Fishing in Seward

Seward, Alaska, is a world-renowned sportfishing paradise, nestled at the gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park and Resurrection Bay. This destination offers unmatched saltwater fishing opportunities where anglers target trophy halibut exceeding 200 pounds, especially during peak season from April through October. The area is celebrated as Alaska’s silver salmon mecca, with prolific runs turning trips into non-stop action during late summer.

Beyond halibut and salmon, Seward fishing charters provide thrilling multi-species adventures. Anglers regularly land lingcod, rockfish, and even king salmon while exploring the nutrient-rich Gulf of Alaska. Many charters offer combo trips, allowing you to pursue halibut alongside salmon or lingcod in a single excursion. The pristine fjords and dramatic coastal scenery—complete with calving glaciers and marine wildlife—create a breathtaking backdrop for every outing.

For freshwater enthusiasts, the Kenai River near Seward delivers exceptional fishing for sockeye salmon, rainbow trout, and Dolly Varden. Whether deep-sea fishing aboard custom vessels or casting from scenic shorelines, Seward’s diverse fisheries cater to all skill levels. Family-owned charters with decades of experience ensure memorable, safe adventures using specialized tackle and local expertise to maximize your Alaskan fishing experience.

Seward Fishing Seasons

January

Seward’s annual Polar Bear Jump is about as Alaskan as you can get. Defy the cold and head to the harbor to take a dip in the icy waters in this extreme charity event.

February

If you’re looking for artistic inspiration, Seward’s winter wilderness is about as remote and atmospheric as you can get. Plus there will be no distractions.

March

The town finally starts to emerge from its long winter hibernation in March. The charter boats still aren’t running but you can find some great freshwater fishing in the local rivers.

April

The first few charter boats hit the water in April, heading out in search of Halibut, Rockfish, and early-season Salmon. Jump aboard and get ready for some incredible food fishing!

May

Seward’s fishing season really gets going in May. Coho and Chinook Salmon can both be caught this time of year, as can other important species like Halibut.

June

Seward's annual Halibut Fishing Tournament attracts ambitious locals and competitive visitors looking to bag big, tasty fish. Join in for the chance to head home with $5,000 in prize money!

July

Seward’s 4th of July celebrations are the biggest in Alaska, and include the second oldest running race in the country - the grueling Mt. Marathon race.

August

Seward’s Silver Salmon Derby is one of the biggest events of the season, with over $50,000 in prize money and plenty of stiff competition. Think you’re up to the challenge?

September

The fishing just gets hotter and hotter as summer turns to fall. Battle monster Chinook, Coho, Pink, and Sockeye Salmon, as well as Halibut, Rockfish, and much, much more!

October

October is your last chance of finding a fishing charter in Seward. Halibut and Rockfish are biting hard at sea, while Dolly Varden and Lake Trout enter a feeding frenzy in the rivers.

November

Head out to the Resurrection River to battle big Pike, Dolly Varden, and Salmon in November. You can’t head to sea, but there’s plenty of freshwater action to keep you happy.

December

Seward’s Christmas Parade lights up the town with floats and decorations. There are no winter blues here, just a healthy serving of seasonal cheer!

Karl P.

It's a great trip, but don't expect huge halibut. I've always heard about big halibut in AK, like 50 lbs to 200 lbs. So I thought catching a halibut like that was a good possibility. However, I think that's very unlikely these days fishing out of Seward.

Book with Blue Ice Charters and spend the extra money to get on the Salty Loot.

Weather and views was gorgeous on June 19th. It’s a small boat so you’ll do a lot of rocking and rolling out there even in calm waters. Take a bonine before you depart. Bring a sandwich and plan to enjoy the experience and just have fun. You’re on the water fishing in Alaska, don’t get much better than that.

Sockeye run is on, kings too. Only big risk is the weather can be a little chilly and wet, but it’s Alaska so I’ll always take better fishing first.

Seward is gorgeous, enjoy! Make sure that you get your licenses bought before hand. It's a long boat trip out, maybe up to 2 hours. Bring food, bring entertainment (or just get outside on deck and enjoy the beauty.

If it's a last minute trip, check to see how the silver salmon run is. If you booked your trip months in advance like most people do there isn't anything you can do about it, but there are plenty of other fish to catch.
