Drift Boats

The Drift boats we use on the Kenai and the Kasilof Rivers are also customized 20ft Willie boats. We feel that the walk around sitting allows you to move around the boat which will make it most comfortable, when fighting that world record fish.

Ocean Charter Boats

If you book a day of halibut fishing for that wonderful tasting white fish you can take your pick of the boat you would like to fish on. For the guest that have only 2 or 3 people you can fish by your selves on a 22ft boat or is you want a bigger boat you will be fishing 6 to a boat. These boats are custom 31ft boats. The boats have these things for your comfort, Huge fishing deck, heated cabin, enclosed restroom, free fish cleaning.

All of our boats are made with comfort & safety in mind.


Rods and Reels 

Our Kenai king rods - We have been using the Berkley IM7 since 1995. This rod has taken lots of Kings over 70+lbs. In 2003 Berkley came out with the Altamont Im7 15-50 this rod is a 9 ft Im7 graphite. The guides are chromium ss304 guide system witch is 20 times tougher, and 55% lighter than conventional aluminum oxide guides. And the one thing that I have been asking for is to have two guides below the faro with the new 9ft rod we have that second guide.” WHAT A ROD!

Our Kenai King Reels - The reels that we have matched with this rod is the Ambassadeur Morrum m7700cl and the Abu Big Game Series 7000. The Abu Big Game Series reels have a high speed 5.3:1 gear ratio. These reels will handle most fish in the saltwater and all freshwater fish.

Our Kasilof King & Silver Rods - Here we fish the Im7 as well. The only difference is that we use the 12-25 lb rod which is perfect for pulling light plug or light egg set ups. These are 8.6ft rods perfect for drift boating. This rod is also the rod we use on odd rears for pulling k-13,14,and even k-15 kwik fish. This rod and a good trolling motor spells danger for Silvers!

Our Kasilof King & Silver Reels - When it comes to kings we use the 6600cl. It is great for back bouncing. This reel is as good as it gets.

Our spinning Rods & Reels: We use spinning rods and reels for casting the New Berkley Scent Vent Spinners for silvers and humpies. Our clients like to go light so we needed a rod that could hold up to catching 25 to 30 fish per day. This is the rod that has passed our test. It is the 6’6” Berkley Lightning Rod IM6 Model lrs662ml. Line wt is 4 to10 witch tests the skills of the best fisherman but doesn't even put a strain on these rods. The reel that we matched up for the test is the Cardinal 500 one of the smoothest spinning reels I have used. When retrieving a spinner, the smoother your reel the better you will feel the blades rotate. The way we fish for silver it is a must to be right down on the bottom. So the slower you can retrieve your spinner without stopping its spin, the more fish you will hook. This whole outfit will only run around $80.00

Don’t forget your kids! We offer a spinning rod combo for $29.00.

Our Trout Fly Rod & Reels: First of all, we use fly rod spinning rods. Our fly Rods are Hmx F905-2 9’0” 5wt. The reel we use to balance out this rod is the WCF45D 4-5 wt 5.6oz. Get a 10lb rainbow on the end of your line and hold on!

Our Trout Spinning Rod & Reels: We like our friends and client to have as much fun as they can, so we use a 10’6” noodle rod. The we put a Cardinal 500 C502. A 10 lb trout on the end of your line will really test your skills!
