Highlights
Outing Highlights
Target a Variety — Halibut, Rockfish, Lingcod
This charter is designed for multispecies success: anglers pursue halibut alongside black rockfish, yelloweye and lingcod, maximizing the chance to fill limits across species on a single long day at sea.
Long-range Fishing 60–80 Miles Offshore
The long-range trip runs deep past the Cook Inlet and out into the Gulf of Alaska—traveling roughly 60–80 miles to reach rich, mixed-species grounds where the day is spent on the salt.
Chance at Record Fish
While the trip prioritizes multiple species over chasing only the largest halibut, anglers sometimes land exceptional fish—lingcod have been recorded up to 86 pounds on this program.
