Ear Mountain Charters
Ear Mountain Charters invites you to experience the stunning waters of Hoonah. Captain Eric will be your guide, allowing you to benefit from years of angling experience.
You're likely to fish for Halibut, Salmon, and more if you come at the right time of year. On these trips, it's common to troll and bottom fish.
Trips with Ear Mountain Charters are child-friendly, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks to stay fueled throughout your trip!
You'll be casting lines from a 32' North River aluminum fishing boat with a capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is included, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
You can't go wrong when you bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). Alcohol is not allowed.

3 Hour Trip – Halibut Shared on June 12, 2025 • 4 adultsEveryone in our group of caught fish and had a terrific time! Captain Eric and his wife, who grew up in Hoonah, shared stories and history that elevated the overall experience. Rather than clean, freeze, and ship our catch home, we decided to donate our catch to a local Seniors home. Love the opportunity to give back to this very special place! Highly recommend!!!

Danielle Tocaben5.0VerifiedExceeded Expectations
3 Hour Trip – Halibut Shared on August 3, 2025 • 4 adultsOur family had a great halibut fishing trip! Our group included some with fishing experience, and some who had never fished. Captain Eric knows the area well and took us to a beautiful spot where we caught numerous fish. He and Alice made sure we were equipped with poles most suitable for each of us, and the right bait - every person caught multiple fish of various sizes, included two large ones! They are professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, and we all had an amazing experience fishing in Alaska - would highly recommend!
