriggers
we use Shimano Talora medium to light weight rods,
Shimano Charter Specials, and 25 lb. test line.
When
bottom fishing for halibut we use 80 lb. test Power
Pro line and Penn 330 GTI's along with Shakespeare
Tidewater fishing rods. The gear is limber so you
can feel the power behind these wild Alaskan fish,
yet strong enough so you can get the lunkers to the
boat without any unnecessary hang-ups.
We
have all the baits, lures, and terminal tackle necessary
to maximize your efficiency on the water. Get ready
