I Fish Haines Alaska is the premier charter sport fishing and sightseeing operator in Haines, Alaska. We fish for halibut, cod, rockfish in the Lynn Canal. I’m Vinny Simkin, your fully licensed captain, host and guide. I’m the guy in the picture who just caught that giant halibut. For me, even a bad day of fishing is a good day of work!

(Book Now) How to Get Here
I love to get out on the water and I’d like nothing better than to take you with me. I have spent countless hours and days in the waters around Haines and I’ve learned all the prime spots (with a little help from my friends). But I won’t take you there – everyone around here knows them. I want to share some of my secrets with you. I‘ll hook you up with a full day charter or customize an entire vacation for you, your family and friends.
My boat, the “Peggy Sue”, is a 42’ Uniflite sport fishing cruiser (which includes a 4′ fishing platform) that can accommodate six guests, sleep 6, has a full galley (you know – kitchen) and a full bathroom. I’ve got more rods, reels and tackle than you could ever imagine. Survival suits, life preservers and a life boat, too. Your safety is just part of having a great time on the water.
You’ll need an Alaska Department of Fish and Game Sport Fishing License. Shop here to purchase the licenses that best suit your needs. You’ll be out on the water a lot quicker when you have your license printed and signed before you board. We can open the store and print your license for you on board if you forget to purchase in advance.
Lunch is part of the deal on all our full day adventures and there are always plenty of snacks on board. We’ll cut up your fish and offer vacuum sealing, and freezing. We can recommend selected shipping service providers to send your catch back home. Prices vary on weight and services.
For 2021, in order to best conform to recent changes in Charter Halibut Management regulations, we will offer our Great Day of Fishing full day charters for private groups of up to 6 anglers. Regulations for 202o demanded that guided charters be closed on Wednesdays throughout the season. Update for 2021 still pending. Ask us about our very Alaskan charter fishing and lodging packages.

After fishing, or sightseeing, or taking in any of the great out door adventures around Haines, you can relax on our deck and soak in the view.
