The only guy I would recommend is Bill Jones that runs "Admiral Charters". I ran with him for 8 years straight while living there. The best operator in Seward- Hands down. He runs a big old Navy rescue boat, that he converted, twin diesels- it gets up and hauls butt for sure. His boat could fish easy 12 but he will only book 6. His customer service is spot on the best, my Dad went only twice and still receives a card from Bill each Christmas. He really cares about what he does. You won't get him being late or hung over and he is story teller that makes the trip so totally cool... He is an older guy early 70's with his son middle 40's as deck hand. Sorry but stay away from non-local guides or you're going to get chicken holes just outside the bay opening, ask if they are local -aka residents guides.. And of course avoid those with the 20 client boats- chicken hole pros! Bill will tailor the trip for you, mid July is prime time for a great combo trip. The best part of his trip is he plays Jaws music every time your into a 100+ fish... He is a legend there in Seward!
