Captain Billy and his daughter were extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area and the wildlife. They made us feel quite comfortable which made for a great trip and we caught plenty of fish.

Average Trip, Probably just a bad day.

Garrett_R, Aug 2024
It was a nice boat, and the guide was super nice and informative. The fishing was sub par, which isn’t always the guides fault, but the charter only lasted 3 hours. I felt like it was an expensive trip for only 3 hours and the price to send fish home from Hoonah is double the price than most places in SE Alaska.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

I'm Sorry you fell that way but I have been told that I am one of the cheapest charters in the area and the place that takes care of you fish to send it home is it's own business and I don't control the price, that's why I make sure you see their prices before you decide to send any fish home

Great time!

Captain Billy has a great knowledge of the fishing in his area. He is also a very nice guy! I felt like I’ve known him for a long time! There were 6 of us on his boat, and we all caught fish. I would highly recommend him for a great fishing experience.

Amazing!

Great Halibut fishing with captain Bill. Full of knowledge and put us on the fish. We saw orca’s, bear and sea lions. Just wish it was a longer excursion than 3 hrs. Only fished for 1 hr.

Billy was great. A local who knows where the fish are biting. We caught ample amounts of fish. Gave great recommendations on where to eat locally afterwards. Thanks Billy for our first Alaskan fishing experience. It was a success!
