Where to start... First off, I booked this trip as a Christmas present to my seventy year old…read moreFather who had always talked about wanting to fish in Alaska. I knew he would never do it for himself and if we didn't do it soon, we may never actually get to it. There are a lot of choices out there. After narrowing it down to three, I called and left voicemail's asking for more info. Not only was Jimmie Jack's the first to call back, but they actually sounded like they cared. I talked to Kevin and asked about every cliched question I could think of. He took the time to walk me through everything and made sure I knew this was the right fit. The next day I booked the "Signature Seven" package and the excitement started to grow. Without getting in to a ridiculous amount of detail, I just want to put in emphasis on how great this place is. Everything was taken care of for us. We were booked on all the right types of trips. Directions to boats were given. The staff [EVERYONE!] was incredible and friendly in the most genuine of ways. From Captain Charlie and Cooper, making sure we got to the right spots to get my Dad a 60# Halibut, Captain Dan taking the time to teach me proper technique to catch more fish than anyone else on the boat out in Homer, Jo and Scott taking the time to work through rain and cold to try and get us our King Salmon limits, and last, but not least, Tony literally getting hooked in the face by some random dude in our group, but keeping a positive attitude and teaching us all how to slay the Sockeye. They were all total badasses! They worked hard to make sure we had the best time out on the water we could have and on a trip like this, with the smiles and memories we got to carry home with us, let alone like 300# of fish, they deserve more praise than I could ever give them. Finally, deserving her own special paragraph, there was Phyllis. The "Lodge Mama," keeping us well fed and caffeinated every morning, Phyllis was the kind of person that immediately makes an impact on you and is someone you know you are going to miss before you even leave. She'd greet you with a smile and a hug in the morning and she went above and beyond what her position called for to make sure you knew you were making a genuine connection with someone that really cared about your well-being and wanted to know the real you. She described our encounters as divine intervention, and while some may scoff at such a fleeting moment, I truly feel blessed to have had her in my life for the 7 days. Crazy as it may be to believe, even after only a week, it was hard to say goodbye. She made this trip more special by just being herself and if you are lucky enough to ever meet her, cherish that moment. It will not be one you soon forget or ever take for granted. Are there cheaper trips out there? Of course there are. Could you arrange all the trips we went out on, on your own? Undoubtedly. Could you find your own lodging? Definitely. Should you though? No way. If you are going up North for your first time and you want all the little things worked out for you in the most streamlined and convenient way possible, this is the place to be. Plus, you get to meet the best people throughout the process! You can't put a price-tag on that. Do yourself a favor and call Jimmie Jack's today. I promise you that you not regret it.

The BEST! I researched all of the other companies in the area and I am soo glad I chose RiverRise!…read moreThe experience was amazing. I picked RiverRise because I wanted my mom to have the best experience, but also have access to help when needed. Captain Nickolas not only made sure fish were caught, but he helped us throughout the entire process. He provides everything you could possibly need and even helps prepare the fish at the end. We got to eat the salmon we caught when we got home and it was sooo good. After fishing we got to have a gorgeous float back. He even helped us navigate the processing of the other fish, and shipping them back home. I am a firm believer that a company's values and a guide/captain make or break a memory. I am so glad I chose RiverRise and will return next summer! If you are trying to narrow down the several options, just choose RiverRise and rest easy :)

We went out of Seward on the 4th week of June for Silver Salmon in resurrection bay. It was a limited load to a maximum of 5 anglers. We happened to be the only two on that trip. Our guide's name was Mark he was very experienced a knowledgeable about fishing. He provided excellent service and complimentary fish cleaning. We both caught our limits after even after losing four silvers while reeling them in which was completely our fault. We also caught two pink salmon and we caught over a dozen Pollocks which were all released. Would highly recommend them to anybody.

The temperature was in the high 60s and the beach had a few people in it and it had a beautiful view of the nearby mountains.

Our recent family camping trip to the Kenai River Dipnet Area was unfortunately a terrible…read moreexperience. It seems there might have been recent rule changes, but the myriad of regulations in place definitely made our visit miserable.We went with a large group of 10 family members, including kids, and were charged nearly $300 for three SUVs and a small U-Haul trailer. To our dismay, we discovered that trailers aren't allowed past the parking lot--not even to the designated loading and unloading area. Additionally, you can't bring your vehicle to the designated camping spot without risking a citation.Unaware of this, we brought our SUV to the camping site and began setting up. Just 30 minutes later, two officers informed us of the rule. This meant we had to unload everything from the beach entrance and carry it half a mile to our camping spot. Essentially, we paid a hefty fee for parking lot space a mile away from where we were supposed to camp.Another frustrating rule is the fishing restriction: no fishing is allowed from 11 PM to 6 AM. This severely limited our fishing opportunities and added to our dissatisfaction.We wish we had been informed about these rules before being charged. Had we known, we would have turned around and gone to Kasilof instead. My advice to the management is to provide a detailed list of beach rules before taking people's money. This would prevent others from facing the same unpleasant surprise we did.Overall, the experience was a waste of time and money, and we left feeling extremely disappointed.
