What anglers said about fishing in Alaska

A little early in the season, so expectations were kept low. In the end, we exceeded those low expectations!

The only reason it is not 5 is because of the fishing restrictions when we went. It was nothing related to our fishing captain or deckhand.

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.

Wait till the salmon run more, May is early season for Salmon. Rent a vehicle in Anchorage and drive down, there are not many vehicle/transportation options in Homer. Bring extra cash, cash is preferred here over cards.

We fished in early May. The big fish are not in at this time, but there is still a lot of action. Cod provides lots of action.

for early May...dress in layers, and get ready for fish action! can get cold on the water, but the fish action will warm you up quickly.

If fishing in April, an experienced and knowledgeable captain is a must, as well as patience! Also, if your not used to the cold, wear plenty of layers as it gets cold if it’s windy on the water. I also recommend rechargeable hand warmers (or disposable) because our fingers got really cold while reeling in the fish. My boyfriend borrowed mine several times to warm up his hands in between fish and said he will get some of his own next time.

Keep an eye on the weather, it was 1 foot swells maybe a little more, but totally worth it. The huge halibut may be in and they may not be. The day before it was super calm and the day after it was as well.

The fish weren't huge or plentiful but the scenery and wildlife more than made up the deficit. Loved it!

First timers- fish between the first of June and the end of August for the best chance at filling up your fish boxes. September does provide some Coho and Halibut still. Fished 09/14/24 and the Halibut bite was hot. Also picked up Black & Silver Rockfish and North Pacific Cod.

Dress warm and be flexible with your schedule, the weather can turn on a dime, especially on the water. Captain Jack will keep you safe, but it’s up to you to be prepared in case the weather gets cold or rainy.

Ketchikan is a great place to fish. There’s a lot of conflicting information on line as to when the best time of year is to go. Best time for King Salmon is June. August was still pretty good fishing, but all the Kings we caught had to go back, too small. The Coho were nice sized.

Make sure you book a charter with experienced crew that makes sure your experience is great no matter how many fish you catch, regardless of how experience a fisherman you might be.
