 Ben Martin, having grown up in the family business is now a licensed captain running charters for his second season. He is operating the “Fringe Benefit”, a 28ft GlasPly with the latest electronics and life raft. Ben loves to fish for the unusual. Halibut is our staple, but when in season he is interested it doing more of the Multi-species trips where you have a chance to catch lingcod, rockfish and silvers too.

And
let's not forget the tireless ground crew
who pick up where the captains leave off, hauling your lunkers up
to the office, weighing them, taking pictures, and filleting them
as you relax with a hot cup of coffee or a well deserved ice cold
beer at the "Salty Dawg" across the street.
Gerri Martin, taking
your bookings, juggling schedules, and making sure you leave Homer
smilin'. |
