If you get to Homer go with Bob's Trophy Charters. They have two six pack boats and a head boat. The two six pack boats are both metal boats they are new, large and fast. One is a catamaran with huge fly bridge that will easily do 40+. I've been with these guys a few times and boxed out every time. We always go after July 1st that's when ling cod and rock fish open up. Do the killer combo ling cod, rock fish, and halibut. We ran out like 80 miles and caught rock fish that jumped out of the water to eat a lure, ling cod that were over four ft long, and halibut up to 170 pounds.
