    An unforgettable fishing experience in Alaska

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    Our fishing trip with Gabriel was truly a unique experience and one of the highlights of our time in Alaska. We learned so much from his knowledge, experience, and incredible agility while fishing. Gabriel was not only an excellent guide, but also made the whole experience so much fun. It was much more than just a fishing activity — it was an authentic Alaskan experience that we will remember for a long time. We are very grateful to Gabriel for sharing his wisdom with us and making the day so special. We would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Alaska! 🎣🏔️❤️

    Great Shore Fishing Experience

    Half Day Trip - 2:00 PM • 12 adults • 1 child

    We had a fantastic shore fishing experience in Seward with Gabe and his helper for the day, Justin. Our group included 12 family members ranging in age from 12 to 81, and Gabe did an outstanding job teaching everyone how to snag salmon. He was patient, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone understood the technique and had a great time. Gabe is an extremely skilled guide, but what really stood out was how personable, organized, and communicative he was. Managing a group our size with such a wide range of ages (and skill) is no small task, and he made the entire experience run smoothly and feel fun and relaxed. This was a memorable experience for our whole family and one of the highlights of our time in Seward. We would highly recommend Gabe to anyone looking for a great fishing experience in Alaska!

    A truly local Alaskan experience

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    An incredible way to experience the local side of Alaska. Going fishing with the First Cast Fishing team was such a great experience, and I would absolutely recommend it. It felt very natural, casual, and authentic, and gave us the opportunity to see a completely different side of Seward. Being out on the water, surrounded by nature and beautiful landscapes, was amazing. The team was incredibly friendly and made the whole experience fun and relaxed. Even though we didn’t catch anything, we had a great time and would definitely do it again!

    Awesome fishing afternoon!

    Half Day Trip - 2:00 PM • 2 adults

    We had such a wonderfull time fishing with Gabriel. He was awesome teaching us, very pacient, and me and my husband could catch fish. I have never cast fished in my life, and I don’t actually fish, and was able to go home scoring 3. We choosed this because I get sea sick and my husband really wanted to fish while in Seward. After we fished, Gabriel cleaned the fish for us, and gave recomendations on where to take it to be processed, and a restaurant that cooked it for us to dine. Would 100% recommend this for anyone!

    BEST FISHING EVER!!!!

    Half Day Trip • 2 adults

    The captain took us to some great fishing spots, and we ended up catching 6 and 8 fish each! He was incredibly friendly and made us feel comfortable throughout the entire trip. He provided everything we needed, including boots and all the fishing gear, and explained everything clearly, so all we really had to do was dress warmly and enjoy ourselves. We had such a great time that we fished for the full four hours. This was easily one of the best experiences we had in Alaska, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting. Don’t miss it!

    Reported catch:
    Pink Salmon

    Had a great day of fishing silver salmon with Captain Gabe. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in setting up all four of us to catch fish. We had a great time, and if we're ever back in Alaska, we'll be reaching out to hm again!

    Gabriel does a great job! He helped me catch my first salmon! He did a great job explaining for the cast the rod, as well as what to do when we saw the fish coming! It was a lot of fun getting one on the line! Superb job!

    Booked this on shore fishing adventure for my 23 yr old son. He isn’t a fan of boats - think waves and vomit but he so desperately wanted to fish. We tried for a week- so badly unsuccessful, I decided to book this for him and hoped there were fish tales to be had and there was. He caught 6 fish- was a muddy mess and had the biggest smile . Exactly what I hoped for.

His hospitality, professionalism, and attention to detail made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. He was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely committed to making sure I had a great day.

    While we only caught one fish (not Gabe’s fault, we were just really bad at snagging), we still had a great experience. Highlights included catching a starry flounder, my son falling in the river, the wildlife, and the views. Gabe is so knowledgeable, exceptionally helpful, and really wants you to catch a fish. Don’t be surprised to wake up with a sore arm and many great memories the next day!
