United States Coast Guard licensed and insured since 1996, Captain Tom provides more than a decade of experience guiding fishermen in the coastal waters of Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet. Skilled in the use of navigation electronics, GPS, Radar, and Marine Radio, he knows how to find the fish! According to Tom, "After hundreds of trips with the right equipment, the ocean floor reads like a detailed road map. Full of landmarks, it offers clear clues to locate my goal: Excellent fishing for all my clients! Halibut Hunters Charters is a family fishing operation! Captain Tom mans the helm, finds the fish, and provides expert fishing instruction. Deckhanding for his dad since age 10, Captain Tom's son Jack baits hooks, gaffs and nets fish, pulls anchor, and assists the fishing crew on board in every way possible.?Always ready with smiles, wife Rachel is the "guide on the side", managing the books and the bookings, while daughter Kaylynn applies the "spit n' polish" to keep the boat clean and tidy for each day's trip. Day's end often finds Grandpa and Grandma Bunnell meeting the boat, ready to take pictures of the daily catch, and to cheer for the biggest fish.
