A Family of Fishermen
We are a proud Alaskan and family-owned business that really knows its stuff.
Operated and owned by 3rd generation fishermen and still located on the family homestead, we have been fishing in Alaska’s cold waters before the company was even born. Start your fishing trip with the confidence that your captain and crew are equipped with all the knowledge or tools at our disposal.
Fish Processing
Let us do all the dirty work
We fillet or prepare your fish as you like, rinsed, skinned, and ready to freeze. Then we store it or you take it to our local processor where it can be frozen, vacuum packed, shipped, or stored for a longer period of time.
Don’t want to deal with your fish at all? We have add on products that will transport your catch to the processor and even include freezing and shipping, not to mention meals, gear, and fishing licenses!

Fish on one of our unique vessels all well-maintained and loved by our crew
We have various vessels ranging from 32-foot Munson design landing crafts like the Thomasea, to our custom and purpose built catamaran landing crafts Islay M and Fox Willie. All of our captains and deckhands are experienced and certified.
Our Gear
We take pride in our gear from custom fishing poles to in house hand tied terminal tackle.
Most of our gear was not only designed by us for us in house by our rod manufacturing partners, but has been proven effective over 40 years of trial and tribulation. We maintain and replace our gear so that you are using the best and most reliable rods, bait, reels and jigs we could muster.
