Chief captain and director of operations Jimmy Counts was born in Tennessee, raised in a military family between Fort Walton Beach, Florida and Anchorage, and retired in 2016 after more than 25 years in the U.S. Air Force. He is a USCG-licensed captain, an IGFA tournament referee, and a certified scuba diver who runs a South Carolina charter business when not in Alaska; his halibut approach leans on constant map study and reading environmental factors.
The operation fishes six anglers per boat on all-aluminum, twin-engine boats — 3/4-day, full-day, combo, multi-species, and overnight trips for halibut, salmon, rockfish, and lingcod — with USCG-licensed crews and a stated commitment to responsible fishing.
