“Fantastic King, Halibut & Sockeye Fishing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 February 2012

I wanted my son to experience the great sights and fishing in Alaska and Jimmie Jack’s made it a dream come true. The lodge was very nice and the people very friendly. A delicious breakfast was served each morning and you will need it when reeling in a giant king. The guides were all not notch and worked hard to catch fish. The sockeye run was great and took some practice but once we got the hang of it we loaded up. The fly out is a must to see bears and great scenery.

Room Tip: There are several choices of rooms to choose from and a nice large room upstairs with kitchen and fa...

“Kenai King”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011

It was hard to find a place to take a solo. But I found Jimmie Jacks a couple of years ago and have been there twice and will return again. All those involved with this lodge are friendly and really make your stay enjoyable. The rooms were very nice, the food great, and a very relaxing place to stay. Wish I could go back every year but it gives me something to look forward to.

“Fly Out Silver Trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Even though this was a couples trip, it was business. Our first fly out for silvers and it was a blast. From the flight over to the limits of silvers, what an experience! After the fishing was completed, we toured the "bear area" and witnessed a black bear feeding from a stream - what a sight! The return flight was an unexpected pleasure - an aerial tour of a magnificent glacier!
This was my fourth experience with Jimmie Jack ( twice on the Kenai and once on the Kasilof )and after nearly 30 years of dealing with outfitters and guides multiple times each year, you really can't go wrong with his guides, expertise and offerings. He represents the product for what it is and that's the way it is! The location.........it's Alaska!!!

Thanks, Jimmie!

“Boat Load”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2011

Jimmie Jack, I just want to send a note to say how pleased we were with your operation. Our Alaska trip, which included Halibut, saltwater kings, Kenai Kings, Dollys, Rainbow Trout, Red Sockeye, and we even got to pull a Wolf Eel up off the ocean floor, was highlighted a week ago today with our charter at Jimmie Jacks. Our guide Jacob was excellent, very professional, enthusiastic and personable as well. He gave us good instruction, safety measures and did I forget to mention boating 4 kings by 11 am that day !! That included my dad landing about a 45 lb king on his birthday ! We were all ecstatic and Jake did a great job, he even went the extra mile in helping us get the fillets prepared for our coolers.



Bottom line is I'm sure this doesn't happen every day but it worked out great this time. So I just wanted to express our satisfaction with your outfit and you guide Jacob. We hope to be back soon and would definitely recommend to others Jimmie Jacks Charter service.



Thanks a million.

“Best in Alaska”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2011

Went King Salmon fishing. Only boat to catch two King Salmon that day. David Drake was our guide. "CatDaddy" worked hard to get our fish and make the day enjoyable. What a treat. Their boats are custom made and outshine all the rest.

If you go with another guide service, you will be disappointed.
