Rain gear, be prepared for cooler weather....dont expect 100 pound halibut....take the good normal 30-50 pound ones if you get the opportunity....

Don't blame the boat or crew for the weather. If it wasn't for mother nature it would have been great.

This year, in June, the salmon fishing has been spotty but our captain was able to help us bring in 4 beautiful chinooks.

Maybe. Check the tides. Call in advance and ask your guide what days have the best fishing tides and plan your trip around that

If you are fishing in homer for the first time be prepared to fish in the rain. Even if you tell your kids pack for colder weather and rain, make sure they packed rain gear

Depends on type of fishing desired. Fishing from shore is fun but to catch quality fish you must find a good charter boat.

If you get motion sick, bring meds to prepare. The patch worked best for us. Dress warm

Great for first timers. You don't need to know or provide anything except water and snacks.

Be aware that a 3hr trip doesn't necessarily end up with an eatable catch. The crew made it fun.

Get ready for an upper body workout when fishing. Take Dramamine, or similar, the night before.

Don’t be fooled- fishing in June can be chillier than you think! Being an extra coat and gloves.

If fishing in May, be prepared not to catch any salmon. But the other fish make up for it!

If it’s early season fish out of Seward for the big boys. Don’t forget your beer.
