We spent 3 days fishing with Dave and Kathy. We caught a variety of fish - Silver salmon, Rockfish, Lingcod, King salmon, Halibut. Captain Dave was very knowledgeable and entertaining.... read more He was very patient with me as a beginner. The equipment was top notch and boat was very clean and neat!

  A great day fishing - Dave and Kathy were such lovely hosts on their delightful boat the Aurora. We had a beautiful day out on the water and caught lots of fish, including halibut, rockfish... read more and cod.

  Went in September 2020- last charter of the season and we out with a bang! Made sure I had a great experience. Caught Kings, Slivers, Halibut, Sole, rockfish,... read more Cod! Shipped a ton back home. Loved Captain Dave- my kind of guy. Will be working like crazy to be able to go back and fish in Kodiak with Captain Dave and the crew!

  I gave 5 stars because Day 1 of 2 was pretty awesome. Dave knows what and where to go he will move fish different depths he will find fish... read more caught some halibut,salmon, cod rockfish!Got to see a lot of wildlife as well ! Day 2 Steve was the captain well all I’m gonna say is HUGE DIFFERENCE ! Make sure Dave’s your captain!

  My back and arms hurt from reeling in all the fish we caught. Limited on halibut, and destroyed the cod. My face hurt from all the laughing... read more and smiling. Captian Dave was an amazing captian. He took the time to point out the history of the island while we were heading to fishing ground. The stories and history made the hour trip go quick.

Most amazing part is when we got back to port with our catch he drove us to the processing plant. They took our fish of the deck and processed our paperwork. The agreement was to have it processed and flash frozen before our flight the next day. When we got back to the place we were staying we received a call from the plant. They told us that it was not going to be done by the time we flew out, but they could ship it to us. First off they wouldn’t process for three days. That would taint the meat.

Captian Dave went and picked up our catch and processed it himself for us. (It took about 5 hours) he then vacuumed sealed and froze for us at his OWN house! We picked it up the next day and took it on the plane with us.

It was the most impeccable customer service I have ever had. If you want the true Kodiak fishing trip with the best customer service, and outright a fun guy to fish with.....I would highly suggest going out with Dave.

P.s. the music selection was awesome.

Thanks captian Dave. Can’t wait to go out with you again.

  We were already on Kodiak and called Dave on a Thursday Night, he said "you will catch more and bigger salmon than you can handle, I will put you on... read more the fish". Was he ever right! We rode out on the Aurora his new boat in comfort. Listened to music on the way out and once we were there we didn't stop catching until it was time to go home. We limited out on Silvers almost a limit of kings, plenty of pinks, cod, halibut and RockFish. People were calling Dave on the radio to figure out where they should come fish! Dave his wife and son were all very professional and definitely new what was going on. There was no foul language or captains/mates smoking on the boat like most other charters. Sky was a mate on point, we had lines in the water more then any other boat, and the results showed. I have been on many other charters both in Alaska and elsewhere, and I will say with confidence you will be very hard pressed to find a better captain and crew. I will recommend Fish and Chips to everyone I talk to going to Kodiak. If you want to stack the box, give fish and chips a call!

  Captain Dave, and his son Sky are the A-team of Kodiak Alaska charter fishing! We've been fishing with Captain Dave since the '90's and he just keeps getting better!... read more Our fishing team of five avid fishers were put on fish all day long, starting with limits of kings and silvers / then on to limits of halibut, and spiced up our bag with some Alaska cod, and topped off with black cod, yumm!!!
Sky kicked butt as a deck hand, diligently keeping our downriggers humming 🙂
It was a wonderful trip, and our entire group thanks you for all of your efforts / can't wait to get back on the water again!!! There is no one else we would ever consider fishing with in Kodiak on a charter, other than Captain Dave!
Fish on!!! Dan Littleton

  Excellent experience! Captain Dave got us everything we needed to rip lips. I enjoyed the trip all 2 hours it took to completely full the fish bin! You gotta book... read more with this charter.

  Had a phenomenal day fishing with Captain Dave and first mate, Jesse aka the Dragon! The party started as soon as Capt. Dave boarded the boat! Full of enthusiasm, great... read more (loud) music, and tons of fish. Got our limit of halibut, and rockfish and there were plenty of cod to be …

  We did 2 days with Captain Dave in Early July, landed Kings, silvers, Halibut, and Rock Fish. Saw Wales and other marine life. The boat was nicely outfitted, ... read more top notch gear, comfortable cabin plus clean and tidy. All fishing was within a few miles of harbor, no long runs. Would definitely recommend Fish N Chips charters. I've lived and fished in Alaska for over 50 Years, Kodiak is great fishing compared to most Alaska ports.
