Captain Dave and first mate Simon were excellent. I was a single with a group of 9 other family members and we all had a great time. I have only been fishing in Alaska this one time, but would not hesitate to recommend these folks to anyone. We caught a full boat limit of Rockfish and Halibut plus some other species like gray cod that added to haul.…

Capt. Dave and Simon the mate were great. Professional, personable, knowledgeable. And put us on the halibut. If we ever get back to Alaska we will definitely book with Gabe again.

Booked the Halibut/Ling Cod/Rockfish Combo on 8/22/20 & it was awesome!! Limited on large fish (7 Halibut between 80# to 200#, 6 Ling Cod 40# to 62#) Liked it so much I booked the next day for the Long Range Halibut trip. Everyone on the trip got a 60# plus fish! Captain Gabe & Austin are awesome & the Casino is fast & comfortable! Highly recommend!…

I'm a lifetime Alaskan (over 60 years now), so I have a pretty good "feel" for what makes a good fishing charter experience. Booked a Rockfish & Halibut combo charter for my adult son, adult daughter and myself on the King Pin. The weather forecast was for rough seas so the captain immediately declared that we would not be heading out into the Gulf of Alaska for the rockfish. I was initially disappointed but knew it was a good choice because 9 to 11 foot seas in the Gulf of Alaska is really miserable. He took us instead to an area of Southern Cook Inlet and we caught plenty of nice sized halibut (several over 40 lbs) and one person caught a 78 pounder. A truly superb trip, great captain (Dave) and superb deckhand (Simon). They used fresh herring and octopus for bait (which is the best bait combination for halibut that you can get). Awesome trip Dave & Simon!! Thanks so much! The only (very small) thing I'd recommend is if the boat would supply a couple bottles of drinking water for each person. :-)…
