Sitka's fishing can only be described as a 'world-class' saltwater sportfishing destination!

Our anglers experience awesome fishing action during the months of May through September while they primarily target Chinook (King) and Silver (Coho) salmon.

Our area also enjoys an abundant supply of Halibut, Lingcod and many different species of bottomfish. The variety of fish available in our fertile waters will surely keep your reel singing with non-stop fishing action !

      

When targeting salmon we MOOCH ! Using light weight tackle, this fun and exciting hands-on fishing technique is done with 10-1/2 foot G. Loomis rods, Shimano reels, 20 pound Izoreline, ultra sharp Gamakatsu hooks and plug cut herring. Nothing is more fun then dropping your tight spinning bait into a salmon's strike zone, working the bait, anticipating the bite of a feeding salmon and setting the hook yourself ! All salmon caught are ocean bright, aggressive biters and the fish bite all day long. Ocean caught salmon are very strong fighters and can take several runs before being landed, also the table fare is of the highest quality.

The Halibut fishing around Sitka is consistently outstanding. Halibut ranging from 25 to 350 pounds are abundant all season. Chicken Halibut (named for their size) ranging from 25 to 50 pounds are the best eating size to catch and keep. Unlike other area's in Alaska, Sitka doesn't have strong tidal currents to contend with, this allows the opportunity to fish for Halibut at any time of the day. It's quite common to catch your limit of Halibut and salmon in the same day.
