Tour info
Why take this tour?
About this adventure: In Southeast Alaska and Icy Strait in particular, are some of the best fishing grounds around. Not only do they have big halibut but records show that one fisherman caught his biggest catch inside these waters! You won't want to miss out on all those delicious fresh Alaskan salmon either. Hoonah is just a stones throw from Icy Strait so no time is wasted getting to the fishing grounds and the hooks down! Your captain is the maritime folk hero Captain Billy. He is a local legend in his home of Hoonah, Alaska. With an eye-catching Tlingit name like Deikee Jaak of the Eagle/Shark House, it's not hard to see how this man has been so instrumental for generations on the waters off the Icy Strait. Having begun his fishing journey in the waters of South East Alaska and Icy Strait with his uncles, grandfather, and father at a young age, Captain Billy's knowledge of area waters is unsurpassed and his desire to share it with you is second to none! About the boat: The Silver Spoon is a 36 foot custom aluminum catamaran made by Munson Co Inc. The catamaran hull makes for a nice, fast ride and stable fishing platform. She is fully equipped with all available safety gear and state of the art electronics. She has a heated cabin with comfortable seating for all and a marine head/restroom. She is outfitted with Twin Yamaha 250 Outboards which makes getting to the fishing grounds a short ride!
