Wow, this fishing trip was the highlight of my Alaskan vacation! I can’t say enough good things about Captain Joe and Deck Hand Jake. These guys did a great job keeping our group on fish. We caught halibut, silver salmon, king salmon, rock fish, black bass, and some other interesting species. We saw whales, sea lions, puffins, and of course..them pesky seagulls! At one point a sea lion tried to steal my salmon! Our boat limited out early and we waved at the large group of boats on the way in. The Captain knew that making the little bit longer trek in rough seas was going to pay off. And that it did!

-Cheers on a job well done guys!

Captain Joe and Deckhand Jake did an excellent job of taking our party of six out on the Salty Loot, including our 11 year old daughter and 9 year old son. The boat ride to the fishing grounds was a bit bumpy, but Joe made us all feel safe and relatively comfortable. The boat ride was well worth it as we cought our limit of halibut. Joe and Jake were very thorough with explaining the techniques and answering all of our questions. They were also respectful when the kids got a bit green in the face. After catching our limit of halibut we were taken to a spot with an incredible black rockfish bite. To finish up the trip we came across a pod of orcas while boating back in! What a great day of fishing and wildlife! I highly recommend Captain Joe and Deckhand Jake on the Salty Loot!!!

Captains Dave and Bub seemed to have just as much fun on this trip as we did. They made us feel like we were all on this adventure together. We cracked jokes, talked some trash and learned stuff. My parter and I shared the trip with 3 other people for a total of 5 passengers. We didn’t feel crowded at all.

Catching fish and good weather are never a guarantee, but we were able to all catch our limit and the weather was fantastic. Captain Dave pushed our fishing time to the very last minute to ensure we had the best chance of reaching our limit. Captain Bub cleaned and fileted our fish on the way back through the choppy waters. Watching him jam out with his headphones on while the boat was slamming through waters was impressive to say the least. I can’t say enough good things about this trip.

Where to start, no dull moments ...

Our Captain Joe and our First Mate Jake were both accommodating and informative during the entire 10 hour experience. They partnered well with one another and integrated perfectly with our group of six.

Salty Loot is a well kept and well stocked boat that includes a head (restroom), sink with fresh water, heated cabin, microwave, plenty of storage space and ensures all safety needs.

The captain and crew take care of baiting all required rods and guiding clients through procedures of next steps depending on your fishing location around the area.

Fish on!  After your catch, the crew will clean your fish during the sail back to port where you are allowed additional options including shipping your catch directly to your residence.

Thank you team!

Went out with Captain Joe who put us right on a silver salmon bite that was red hot. All five clients limited in less than an hour. We then chased halibut and put multiple in the boat including a couple monsters. Joe was professional, personable, and extremely knowledgeable. Would highly recommend Blue Ice Alaska Charters.
