Halibut guide

Will be in Juneau the end of July and wanted to try my hand at Halibut fishing.
Anyone fished that area or know of a good guide service close to there?

I was in Petersburg about 10 years ago, and we just rented a skiff with all of the gear and crab pots. The guy we rented the skiff from told us where to go and gave us a map.
Later in the summer it’s pretty easy to find halibut in the passage without going outside to open ocean, Just get a tide book and find deep water at slack tide. Didn’t save a ton of money, but we put a lot of miles on whale watching, checking out glaciers and fishing.

We used Baranof out of Ketchikan. Had a great time. Caught lots of fish. They cooked part of our catch on a private beach and it was beyond words. Shipped a bunch home.

I'm in for this. This summer my wife and I are driving to Alaska. Halibut fishing is one thing i want to do while I am there. Can't book a guide because don't know what day I will make it to the coast. Maybe the boat rental is the way to go.

You may still want to make a reservation, the only reason we got a boat without one was a cancellation.
On the other hand, most captains love to take a single or double to sell a boat out. Most halibut charters run multiple trips per day encouraging you to keep the first two you catch. I’d recommend a multi-specie trip or at least a full day. There are even some overnight charters, which allow you two days worth of fish.
Another tip is to skip the fish boxes if you have a direct flight home. We typically put the frozen vacuum packed fish in our sleeping bag in a duffel with any other clothes. Fish are always rock hard when we get home. The insulation and frozen mass make it all just fine.

And

“We have also used Mary Times charter from Ninilchek or Captain B’s C’s out of Homer his number is 907 235 4114”

They always have extra fillets as long as they’ve been going. They did say the Glosser guy can lack some people skills at times but he definitely knows where the fish are and how to catch them.

I will second this. He also added another boat that his son is running. Great guide that is a lot of fun that fishes for big fish. If you end up around Valdez he is your man.
