Bring a jacket because it is a little bit cold and just be patient. You will catch fish.

It was a beautiful town full and breathtaking scenery during the drive to get there. Everything is very well marked leaving very little room for error. Plenty of fish to go around as well!

Best Salmon Fishing near Anchorage
Make sure you have the appropriate gear(clothes, etc. ). Also be sure to have motion sickness stuff ready. We didn’t need it but it helps to have it.

Big Butt Charters – Captain Jordan
Make sure you dress in layers, especially if your starting at 5 a.m. It might not seem that cold when you walk out your front door, but it is much cooler along the river. I was glad I took gloves, just wished I would have worn some Under Armour to keep my legs warmer.

Visit The Salty Dawg and have a drink! Be sure to eat a meal or two on the town. The food is fantastic. It’s hard to leave this town.

The kenai is full of fishing guides. Read reviews on the guides but remember there are people who are going to give bad reviews. Guides are people to if the try hard that's really all you can ask. And pay attention to trip duration and try to get the most bang for your buck.

Salmon and Trout with Tower Rock Lodge
Dress warm/in layers and definitely bring rain gear/fishing bibs and jacket. Take Dramamine if you get sea sick because waters/sea conditions can get rough/nasty out there with the crazy tidal conditions

Big Butt Charters – Captain Chuck
The rough ride and bathroom accommodations on board are not for the faint in heart. Often a couple of hours out with boat at full speed and smacking waves to get to the fishing spots.

Very important to consider the tides. Avoid times of extreme lows and highs as that results in much stronger currents making some great areas more difficult to fish

If you’re planning on taking fish home have a plan. Check out the processing fees and the time frame of getting your catch frozen. Make sure you have room in your vehicle to transport the fish back to the airport!!!

Ocean Hunter Charters
Be very cautious of the weather, it goes from good to bad, not much in-between. I would book in advance to get your spot, but on the day of the trip if other boats are canceling, cancel your trip. The benefit of going out of Homer is you get to go far out where there are bigger fish, if the weather is bad, you'll have to stay in Cook Inlet where it's a bit over fished. You'll catch fish, they are just much smaller.

Dress appropriately — Rain coat and rain pants recommended, not just for rain, but typical boat and fishing wetness.
And it is cool on the morning and out to sea. So layer up.

Without a doubt.
I think about the next trip and I remind myself that neither I or captain and crew can control the weather. We got lucky with weather
