Fish deep Gulf waters for lingcod and rockfish on an all-day Homer charter

Guided fishing, Gear provided
Target lingcod and rockfish in deeper Gulf of Alaska waters on a fully guided, all-day charter from Homer. You’ll head out early, fish offshore, and return in the evening.
Lingcod season starts July 1. This trip runs June, July, and August only. You need a fishing license (printed or electronically signed).
Full refund if cancelled before departure due to weather. If you leave the dock but cannot fish due to weather, a $30/person fee applies. Operator may place you on a different boat due to unforeseen issues. Fuel surcharge may be added if fuel prices are inflated.
Bring your fishing license (printed or electronically signed on your phone), food and drinks, warm layered clothing (rain gear is recommended), and extra cash to tip the crew (gratuity is not included).
No. Your guided fishing charter is fully outfitted with fishing gear.

Dan and Sarah have built something special here on the Kenai River. Guests rave about the immaculate cabins with full kitchens and all the gear you could need, from waders to fishing rods to processing facilities on-site. The property itself gets high marks for its prime location right on the river, where moose and eagles are regular visitors and you can fish from the docks. Sarah especially earns consistent praise for being an exceptional host who goes above and beyond, teaching guests to clean and fillet their catch, arranging fishing charters, and making everyone feel like family. The fishing operation runs both ocean charters out of Homer and Seward plus river trips for salmon, and guests consistently report hitting their limits with knowledgeable captains and crew. What stands out is how many reviewers become repeat visitors, booking their next trip before they even leave. People genuinely appreciate the attention to detail, from the stocked community fridge to the smoker and grills available for use. This is clearly a well-run operation where hosts have thought through every aspect of an Alaska fishing experience.
Big Dan's was awesome. Stayed at the lodge and spent a day out halibut fishing. Can't recall name of the boat but it is 🤯. Recommended for anyone interested in fishing the Kenai or staying in soldatna. Dan and his wife, who's name escapes me, are terrific. Cabins are very well equipped and clean. You can't go wrong.
