Alaskan Widespread Fishing Adventures
Mindy and Reubin Payne are long-time professional guides on the Kenai Peninsula. Mindy's father is a long-time guide in Alaska, so Mindy grew up in the business, bought her first boat, and started guiding at 22 years old.
Reubin hitchhiked to Alaska as a college student 29 years ago and fell in love with the great state and the fishing opportunities! He guided for an upscale lodge on the Cook Inlet where he learned the fishery, the business, and the community. He started his own business in 2001 after 9 years of living and guiding on the Kenai Peninsula. Now after guiding Alaska for over 25 years, he still loves to fish!
Mindy, Reubin, and their Alaskan Widespread Fishing Adventures professional captains offer exciting full-day trips for Salmon, Rockfish, Lingcod, and Halibut on the Cook Inlet. You will be fishing aboard their 32' Koffler boat, fresh on the water in 2010. This spacious vessel can cruise at a top speed of 45 knots thanks to its twin 250 Suzuki engines. There is plenty of room aboard for up to 6 anglers to fish in comfort and style.
The boat is outfitted with modern navigational and fish-finding electronics to build up a clear image of where the fish are hiding. There is also an ice-box to keep the catch fresh during the day.
All trips with Alaskan Widespread Fishing Adventures come inclusive with gear, tackle, bait, lures, and fly fishing equipment if needed. Your fish will also be cleaned by the crew at the end of your adventure. The only thing that is missing is you!

Daniel Hurst5.0VerifiedBest Fishing Experience!
Halibut Charter-- 6 Pack Boat on May 8, 2026 • 1 adult5 stars all day long. Captain Kyle and the entire crew were awesome from start to finish. Everybody was knowledgeable, worked hard, and put us right on the fish. I limited out on halibut and brought in a handful of cod too. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip or better people to spend the day with. If I make it back to Alaska, I’ll absolutely be booking with them again!

Halibut Charter-- 6 Pack Boat on June 17, 2024 • 4 adultsThey did a great job! We're going home happy with a full cooler.My families' first ocean fishing trip and wanted to catch halibut. Captain and crew were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They coached and monitored our progess and made the trip a total success. First site was good until cod catches started. Relocated and caught 3 halibut in just a few minutes.
Paola Concepcion5.0VerifiedAwesome experience!!

Halibut Charter-- 6 Pack Boat on August 2, 2025 • 2 adultsCaptain Kyle and Mate Noah were very professional and eager to help us catch fish. Anglers ranged from 13 to 80. All of us caught halibut. Noah had our catch cleaned and ready when we got to the return dock. We dined on fresh fish and shared great memories.
William Moon4.0VerifiedFull day Halibut trip.
Halibut Charter-- 6 Pack Boat on May 18, 2023 • 3 adultsI felt the trip was over booked, 5 people on the boat fishing, would have been 6, but one of my party members dropped out, think goodness for that, but the bad part is i paid for him, I lost that money. The captain did his best, but 5 people fishing with only 3 to 4 poles in the water, somebody wasn't catching thier fish. I was one of them. I only got 1 Halibut to keep and 2 Cod. I felt bad every time I grabbed a pole to real in a fish, because the others would just be standing there watching. With so few poles in the water, everyone felt bad grabbing a pole. That made the while trip very uncomfortable. Would I do this trip again, hell yeah, would I recommend this trip to someone, hell yeah, it's called fishing, not catching.

They did a great job preparing the gear and keeping everyone’s bait fresh, and also have a great sense of humor and kept things fun and relaxed. I would highly recommend this charter and we hope to be back again soon!
