Halibut Fishing Charter
Our halibut fishing season runs May through September, with peak fishing usually from June through August, when Pacific halibut migrate into the local waters. On a charter with us, you’ll use premium gear including two-speed reels, heavy-duty Spectra line, and 200 lb.-class rods with options for jigging or bait fishing.
Typical depths fished are between 180 and 400 feet. Because limits and regulations change yearly, we recommend calling us at 1-866-BIG-JIMS to confirm the latest halibut rules before your trip.
Whether you’re hoping for a trophy halibut or simply want to experience the thrill of deep-water fishing, this charter promises a memorable day on the water.
King Salmon Fishing Charter
King Salmon (Chinook) are Alaska’s most prized target – known for their size, strength, and the challenge they present to even seasoned anglers. While kings can be found year-round, the prime season in Juneau typically runs from late May through June.
Our Juneau, Alaska fishing charter gives you access to top-quality gear, expert guidance, and comfortable boats, everything you need to pursue that trophy King salmon.
Coho Salmon Fishing Charter
Coho (Silver) salmon are a favorite among anglers for their acrobatic fights and excellent table quality. They start showing up in early July and remain through the summer, with peak action from mid-July through late August. Coho over 20 pounds are not uncommon, and many experience their most thrilling catches during this time.
Whether you’re a first-time angler or a seasoned vet, our charter will provide all the gear, guidance, and local knowledge needed to land a great Coho catch.
Chum Salmon Fishing Charter
Chum salmon – often called “dog salmon” – arrive in June and July, offering anglers a great chance at a bountiful catch. These fish are known for their robust flavor and are especially valued for their eggs (excellent for caviar). Chum can reach up to 15 lbs., making them a solid choice for both first-time and experienced anglers alike.
Our Juneau fishing charters make it easy and fun to target chum – whether for fresh eating, smoking, or preserving for later.
Pink Salmon Fishing Charter
Pink salmon (“humpies”) are the smallest of the five salmon species, but they’re abundant, especially from June through August. Typical catches range around 5 lbs., though occasionally larger fish (up to 10 lbs.) show up. While not ideal for smoking, they’re perfect for fresh salmon patties or canning.
If you’re looking for a fun, lower-pressure fishing experience – or want to add a variety of fish to your catch – a Pink salmon charter is a great option.
