Our halibut charter with Reel Em Inn was outstanding. Captain Eric went above and beyond to ensure a fun, successful trip, and the catch-prep and shipping process was smooth and easy. Their passion for fishing and guest experience is clear. Highly recommend and would gladly return!

Eric, was an amazing charter captain. He is very knowledgeable about how to fish for halibut. I was impressed with how patient he was with everyone on the boat . His boat the Undertaker is impressive. We had a wonderful experience with Eric and would highly recommend him. He put us on fish and we limited out with 50-75 lb Halibut. Caught ,cleaned and vacuum sealed. Thank you . Ross Lunderville, Menomonie ,Wi.

Went fishing with Mr. Eric and it was absolutely a blast! The weather was fair, but the captain was very knowledgeable and put is in the best position to have the perfect day! We ended up all catching more than enough fish and eventually we were catching fish just for the fun of it. We will never forget our time fishing with Eric and definitely recommend him and his team for your fishing trip.

Highly recommend. I’ve used a number of charters and Eric is top notch. Very knowledgeable and worked hard to put us on fish. Great day of fishing and the views are also fantastic. Everyone on the boat was catching fish. Eric is very patient and a class act. A very memorable trip.

The Boat Captains are top notch here. They put you on fish! And not just little ones! Their network is the in crowd here. They have their finger on the pulse of what is going on between Ninilchik and Homer. If one place is to windy they will find a different spot to launch and still fish. Their accommodations are more than adequate. I not only caught limits but larger fish too. You feed yourself here so buy your food and bring it. There is a very cool outdoor kitchen. Fire ring! And if the weather is not cooperating they will help you get on the river for salmon.
