Awesome Guide
Great trip! This trip could have flopped with any other outfit. On August 10, my son and I were on the six person boat with Manny as our guide. In route to the fishing area we had to turn back due to bad weather and a rough sea state. Manny found a protected spot where we fished for several hours and the boat caught its limit of yellow eye. The weather cleared in the afternoon and Manny moved locations and we caught halibut, cod and then Silver Salmon. Some fishing boats didn’t leave Whittier due to the morning weather. I highly recommend Crazy Rays’s and Manny. They have excellent fishing equipment and Manny is a top-notch a guide who knows where the fish are and how to catch them. My number one choice in Whittier!

Crazy Good Charter
We just returned from a week of fishing on the Kenai Peninsula and we chose Crazy Ray for our saltwater charter. My wife and I have been on a dozen or so saltwater charters which is enough to know that this is a top of line operation. Why I liked it: 1. The fishing is great. Our boat kept 20 halibut, 20+ cod, a few yellow-eye and a salmon. Ray knows his waters and filled up our freezer. 2. The Strait Crazy is a beautiful (and newer) boat with plenty of room and space to comfortably spend the day. Kept very clean too. 3. Father/Son operation of Ray and Noah worked hard all day (650am to 650pm) to ensure we all caught our halibut limit and did so with a smile. 4. BONUS—the Prince William Sound waters are very flat. Zero swells means the whole boat was enjoying their day. Many of the other parties we met traveling this week were taking halibut charters out of Seward or Homer, but I would encourage folks to take a look at Crazy Rays in Whittier when building out their ideal itinerary. If you tip a bit extra he will tell you how he became so crazy...

One of the best fishing trips I’ve ever been on
My father in law chartered a boat for an overnight fishing trip with me, my husband, my mother in law and my 2 boys ages 9&11. We had Captain Manny as our guide and boy did we have a BLAST! The weather gods smiled on us and it was smooth sailing on the water. The boat was comfortable, and everything ran smoothly. Captain Manny knew just where to take us to put us in fish and was a great technique teacher as I am not familiar with halibut or rockfish fishing. I did not know that halibut love 80s music lol ;0) He was so kind to my boys and really helped my youngest feel included and important by having him help with stuff around the boat. We fished all day and caught so much halibut and rockfish, without catching out of season fish like lingcod- not an easy thing to do. He obviously knew what he was doing, was very capable and genuinely seemed to love his job. I felt like we were in good hands should a problem arise. We stayed overnight at Port Ashton Lodge (amazing, totally check them out too!) and then fished our way back to Whittier in time for the 5oclock tunnel, including a 59” halibut for me- definitely the biggest fish I ever caught. We saw humpbacks spouting, jellyfish, eagles, otters and truly incredible scenery. We’re looking at dates for when we can go again, although we may have to buy another freezer!
