Joe is amazing! We caught salmon, halibut, rockfish, and some crazy underwater critters! He works his booty off to make sure his guests are well taken care of! We had a blast and lots of laughs! Book your Alaskan fishing trip with Joe!

Joe went far above and beyond the call of duty to give my kids a great day on the water. First, we did not have cell service, so he arranged for a taxi to pick us up, and return us, to the cruise ship. Second, since the weather was not cooperating, Joe suggested we not try for halibut and concentrate on just salmon. It was slow at first, and when we spotted orcas in the area, we knew why.  Instead of making a quick exit, he saw my excitement as the sole non-fisherman on the boat, and  let me film them a bit before setting off for a new location. The next spot was a gem and the fishermen on board were thrilled to reel in several king salmon. Joe was so nice and patient, and more importantly, determined to put us on some fish. We only had a half day charter but he did not let time, orcas, or bad weather deter him. He changed methods and locations a few times until we hit the jackpot. Fishing with Joe was the highlight of our trip and we will be repeat clients whenever we can get to Alaska.

We were scheduled for the 6 hour halibut and salmon combo. The weather did not allow us to go after halibut, so Joe adjusted the price and we just did the salmon portion. We were able to catch a couple nice fish. Joe is a great guy and works hard to get you on the fish. Great family outing.

The minute we got on the boat Joe had the confidence of our group. Joe is a professional and his attention to detail is most ensuring. Our elder statesman, who had never caught a salmon, ended up with two huge King Salmon that sparked a child like excitement that was infectious to us all. We caught Halibut, Chum Salmon, Pink Salmon, Ling Cod, Silver Salmon and King Salmon. Huge King salmon!!! It was a memorable trip for all of us. We want to come back and we will. Thank you Joe.

Honestly, people only write reviews when something is really awful or really amazing. Spoiler alert: THIS TRIP WAS AMAZING! Captain Joe was fantastic, even in rough conditions. We had gorgeous sunshine, which is rare, but also makes the fishing a little tougher and the water a little choppy. Regardless of the conditions, Joe would keep us positioned to minimize the effect of the wind and the waves and lead us to a pocket of salmon. We were still able to reel in multiple keepers. If your trip with Joe happens to be a sunny day and the fishing is slower than normal, you won't be disappointed because the views from the boat are stunning - in every direction. Joe provided detailed instructions that took out all the guess work of how to get to the marina, who to call, and what the cost would be. Our transition from cruise ship to the fishing charter and back was seamless and Joe was reachable should we have needed him. As an over compulsive planner, I really appreciated all the information Joe provided us in advance. We traveled as a family with a 4 year old, Joe was more than prepared for us. He got our son involved, had kid friendly snacks, and the conversation felt like we were talking to an old friend. We left Alaska feeling like we didn't see nearly enough - which means a return trip for us and a visit with our friend, Joe.

Our fishing trip with Joe was the highlight of our Alaskan vacation. We booked with Joe after reading many positive reviews, and it exceeded our expectations. Because of his expertise, we were able to reel in 15+ salmon. The staff back at the marina made the process of shipping our fish back home a breeze. Highly recommend!

Our trip with Joe was spectacular. He was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and funny. His boat is well equipped. Being a novice fisherwoman, I felt comfortable and had so much fun. I would highly recommend a day on the water with Joe.

Joe was great, weather was great, fishing was great and the wildlife at the marina was an added bonus. If we are ever back we will be looking for Joe to take us out again.
