Valdez Saltwater Adventures
Valdez Saltwater Adventures
Book your next trip with Valdez Saltwater Adventures and find out what you're missing in Valdez.
You're likely to go after Halibut, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Black Rockfish, Rockfish, Lingcod, Cod, and more with any luck.
During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
You'll be casting lines from a 32' North River pilothouse with room for 6 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 10–20% tip is customary.
You will need to buy a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
A few items to bring include bottled water, sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Captain Tom is the captain we all hope we get when we book a charter. He was very knowledgeable, great sense of humor, and was willing to do whatever he could to ensure the fishing was good and everyone aboard was having a good time.
Fish weren’t biting well today, but we only tried two spots, I felt like we should have try a couple different spots to see if we could catch a few, but we didn’t, only caught one rock bass between the two of us, there were six of us on the baoar and we only fishe four reels at a time. Boat is not really big enough to fish with six people for salmon without getting tangled up
3 hrs to get where we need to go. caught small halibut, however, we didnt get another halibut🙄. we ran out of time.We had lots of rock fish tho. Capt and his deck hand was awesome smd very helpful. Thank you huys😎
Great fishing and the crew was great couldn’t ask for more 10 out of 10 👍
Thank you for coming out fishing with us and taking time to leave us a review. We hope to see you back again in the future!
The everything about the trip was awesome.
