Hunting and Fishing

Big Dan’s Fishing Charters offers the best saltwater fishing trips in Homer and Seward, plus outstanding river charters on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers of Alaska! We also offer fall Sitka Blacktail deer hunting transporter services on Kodiak Island in the fall and in Homer in the spring for black bear. We have an excellent reputation that we take pride in, and as a result our customer return rates are high. Our Homer fishing trips target 1-5 different species depending on the area fished, including halibut, salmon, rockfish, lingcod, Pacific cod, and yelloweye. In Seward we fish for halibut, salmon, Pacific cod, lingcod and rockfish. Back at home base at our lodge right on the Kenai River, we offer river charters for king, sockeye and silver salmon, as well as salmon charters on the Kasilof River. Anglers staying in one of our fully-furnished vacation homes located on our riverfront property can access the river to fish unguided right from our property. We offer competitive rates for lodging and a variety of guided charter trips. In the spring and fall, Big Dan’s focus on hunting transports, mainly for Prince William Sound black bear and Kodiak deer. These are live aboard trips with transportation and all meal provided. During the day unguided hunters take to the field then return to the boat to rest on their schedule. You can process your game with the comfort of our deck.  Fishing is an offered bonus during your Alaska hunting trips with Big Dan’s vessel-based DIY hunts.  Stay with us in in your own private 1, 2 or 3-bedroom fully equipped vacation rental at our riverfront lodge in Soldotna. There you can access the river from our property or fish right from our custom platforms with an added covered outdoor dining area right on the river. From the lodge you can fish unguided and have everything you need to process your catch. We’ve even got gear you can borrow to make your fishing stay even easier.
