Jimmie Jack’s Willie Boats

Experience the luxury of fishing in the most modern boats on the Kenai River. Jimmie Jack’s exclusively uses “Simply the Best” boats on the water…Willie Boats. Experience the Jimmie Jack difference, and fish in style!
Big Iron
Big Iron is our 33 foot Hatco named by Andy Anderson. Andy was a fighter pilot and flew the plane named “Big Iron”. Andy was the first deckhand aboard the boat under Captain Dave Gillikin, and gave her the powerful name! Andy is still a local deckhand in Ninilchik, and you may spot him proudly wearing his “Big Iron” hoodie around town. Her twin motors get you to the fishing grounds fast at 28 knots with ample seating for six passengers.
Unforgiven
Jimmie Jack’s good friend, Captain Frank Sanders, named her, and will not tell us why. Captain Charlie learned the trade from Captain Frank was his deckhand aboard Unforgiven for years before becoming the accomplished captain that he is today. Thanks Frank! If you see Captain Frank around, be sure and ask him the reason for the name. Her twin motors get you to the fishing grounds fast at 30 knots with ample seating for six passengers.
POGO
Jimmie Jack’s new addition to the fleet is in Homer, Alaska. Homer is known as the “Halibut Capital of the World.” “Pogo” is a 35 foot Bay Weld with twin Volvo diesels for extended range. Bay Weld boats are known for their strong commercial style hull and ability to give you a smooth ride on the saltwater. In Homer we take you out for to the big fish on our Saltwater Combo Trip. Here you have the opportunity for halibut, rockfish, lingcod, and salmon in the Gulf of Alaska. Enjoy a fishing trip out of beautiful Homer, Alaska!
Willie Drift Boats
Our Kasilof River guides will take you down the “drift-only” area of the Kasilof River in a 20′ drift boat. These boats will comfortable accommodate 4 persons. They are the largest drift boats made. Our experienced Kasilof River guides will row you down the majestic Kasilof River. The peace and quiet of the “non-motorized” section of the Kasilof river will only be broken by the splash of your King Salmon on the line!
