Captain Olan and Alaskan Endeavor Charters Gear

With decades of experience as both a commercial and a charter fishermen, Captain Olan and Alaskan Endeavor Charters is proud to be your guide in catching fish. The F/V Alaskan Endeavor is a 32-foot walkaround Almar Sounder with plenty of room to spread out for our favorite technique of mooching for salmon, but also an ample aft for trolling or soaking bait on anchor. Our guests appreciate the heated, enclosed cabin plus plenty of room to fish. The vessel is powered by twin Yamaha 250-hp four strokes and is fully equipped with state-of-the-art electronics and safety gear. Alaska Endeavor Charters’ fishing will always maintain the highest standards for success on the water. This includes outfitting the boat with quality gear that is technique specific for the fishery.

Mooching is our favorite method to fish salmon in the saltwater on these Sitka fishing charters. We use G•Loomis EX-6 Salmon/Steelhead Mooching rods with Shimano Tekotas for that setup. For halibut we have custom rods paired with Accurate Reels plus electric Tanacom 1000’s by Daiwa for assistance on those big flatfish.
