About Hofstad Fishing Co.

Hofstad Fishing Co. was founded by Shane Hofstad, a lifelong fisherman who served 23 years in the US Air Force before turning his fishing into a Valdez charter operation. He runs it alongside captains Joshua Hughes and Terrence McCabe.

Boats with heated cabins and restrooms leave the Valdez small boat harbor for halibut, rockfish, lingcod, and king and silver salmon, with wildlife-watching and sightseeing trips as well. Hofstad's stated approach is safety first, comfort always — adapting to weather, fish behavior, and run timing rather than forcing a plan.

Background as described by the operator on their own website.
