Salmon Fishing Charter Featured on ESPN 

This was a fantastic experience. The boat ride was brief, the scenery was picturesque, and Captain Jeremy was great. Conversation was relaxed and entertaining. Boat was clean, plenty of bait. We caught 2 King Salmon approx 14 to 18 lbs, a Dolly Varden about 3 lbs and a Jack Salmon about 5 lbs. We took home 15 lbs of clean fish and filets. What an experience. Very pleased.

Captain Jeremy was gregarious, fun, and knowledgeable 🙂 We also took a lot of great pictures but we did not catch any fish. 😞 It was a wonderful experience overall to see Alaska. Just wish we caught a fish. This trip is for everyone 🙂 Future guests should know that the restroom is just out somewhere on shore on the grass and, never, ever, bring bananas on board!

Fantastic fishing trip! It absolutely rounded out our trip to Alaska! We learned so much about the area from our expert guide. Thank you for the great day on the water and a fishing story we will be telling for years to come!

Fun and knowledgeable captain. We only caught one fish but Tracy did everything he could to maximize our chances.

Captain Doug was great. we saw salmon and caught salmon what else could you ask for!! 🙂

Terry tried hard to lock in on the fish. They weren't biting. A few swells. Looks like none of the morning boats got king salmon. Scenery was great with a juvenile eagle flying around.

Even though no catches today the early morning scenery was superb. Wildlife was spotted, moose, seal, and bald eagles flying by. A must do in Alaska!

We had a good time on the boat. The scenery was amazing; just one thing was missing. We caught no fish.

We booked a salmon fishing charter with Captain Ray (“Lucky”) while visiting Anchorage. Ray was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly has a lot of experience on the water. We also appreciated that he was honest about the challenges this season, explaining that commercial netting has significantly impacted the salmon runs and made fishing much tougher. That said, our experience was disappointing. All three of his charter boats stayed within a few hundred feet of where we launched, and our boat only moved about 50 feet during the entire five-hour trip. Between all three boats, only one salmon was caught. We completely understand that fishing is never guaranteed, and we would never leave a poor review simply because the fish weren’t biting. What was frustrating was the lack of effort to try different locations or techniques. Sitting in essentially the same spot for five hours made it feel like we weren’t being given the best opportunity to be successful. During much of the downtime, Ray was making fishing lures to sell, which added to the impression that there wasn’t much focus on trying to improve our chances. We know there are days when no one catches fish, and we appreciate the honesty about the difficult conditions. However, we would have much preferred spending the day actively searching for fish, even if we still came home empty-handed. The effort and experience are a big part of what people are paying for on a guided charter. Hopefully, this was just an off day, but based on our experience, we expected a much more proactive approach from a guided fishing trip.

For years, if not decades, I always told my friends I would love to go to Alaska and pull a nice salmon out of the river. Our great fishing guide, Jeremey, made it happen! He was the best. He created a friendly atmosphere from the start. We really enjoyed his company, his fishing knowledge, history of the area, and great stories. Our main reason to visit Alaska was to run in the Anchorage marathon on the previous Sunday, which we did. But the trip's main event was our fishing experience. My wife has limited experience fishing, especially from a boat, and was a little apprehensive before we went. But the end of the week, she said it was the best adventure we did, and that's thanks to Jeremy!
