Captain Jos was born and raised in Alaska, has spent most of his life in and around Ketchikan, and states nearly three decades fishing the islands and channels within about a 100 mile radius of town. He has fished commercially as well as sport and recreationally, and the business is registered as Alaska Go Fish, LLC. It holds a charter halibut permit, which under the regional rules is what allows a charter operator's guests to keep halibut rather than release them. Beyond halibut, trips take king, silver, pink and chum salmon depending on the season, plus lingcod and rockfish, which the owner names as his own preference at the table. The operation runs as a small fleet rather than a single boat: Jos brings in other captains and states he expects the same familiarity with the area from each of them, and the boats are chosen for speed so less of the day is spent running to the grounds. Guests staying longer in Ketchikan are pointed toward a partner cabin operator in town. A fishing report page on the site tracks recent conditions, and inquiries go through a contact form or directly to the captain by phone or email.
