Jj’s experience and knowledge ensure that you will have the most enjoyable and safe fishing trip of a lifetime. With a combined 12 years of experience, from Oregon and Washington to Southeast Alaska and the Kenai Peninsula, Jj is one of the most diversified charter captains on the water.Many charter operations can go out and catch big fish but very few can do it consistently, conditions permitting Jj does this every day but his main focus is that everyone is safe and has a very enjoyable time.
