What to expect

Every morning on the water is different, and nobody reads it better than your captain. On the Alaska Fishing Adventure, you leave the decisions to a seasoned local who knows these waters by heart. Before you leave the dock, your captain weighs the tides, the weather, and the latest reports from the fleet, then sets a course for wherever the fish are biting hardest. This five-hour trip is built around one idea: going where the action is.
When the salmon are running, your captain may put you on a troll through schools of pink and silver salmon, with a shot at the elusive, mighty king. If the bite is on below, you could be dropping light tackle onto schools of rockfish suspended in the water column for nonstop fun. On a calm day, your captain may push farther offshore in search of hard-fighting Pacific cod and lingcod, or set up over the bottom for a shot at a prized Alaska halibut. Wherever the day takes you, you’ll cruise past primeval forests and mountains rising straight from the sea, with a good chance of spotting whales, porpoises, seals, and more.
