Shared 9 Hour Ultimate Combo Charter Trip
Looking for the real deal when it comes to Alaska offshore fishing? This shared 9-hour charter targeting Halibut, Rockfish, Lingcod, and Yelloweye around the remote waters of Barren and Chugach Islands delivers exactly what serious anglers are after. Running from April through September, this isn't your typical half-day tourist trip—we're talking about a proper long-range adventure that puts you on Alaska's most prized bottom fish. Captain Corey and his crew have been putting anglers on limits for years, and they know exactly where to find the big ones when conditions are right.
What to Expect on the Water
You'll be fishing some of the most productive waters in Alaska, where the continental shelf drops off and creates perfect habitat for monster Halibut and trophy Rockfish. These remote spots around Barren and Chugach Islands see way less pressure than the closer-in areas, which means bigger fish and better action. The trip runs Monday, Tuesday, Thursday through Sunday, giving you plenty of flexibility to work around weather windows. Don't worry about bringing your own gear—all rods, reels, and terminal tackle are provided, so you just need to show up with your Alaska fishing license and be ready to work. Trip duration can vary from 8 to 12 hours depending on fish activity and sea conditions, but that's how you know you're fishing with captains who prioritize results over schedules.
Bottom Fishing Techniques
We're talking serious bottom fishing here—heavy jigs, circle hooks, and enough weight to punch through the current and get down to where the big fish live. You'll be working depths anywhere from 80 to 300 feet, depending on what species we're targeting and where the fish are holding. The crew will have you rigged with everything from whole herring and cut bait for Halibut to smaller jigs and plastics for Rockfish and Lingcod. Expect to do some real work—these aren't pan-sized fish, and when you hook into a barn door Halibut or a 30-pound Lingcod, you're going to feel it. The deck crew knows their stuff and will keep you moving efficiently from species to species, re-rigging tackle and cleaning fish while you're still fishing. It's a well-oiled operation that maximizes your time with lines in the water.
Customer Stories
"Captain Corey and deckhand Brock ran a tight ship—no nonsense, just straight to the action. When the fish were biting one after another, Brock kept everything moving like a ninja, landing fish, resetting lines, and cleaning the catch effortlessly, even in choppy waters. Corey put us right on target for each species with minimal search time, keeping us dialed in all day. We drove from Anchorage at 1 AM and were back home with vacuum-packed fillets by midnight. Long day, but zero regrets—epic trip. 10/10 would highly recommend!" - Joshua
"Best fishing trip ever—and we've been on plenty! Captain Corey and his mate worked hard to keep the action going, ensuring we filled our limits while still releasing plenty. Highly recommend the multi-species trip—totally worth it!" - Brian
"Despite some rough weather, Corey and Brock made sure we had an incredible trip and hit our Halibut limit! We didn't get much time for Salmon or Rockfish, but they made the best of the conditions and kept the trip fun. Corey knows the best fishing spots, and Brock is hands down the best filet man I've ever seen—cleaning fish flawlessly in heavy chop and rain. Can't wait for the next trip, hopefully with better weather!" - Jonathan
Species You'll Want to Hook
Pacific Halibut are the crown jewel of Alaska bottom fishing, and these waters consistently produce fish in the 50 to 200-pound range. These flatfish are ambush predators that sit on sandy bottoms waiting for baitfish to swim by, which makes them perfect targets for whole herring or large cut baits fished right on the deck. Peak season runs from late May through August when the big females move into shallower feeding areas. What makes Halibut so special is the fight—they're incredibly strong and stubborn, often making multiple runs toward the bottom before you can get them boat-side. Plus, the meat is absolutely primo, with firm white fillets that are perfect for everything from fish and chips to blackened steaks.
Lingcod are the bulldogs of the rockpile, and catching one is like hooking into a freight train with attitude. These aggressive predators can exceed 40 pounds in these waters and are known for their massive mouths full of needle-sharp teeth. They're most active during spring and early summer when they're guarding nests, making them easier to locate and more willing to bite. Lingcod hit hard and fight dirty, often trying to wrap you around structure or diving straight down toward their rocky hideouts. The meat has a slightly firmer texture than Halibut but is equally delicious, and many anglers consider Lingcod the best-eating fish in Alaska waters.
Yelloweye Rockfish are the old-timers of the deep, with some specimens living over 100 years and weighing up to 30 pounds. These bright orange and yellow beauties live in rocky areas and underwater pinnacles, making them a true trophy catch. They're available year-round but fish best from June through September when they're more active and feeding heavily. Yelloweye fight with surprising strength for their size, and their prehistoric appearance makes them a favorite for photos. The meat is sweet and flaky, similar to snapper, making them highly prized for the dinner table. Catching a big Yelloweye is special because you're likely holding a fish that's been swimming these waters longer than you've been alive.
