Our trip with Alaskan Adventure Guides on the Sea Hunter was one for the books. The weather threw everything at us — fog, wind, chop, and rain — but Captain Cory still put us right on the fish and got us our limit. That guy really knows his stuff.

But honestly, the highlight for me was Rachel, the deckhand. She had everything dialed in — rods set up, lines baited, fish filleted like it was nothing. She knows her way around those Alaska waters. On top of all that, she kept everyone laughing with her fishing dad jokes, which might’ve been what really hooked me. Here’s one back at her “Why don’t fish play basketball? Because they’re afraid of the net.”

Between Cory running the boat and Rachel keeping things fun, it was hands down one of the best fishing trips I’ve been on. I’ll definitely be booking with them again.

I was on a trip with my son and we were looking for something unique to round out our trip, this was it!  Corey was our pilot and guide and he was fantastic.  Great pilot, very safe, easy to talk with, and knew his stuff when we got to the lake.  We had to pivot a bit with some incoming weather, but he had options and our trip went off perfectly.  Fish were a bit slow, but we still managed to put a few in the boat, but had a great experience watching the bears come right down to the water to feed while we were at a safe, but close, distance to take it in and get some great pics.  Would highly recommend this trip, worth every dollar.

Capt. Corey and First Mate Rachel provided an enjoyable and successful trip with the boat limiting out on halibut and rock-fish with an additional catch of cod to everyone’s satisfaction.

Corey works hard getting you on the fish. While most boats don’t travel as far as the Barren Islands, perhaps due to the cost of fuel, that’s where we caught our larger halibut limiting out quickly.

We could hear other captain’s chatter on the radio and the boats we heard were getting “Skunked”. One captain of a large party boat said he had 16 fisherman on board and one halibut. I hope fishing picked up for them. To the best of my knowledge no other boats came out to the Barrens that day except a couple of boats that were anchored in the area when we arrived. We kept our First Mate Rachel busy and she could not have been better prepared for the task. Thank you to Corey and Rachel for a great day on the water!

If I return next summer I’ll be fishing with Corey and hopefully Rachel if they’re available.They a productive team!

The weather forecast looked terrible but the Capt asked us if we wanted to stick our noses in it and see if we could catch some fish. A lot of boats stayed in the harbor but we and a few others got out. We got on a mess of cod early then went to find halibut. After getting our limit of halibut we went back and picked up a few more cod before the wind picked up. On the way back, we stopped to troll for salmon. A small electrical issue had to be fixed for one of the down riggers but we were trolling in no time and got a few pink and king salmon before calling it a day. Capt and a first mate were very communicative and willing to do what we wanted while giving us their opinion of the conditions. One of the best fishing charter experiences I have ever had. If we come back to Homer, I will be booking them again.

Captain Jeremy and deck hand Rachel went above and beyond to make this a true ultimate fishing trip! Captain Jeremy easily landed us in the best fishing places, catching halibut, rockfish, and salmon! Rachel was an expert at having all the fishing gear ready to go wasting absolutely zero time and catching the maximum amount of fish allowed. they even were able to squeeze in some orca viewing moments on top of it all! Truly fun time and best crew you will not be disappointed choosing this crew!
