    family fishing
    Andrew H.

    I think your experience here will largely depend on your captain. We had a very young captain that probably hadn't been a captain for long. He was friendly and amazing at remembering people's names! But he also wasn't great at finding fishing spots. The first few hours we caught nothing. He took us to less popular spots that were shieleded from the weather. But they were less popular spots because...there aren't really any fish there. Finally, he got on the radio and started talking to other captains. The weather wasn't that bad. So then he took us to the more popular spots and...we instantlly started pulling up hallibut! We also paid to get King Salmon and...despite the perserverence and elaborate rigging of the captain and deckhand...we didn't get any. I guess we should've held off on buying a King stamp. This isn't the fault of the captain and deckhand, but it is the fault of the company. They shouldn't have been charging for King charters if no one is cathing Kings yet.

    Max and his crew were awesome! very knowledgeable and easy going! Everything was simple and taken care of! I would definitely recommend going with HOC!

    Successful trip!

    The Homer Ocean Charters experience was amazing. All their captains are very experienced and patient with novice fisherman and know the fishing spots for the different species. We booked the King Salmon, Halibut and Rock Fish and got our limits. The captain even slowed down so we could see Orcas, bears near the coast and humpback whales. I would book with this company again. And they even filets your fish! Great service and experience.

    We walked in and were able to reserve a spot for kayaking the next day. We ended up with a windy day so our host gave us the option to cancel with no penalty or scout for a spot to kayak. We opted to go for it. Joel and Rochelle were pros, had back up plans in case we ran into something unexpected and made it very safe. They both gave us history and lessons in birds and wildlife. They were fun, friendly and professional. Wow are we tired today!

    Our haul!

    Came to Alaska in 2014 and took my best friend halibut fishing. This place gave us the best time…read morefor our buck. You buy your fishing tags at the office and it lets you catch 2 halibuts and 1 king Salmon. We went out about 25 miles out to do our fishing. The capitan was a great host he lets us drink beers and we all had a great time. Be sure to pack a lunch since all there required is to get ya on the fish. After fishing for 4 hrs we cruised up the inlet to try our luck on salmon. Out of 10 of us on the boat I was the only one to catch a 24lb king salmon. After we got back to the dock they filet the fish for ya. If your looking to ship back your fish they will take care of all shipping for ya. I highly recommend this captain he definitely puts us on lots of halibut. Great times for sure

    Absolutely fantastic time. Was a little nervous after reading some of the reviews but very very…read morehappy that we went with them. Old captain that seemed to rub people the wrong way is gone and retired. Fools gold was our ship, and was in fine enough condition, head was clean, plenty of room for the people in and out. We had the pleasure of being with Capitan Dave C. and Deckhand/first mate Ash. The two of them really made the trip incredible. We went with a group size of 7 plus a baby, and they were both insanely accommodating to the little one, let us setup a pack and play in the berth, even checked in on her when we were out fishing and she was sleeping. Tons, and I mean tons, of great conversations, hysterics laughter, and learning a boat load about the area, the fish types, everything under the moon, honestly. Both of them gave clean and consice rules, what to do, where to be in the boat, showed us how to bait, where to land the catch. Very patient folks, and made this excursion top notch. If you want to go halibut fishing, and want to have a good time, go with them. You'd be making a mistake to go with anyone else. Tl;dr: Awesome crew, awesome fish, very nice and would never fish with anyone else given the choice. All limited out, every one of us, with some impressive catches.
