ShoreTrips says...

Whether you are a novice or a seasoned veteran, most people will agree that Alaska is home to some of the best fishing in the world. So grab a pole and let's get started!

It's just a short ride from the cruise ship pier to the start of your fishing adventure. With everything you need already prepared, you'll leave the Hoonah boat harbor for the abundant waters of Port Fredrick.

The experienced and skilled captain and crew of this 32' comfortable boat are committed to personal service and to working their hardest to put a tasty "barn door" halibut on your line. These feisty (and tasty) fish put up quite a fight so you're in for some action.

Your crew will target the specific type of Pacific Halibut that is in season during your visit to increase your odds of success.

You are able to have your catch cleaned, processed and shipped through a local fish company. Feel free to discuss this with your captain on the day of the charter.
