Alaskan Widespread Fishing – Power Boat
Alaskan Widespread Fishing – Power Boat
“Come as a client and leave as a friend” is more than a motto for Alaskan Widespread Fishing Adventures – it is a business and personal practice. Most of the people that come and fish with Mindy and Reubin and their crew, love fishing. If you love to fish, you already have a common bond!
Join Mindy and Reubin and their certified captains to explore the world-famous Kenai River and Alaskan famous fisheries, targeting King, Coho, Pink, and Sockeye Salmon, as well as Arctic Char, Steelhead, and Rainbow Trout in season. Your guide will show you the top local techniques to hook your catch, including trolling, back bouncing, casting, drifting, wading, and fly fishing.
While peak season is from May to October, Alaskan Widespread Fishing Adventures can take you on a trip to remember at any time of year.
You will be fishing aboard a 20’ Willie Predator power boat, built back in 2007 and overhauled in 2020. It comes powered by a single Yamaha engine and can accommodate up to 4-5 anglers. The boat is rigged with a GPS, a fishfinder to aid your search for the fish, and a cooler loaded with bait (when open) to make sure nothing can resist your hooks.
The trips with Alaskan Widespread are all-inclusive; all you have to bring is a valid fishing license, your food, and drinks.

We spent the day on the Kasilof River with Captain Hunter, Jordan, and Noah. We caught two nice Sockeye Salmon on a relaxing float down the river. The crew were knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks for a nice trip.
Thank you for the thoughtful review Robert. We really appreciate your business and the captains said they really enjoyed fishing with you today.
I spoken with a couple of old timers and they said that even though it was a record year for sockeye at Kenai River, its generally pretty easy to catch sockeye. They called it flossing but it essentially snagging fish. We fished the day before the charter at the Visitor Center, the gentlemen fishing next to us, walked us through the basics. Its a pretty simple rig and technique. We bank fished a few other spots after the charter, wherever you wet a line, you catch a fish. We paid north of 1k including tip for a eight hour charter that lasted a couple of hours. We had a short boat ride and fished one spot next to another boat. I would not recommend booking a charter for sockeye salmon fishing on the Kenai River, unless it happens to be excessively crowded along the public accessible fishing spots or you missed the main run. Its daylight from 4-5 to 10-11, chances are you will be able to find a spot to bank fish. You can get decent inexpensive gear from Amazon. Fly rod, waders, club, collapsible 5 gallon bucket, stringer, floor mat to clean fish, fillet knife, club, and a packable net. 20-30 lb leader, 3/4 weight, and #2-3 hook. Everybody is catching their limit. I booked the charter six months in advance, I did not catch the email where they changed the river location until the day before. When I called, they promptly said it was not an issue and we fished the river we booked. Captain was nice and he shared some good stories and offered advice. He netted and cleaned the fish. He was on time and professional. The drift boat and equipment was good! Good experience!
This was our first Alaska fishing trip and it was a blast! Our guide, Trevin, was super knowledgeable and made sure that our first Alaska salmon fishing experience was one to remember. I’ll for sure be booking another trip with Alaskan Widespread in the future.
Got a limit very fast. Very much enjoyed the trip. Highly recommend those guys!
Thank you Alex!!! We really appreciate your support and review! You are a sockeye salmon smasher !!!!
Kacey was awesome, we caught a lot of fish and had great time. Would definitely recommend!
