We had a group of four go out with Captain Daniel two days in a row. It was a new experience for 3 of us, we left already talking about next time. Julie, the deckhand was amazing. She worked hard checking lines, adjusting depth, helping Captain Dan in instructing us, (I for one required a lot of coaching and patience), and filleting our catch. We all limited each day. They marked our group's fish so we knew the difference between ours and others on the boat with cuts on the tail. Daniel also has an apartment for rent. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the cow moose and her calves in the yard. read more

I've been on about 10 fishing charters out of Homer over the last 3 years and by far this is the worst experience. Not one person caught salmon. Salmon set up on the boat is missing the 2 upper rods or the captain was too lazy to set them up. Only 3 out of 6 people caught 2 halibut and all except 1 were under. My son and I caught 3 cods, 2 of them were the largest ones, the other 4 people caught 4 smaller cod. The captain decided to divide cod equally between all instead of giving the fish to those who caught it. And on top of that used some of the cod we caught as bait! Not once did they check to see if any of the fisherman still had the bait... When I've caught my last halibut that was my second under, I've asked the captain how much longer we are going to be fishing in that spot and he told me that at least an hour. So I've decided not to keep it. Less than 30 min later, he decided to try fishing in a different spot that was even worse than the first one. I would give him negative 5 stars if I could!!!! PS Daniel first said that he would refund our money in full but once I asked for 50% refund, he refused read more
