Sounds like your charter captain just went to closest chicken patch. Too bad. While I've had a few chickens, the 60+ lbers really put up a nice fight. We've also gotten ling cod, P-cod, rockfish. They all eat good. We have gone out of Seward & Juneau. Alaska is an awesome place! Cool

My brothers-in-law didn't want to fish! But humored me by agreeing to a 1/2 day. So we went out to the "chicken field." No time to go further. I still had a blast, and caught some nice cod too!

Next time I go, I'll be bringing empty coolers to fill with salmon and caribou steak!

I went halibut fishing out of Homer at the end of last June. We caught many small halibut, and I had three 15-pounders cleaned and shipped home. Great eating fish!! Catching them was not so much fun. It was like pulling up a 4X8 sheet of 3/4 inch plywood through 120 feet of water, with my line attached to an eyebolt in the middle of the sheet. Damn hard work. I can't imagine how hard it would be to pull up a big one!

But it was great fun, and exciting to see whales swim past our boat as we fished!

Bucket list filled.
