Fishing Aboard the "GUSTO"

The Gusto is a strong stable craft extremely well suited for the waters of the Gulf of Alaska, Resurrection Bay. F/V Gusto provides fast and comfortable passage to some of Alaska’s most scenic and productive halibut, salmon, and rockfish fishing grounds. Gusto is a custom built 30’ sportfisher designed specifically for halibut and salmon charters in Alaska. She is powered by twin 200 H.P. turbo-charged Volvo-Penta diesels. She cruises at 24 knots.

Inside the cabin you will find spacious seating, including a settee and bench seat plus the V-berth allowing short naps, a roomy stand-up head with fresh water and plenty of room for large coolers. I carry a maximum of six passengers to ensure personal service and the most enjoyable fishing.

Gusto is outfitted for safety and fishing ease. Comprehensive electronic equipment on board include a Raytheon 16 mile radar, Trimble NavTrack GPS with plotter, Ross Loran C, Furuno 585 Fathometer, two VHF and CB radios. The Coast Guard installed a Differential GPS station for our area which corrects the error in a GPS position down from +/- 150' to less than a boat length, so installed on the Gusto is a receiver to pick up those corrected positions.

Custom built Alaska Series Penn stand up rods are available to suit the angler and Penn and Newel 6/0 reels with 80# spectra line provide an unbeatable combination. Gusto although well equipped encourages anglers to bring along their favorite gear, bait, etc.

The 750# fish box is fully insulated and selfdraining. It is located below deck giving you lots of room to play and sometimes struggle with the “catch of the day”. Halibut, black bass, red rock fish are caught April through Oct. Silver, Pink and King Salmon are caught July through Sept. Usually July 1st is the opening for Ling Cod which are excellent fighting and eating fish.
