Member since December 2016 Juneau, United States
Background
Owner and Captain Alaska Adventure Charters Juneau Alaska opperating a 60 foot pilothouse motor yaught on week long Charters around Admirality Island 2005 to 2012 Owner and Captain Big Jim’s Charters/ Hi Time Charters form Auke Bay,Alaska oppertung 3 boats Hi Time 30 foot Boulton, Petrel 30 Foot Duckworth and Hot Rod at 32 foot Luhrs on day charters, 4-6 and 8 hour private whole boat charters. 2005 to current
Techniques
I have all the hot honey holes from my own personal experience as well as all the hot spots from Hi Time charters when I purchased that charter company in 2015. I take clients to the Hot Spots and hold the boat on the sports while our deck hand helps the fisherman get their rigs down to the bottom and start jigging for the Halibut. When the bite slows I will reposition the boat or travel to another hot spot. When all the anglers have their limits, I will take them to the hot trolling areas for Salmon. When fishing for Salmon, I put out one rod per person and slow troll using electric downriggers to get the lines to the areas where the bait and Salmon are located on my fishfinder. I draw numbers, when the next line gets hit, number one is up, after he brings in or loses the fish, he goes to the end of the line and number two is up. I don't assign one rod to each person as there is always the one hot rod that catches all the fish.
