Prince William Sound offers world class fishing opportunities in protected waters with breathtaking scenery and abundant wildlife. Although close to Anchorage, none of the locations we fish are road accessible which limit the number of fishermen. We are often the only boat anchored in a cove or bay, the only people fishing in a stream, cove or passage - an unequaled fishing experience.

David Pinquoch, owner of Alaska Good Time Charters LLC, has been offering guided fishing charters in Prince William Sound since 1991. David started fishing in Alaska in 1962, at the age of 5. In 1985 he began fishing in Prince William Sound- he has the experience to make a difference in your fishing success.

"If the fish won't come to the lodge, take the lodge to the fish."

Alaska Good Time Charters LLC specializes in custom 4 and 5 day guided fishing adventures. Choose an all fishing adventure or combine fishing with sightseeing or unguided hunting. Our Alaska fishing charters are live-aboard, our yacht acts as our floating mobile lodge which allows us to access the best fishing in Prince William Sound. We are not limited each day by distance from a port or lodge which gives you more time to fish.

Fishing options include deep sea fishing for halibut, rock fish, ling cod and salmon sharks. Salt and fresh water fishing is available for salmon, dolly varden and cutthroat trout. More times than not, we limit out when fishing for salmon. We often throw back halibut because our guests have all they want to bring home. Fishing takes place on our 50' yacht, from beaches and in fresh water streams. Prince William Sound is protected from the Gulf of Alaska and usually provides calm water for Alaska fishing. Nights are spent anchored in protected coves which can provide additional fishing opportunities.

June 10th to September 10th is traditionally the best time to fish for salmon and halibut on the same trip. Ling Cod season opens July 1st. May and early June can provide excellent fishing, although catching is less consistent. Early season charters work great combined with hunting or sightseeing.

We now offer 2 very different boats to experience Prince William Sound fishing - aboard our luxury 50' yacht Good Times or aboard our 40' vessel Fools' Gold, bare boat style. Each boat carries up to 6 passengers on multi-day trips.

Good Times, our 50' yacht, offers a crew of 2, meals, fishing guides, fish cleaning, tackle, bait, ice, bedding and more - just show up, we'll take care of the rest. Our 50' yacht offers 3 private cabins, 2 heads, 2 showers, and a covered deck for less than perfect days. Trips are usually 4 or 5 days, although shorter and longer trips are possible.

Fool's Gold, our 40' vessel, offers an ala carte/do-it-yourself option with less luxury and comfort at a lower price. We provide the boat and Captain, you have the option of bringing your own sleeping bags, groceries, bait, ice, etc., or we can provide these items for an additional fee. You pay for the fuel actually used and pay deck hand wages if you prefer to have someone do the cooking and cleaning. Fool's Gold has 2 open sleeping areas with limited privacy, 1 head, no shower. Outside decks are excellent for fishing and sightseeing. Trips available from 2 to 5 days.

We are based at the port of Whittier, 60 miles south of Anchorage and are road accessible. We can accommodate up to 6 fishermen. Parties larger than 6 can be accommodated using two boats. Parties of 2 - 3 can charter the boat exclusively or be combined with another party.
