What to Wear

Although summers can be very nice in Alaska, the weather can change very quickly.  Also, the breeze on the Cook Inlet can be very cool.  It is recommended that anglers dress warm and dry in layers.  Since a wet person is usually a cold person, rain gear and rubber footwear is highly recommended.  Successful fishing contributes to a wet deck complete with blood, scales, and slime.

What to Bring

Anglers should bring their own food, beverages, rainwear, boots, camera, and licenses (info below).  There will be a cooler on board for storing perishables.  Bait, tackle, and fishing equipment is all provided.

Note:  SPIT SISTERS CAFE and B & B, located at the harbor, will provide you with fantastic fisherman lunches at a reasonable price.  In the morning, prior to departure, you might find your captain there getting hot coffee, pastries, and visiting with live girls.  Call 907-235-4921  to have lunches made (to go) for your trip.

Licensing

A regular sport fishing license is all you need for all fish except King Salmon.  For King Salmon you need the regular license plus a King Salmon Stamp.  The following options are available for a non-resident sport fishing license:

Packaging Your Catch

Once we fillet and bag your catch for you, there is the task of processing and preserving the meat for the trip home.  There are a few places that process fish.  Most of them do a very fine job.  The two most convenient ones are Homer Fish Processing and Coal Point Trading.  Both of them will pick your fish up at the boat and do anything to lessen your burden of handling, processing, and/or shipping your fish.   Use the information below to compare prices and services.
