Q&A

Q: What should we wear for the halibut fishing charter? Is it cold out on the water?

A: I'd recommend dressing in layers. It can get chilly out on the water, especially in Hoonah, even in the summer. A windbreaker and comfortable shoes are a must. Don't forget a hat and sunglasses to protect from glare. You might also want to bring rain gear just in case!

Q: Can kids join this fishing experience? What’s the age limit?

A: Yes, kids can definitely join! There’s no strict age limit, but younger ones should be accompanied by adults. We had a family with a 9-year-old on our trip, and the crew was super accommodating. Just check with the provider for any specific age recommendations.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on our fishing day? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather is unsafe, the crew will usually call to reschedule. They’re super experienced and know when it’s best to stay off the water. You can generally reschedule for another day without a problem, but definitely check their policy when you book.

Thinking of gifting halibut fishing in Hoonah – any tips?

Hey everyone! I’m considering getting a half day halibut fishing experience for my dad's birthday. He’s always been into fishing but has never done it in Alaska. What should I know? Also, how’s the catch-and-release process? I want him to have the best time possible!

Just got back from halibut fishing – here’s my review!

Just finished a half day halibut fishing trip with Ear Mountain Charters and WOW, what an experience! The guys were super knowledgeable, and we had a blast catching our limit. Shipping the fish home was super easy too! If you’re in Hoonah, this is a must-do. Can’t wait to go again!
