He got the hoodie in Homer but he got it bloody in Whittier! The weather is up and down, but we’ll keep fishing when we can and we now have space available. It’s not too late!
A fishing story in 3 Acts! I love that over the years groups have become like family. There’s give and take, friendship and above all, trust. So glad Matt was able to work around the weather in this case…patience, kindness, skill and a healthy sense of humor…couldn’t ask for more! Thank you to the Steele party for your faith! charters
I’m an idiot…I think I typed basking shark instead of sleeper shark. Tells you I should probably go to sleep myself instead of posting!
Game, set….match! Again, a little behind with photos! Rockfish with Captain Paige on the N’Sanity # captainpaige
Bizarre plug but I just have to let everyone know about our annual Labor Day Day booking vacuum…right now I have space available on September 2nd, mostly because I think people assume the holiday is already full! Let Matt know if you’d like to spend your long weekend out fishing, otherwise it might be our reason to escape to the Alaska State Fair!
Pictures have slowed down for a sec as I had to go back to the formal winter job and get the kids ready for another school year! Here’s a photo from Kelsey’s last day…definitely been a great summer of fishing!
Great smiles on a gray day! Thanks so much for coming out with us!
If you have an ink-ling for squid…we can help! 🦑
Family trip on the N’Sanity last week
Some days are nothing but blue skies and beauty, other days you’re stuck sneaking around storms. The weather, the wind, and the tides will always play their part! Here’s a shot of a mild day, a turquoise sea and some happy fishermen! Thank you for choosing us!
Still trying to catch up (but all and all been better at posting this summer)! Looks like fun and full deck on the Swee’ Pea
“Most of the world is covered by water. A fisherman’s job is simple: Pick out the best parts.” Another amazing day on Prince William Sound!
Again, I’m a few days off with photos…August off to a good start!
5 golden lings 🎶
I love this…no rain gear, no problem! When it comes to the excitement of landing your 1st salmon, she just went old school with the plastic bags! She traveled too far to miss the moment!
Needed to take a few days to take care of stuff at home (back to school, kids’ sports), but those boats are still running everyday!
When a fish renders you only capable of speaking in emoji:
🍊🤩🎰🎰🎰🎰🙌
I will have to find out the full story about this tomorrow!
Holy Hypomelanosis Halibut…say that 6 times fast. While the blind side of most flatfish is normally white, with the ocular side holding camouflaging color, this one might have missed the memo. Variety keeps it interesting, with one big patch of pigment missing up top!
Sunny skies and silver salmon!
And from the Swee’ Pea…again I am no quick on the draw with the pics! Thank you so much for going on the water with us!
A bit behind with the regular pic posting program! (Wonderful summer company arrived, dipnetting on the river…which means both time out fishing and added hours to get about town with all the extra visitors and traffic!) Another fun day and great fish with Captain Paige on the N’Sanity!
Mid-season mark! This time of year, it can be tough to get a hold of us in the office…charters everyday, many of them extended over night trips. Please, please feel free to leave detailed texts at 907-440-9510! It’s often hard to hear voicemails over the waves, engines and of course with all the wonderful conversations and activity already happening on the boats! Awesome picture of Captain Paige with a nice lingcod…fishing is the main mission and we will try to get back to calls as soon as we're back at the dock!
1 doesn’t have to be the loneliest number! A passenger unfortunately can’t make it with their group, leaving a single space open on the Swee’ Pea tomorrow! The trips have been so memorable this season…look at the lace pattern on this guy! #
Been stuck with some storms that kept the Whittier fleet off the water on Saturday. Thankfully, back at it today. As you can see, rain gear comes in handy…keeping you dry and often offering the added bonus of helping you coordinate with your catch.
Nice fish from the Swee’ Pea! I feel awful because I’ve been talking to a lot of nice people and telling them we’re full on August 8th…well, a party has had to release their seats and now I have probably the last boat open in Whittier for another prime day. THURSDAY 8/8…I have to be back at winter work, otherwise I’d claim it for a family trip! Fishing has been fantastic and the silvers are around making it a perfect time for multi species LUCK.🍀
Happy, happy, happy birthday to Captain Reece! Thank you and Captain Paige for all you do! It’s a tough job and you guys make it look like fun, no matter the weather, the bite, or when those mechanical MacGyver moments pop up! Wishing you both many wonderful adventures!
On the N’Sanity, Captain Paige and Deckhand Vincent S!
More lingcod from the Swee’ Pea…they’re really gorgeous when they first come up with amazing orange scales, sometimes even they’re even laced with turquoise like the color of weathered copper. A crazy blend of fish meets eel meets fantasy book dragon, just aggressive looking in attitude and appearance!

Happy, happy, happy birthday to Captain Paige!!! Absolutely beyond grateful for everything you do each and every day! Wishing you love, luck, happiness, strength, friendship and all the great adventures you could hope for!
Speeding towards August and grateful to everyone who’s been out with us! We’ve been lucky with amazingly talented captains, crew and wonderful customers this year! #halibut #rockfish #salmon #lingcod #fishingcharters #alaska #saltlife #whittiermarinecharters
Captain Reece sent in this video perfectly capturing one of those “wait for it” moments! A day trip is so much more than fishing…sights like this NEVER get old! #humpback #princewilliamsound #whittieralaska #sightseeing #alaska #whales #waitforit
There’s really no place in the world our captains and deckhands would want to be but on the water, rain or shine. But the sea is still very much in charge. From time to time, storms and weather come up and we occasionally have to cancel for safety’s sake. We understand a halibut charter is often a once-in-lifetime, “bucket list” trip and it’s very hard to hear your day has ended at the dock. Let me tell you: we’re ALWAYS going to err on the side of caution. You can’t chase dreams of big fish if you ignore the warnings of the wind and waves! Yeah, the “bucket list” is great (I have a pretty awesome one myself!), but we’d rather NOT help you meet the need for it prematurely!
This calm-as-can-be halibut seemed to instinctively KNOW that the angler already filled her limit. Yeah, I added the sad violin music for comic effect. But, as you can see, Captain Matt, Kelsey and everybody else onboard really enjoyed the experience of seeing her slip quietly back to the bottom! Another day’s fight or future generations of halibut? What’s certain is that she’s 200lbs of memories and a legitimate “one that got away” fun family fishing tale! #halibut #halibutcharters #whittiermarinecharters #CaptainMatt #fishonenergy #alaska #whittieralaska #solong #fishingmemories #overnightcharters #princewilliamsound
On the boat rental side, Matt has decided to extend a special through the rest of June. Rentals available to EXPERIENCED boaters…just need to stay local! Grab a vessel for the weekend and fill your freezer with Prince William Sound Shrimp! #shrimp #boatrentals #alaskaboating
What are you doing this Memorial Day? We have a BOAT for you! Give Matt a call at (907) 440-9510 and meet some great people, see some great sights and catch some great fish! The early season has been phenomenal this year! #whittieralaska #halibut #hunting #fishalaska #fishingcharters #whittiermarinecharters
(Sorry if double post into Facebook!) It’s King Salmon season. Get a jump on those Memorial Day BBQs! Let’s get trolling! #princewilliamsound #whittiermarinecharters #whittieralaska #kingsalmon #trolling
Coming out of winter hibernation because boating season is here! We’ll be at the Matsu Outdoorsman Show this weekend and have plenty of Early Season Specials to offer! First up is an amazing deal on boat rentals! Get out and enjoy Prince William Sound before the great annual tourist migration! #whittieralaska #boatrentals #fishingalaska #halibut #salmon #shrimping #squidding #princewilliamsound
We tend to tuck in and hibernate for the winter, so I’ve been terrible at posting. But the 2024 fishing season is coming on fast. We’re looking for a deckhand to join our talented, hardworking team. Hoping for a strong work ethic, great service skills & willingness to learn on the beautiful waters of Prince William Sound. #princewilliamsound #alaskafishing #alaskafishingcharters #whittieralaska
