Fish here are plentiful and aggressive. From May to October, we target a mixed bag that includes halibut, salmon, sea bass and ling cod. Ever-present Pacific cod have become a popular catch as well, due to their excellent food-fare.

Saltwater bag limits are 2 halibut, 2 king salmon, 5 other salmon (red, silver, pink and chum salmon), 3 sea bass and 2 ling cod. All fish is open year-round except halibut (closed in January, all Wednesdays, and select Tuesdays to be announced in January or February) and ling cod (closed from January through June).

Halibut are abundant May through October. King salmon feed year-long around the island but are most numerous during the biologically explosive summer months. Silver salmon are present in the salt water from early July through September. Non migratory sea bass – comprised of numerous, colorful species – inhabit nearby reefs in large numbers and willingly smack jigs any time of year. All fish caught in these cold, pristine waters are edible.

What’s provided

On our fishing charters, we provide snacks, soda/bottled water, state-of-the-art tackle, all bait and a full day of fishing from 7 a.m. to mid-afternoon. We partner the local fish processor, Kodiak Wild Source, for a top-quality product you can enjoy for years. Bring warm and waterproof clothing as you may experience four season’s weather in one day. Sneakers are sufficient.
