Fairmont Native Thrives in Alaskan Fishing Charters
By [Your Name]
FAIRMONT – Jacob Lemon, a Fairmont native, is kicking off his third successful year running fishing charters in Alaska with his business, Jake’s Saltwater Adventures. A 2012 graduate of Fairmont High School and a trained commercial pilot, Lemon experienced a career pivot after losing his job at Kahler Automation. Inspired by his passion for fishing, he decided to invest in a fishing boat and pursue chartering in Alaska.
After visiting Alaska multiple times with family, Lemon established his base in Homer, where he now operates two 30-foot boats, employing his father and cousin. The charters, which typically accommodate four to six people, offer guests the chance to fish for halibut, rockfish, and salmon during the bustling tourist season. Clients often leave with 20 to 50 pounds of frozen catch ready for their journeys home.
New offerings this year include bear viewing trips by boat, with hopes to expand to aerial excursions in the future. Lemon emphasizes that travel to Alaska is more accessible than many think and encourages those interested to learn more at his website, jakessaltwateradventures.com.
Though he enjoys the Alaskan wilderness, Lemon looks forward to his return to Minnesota, cherishing both places for their unique beauty.
