Halibut Fishing
Our halibut fishing charters target trophy-sized Pacific halibut in Kodiak's nutrient-rich waters. Using specialized deep-drop rigs and jigging techniques, we access prime fishing grounds where clients regularly catch 20-50 lb specimens. Our experienced crew provides expert guidance on gear handling and fish fighting strategies.
King Salmon Fishing
Specialized king salmon charters focus on catching Alaska's largest salmon species during peak migration periods. We employ downriggers, hoochies, and live bait techniques in strategic locations around Kodiak Island. Our guides teach proper trolling speeds and lure presentation for maximum success.
Sea Duck Hunting
Guided sea duck hunts target species like harlequin and oldsquaw ducks in coastal environments. We provide decoys, calls, and safety equipment while navigating remote shoreline locations. Hunters receive instruction on ethical shot placement and local regulations compliance.

Licensed big game transportation services handle harvested animals from remote locations to processing facilities. Our equipment includes specialized hoists and transport containers to maintain meat quality. We follow strict protocols for game care and field dressing.
