-of-buncha-fish-fro.jpg "Combo Sightseeing & Fishing Charter") A Combination Fishing and Sightseeing Charter
is often the perfect trip for the family who want to see the
Kenai Fjords National Park and do a fishing
charter on the same day. We take the
best of both trips and package them into one for a
memorable Alaskan experience. You’ll have the opportunity to
view whales, sea lions, and seabirds up close and at a
casual pace on a small personalized tour with a maximum of
six passengers aboard. If you have a larger group than 6 we
can provide bookings for 43 foot boats taking 12 to 22
passengers. The limited amount of passengers makes
for a private and personalized experience for excellent
photo opportunities and relaxed fishing.
You’ll appreciate
the personalized attention when your Captain stops for photo
opportunities and answer your questions about wildlife as we
encounter whales, sea lions, bird rookeries, glaciers, and
other marine wildlife. Please remember that the fishing time
will be cut down considerably on these types of charters due
to the traveling time for sightseeing. As a result you
should not expect to limit out in fish on the fishing and
 sightseeing combination charters... But what could be better
than making a great day out of doing a little of both?
Sightseeing Areas Include the Kenai Fjords National Park and
Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge area and will cover
the same waters for sightseeing that the various Kenai
Fjords Tour boats encounter on their full day tours. We will
go to the Chiswell Islands, famous for the many species of
nesting seabirds and the Aialik/Holgate Glacier areas of the
majestic Kenai Fjords. On your private cruise, you’ll see
active calving glaciers flowing out of the vast Harding Ice
field, bird rookeries alive with thousands of migratory
waterfowl and beaches covered with barking Stellar sea
lions. Whales are almost always seen on this beautiful
cruise, as well as seals, Orcas, Dall porpoise, black bear,
mountain goats, eagles, and other wildlife. Explore the
mystical untouched fjords with awe-inspiring alpine,
piedmont, and tidewater glaciers, cascading waterfalls,
steep cliffs, tidewater caves and pristine beaches.
Fishing: We will be targeting halibut, ling cod (in season)
and black bass or salmon (in season).
 Pacific Halibut are the most desired and largest fish of
Alaska’s sport fisheries. They are plentiful in our waters throughout our
fishing season of May through September. Sport caught
halibut usually range from 20 to 50 lbs. , although larger
fish are not uncommon. Generally we fish between 100 and 450
feet, with an average of about 300 feet. It takes about an
hour and a half to 2 hours to get to the best fishing
grounds. We normally drift over our fishing areas, and then
pull up, and move back over it and drift again. Though we do
drop anchor sometimes, we don’t believe in anchoring and
sitting on one spot all day.
Ling Cod season opens July 1st. Minimum legal is size 35
inches. They can grow to over 80 lbs. The limit is one fish per day per person. Lings can be caught at
almost any depth but we catch most of them at 15 to 150
feet. Many people prefer the moist, succulent, white meat of
ling cod to halibut.
 Black Sea Bass
are both easy and fun to catch. They are the most prolific
of the rockfish species and are found near shallow rocky
areas. Fishermen are limited to four black
bass per day. These fish average about 4 to 5 pounds but
range up to 12 pounds. We normally fish for them using
medium weight spinning or bait casting gear, using hoochies
and herring or shrimp lures. These fish are great fun for
the young kids and big kids alike as they hit fast and
furious. Sea bass (black bass) are delicious to eat.
Red snapper (Yellow-eye
Rockfish) are one of the tastiest fish we have, and the
limit is one per day. They are generally caught while
fishing for halibut and ling cod. As you can see there are a
good variety of fish to catch during a halibut charter, and
all are delicious to eat.
Silver Salmon start their annual return to their fresh water
streams in mid July and August but can be caught in outer
coastal waters starting in late June. Silver salmon average
8 to 20 lbs and are a lot
of fun to catch. State record
is 26lbs. They put up a great fight on medium to light
tackle and are exciting and fun to catch.
Depending upon the weather, tides, location, and time
of year, we normally fish for salmon in water depths from a
few feet near shore to 90 feet of water offshore. Usually
“mooching”, (drift fishing with bait) will provide the best
results. Salmon are aggressive when feeding and provide some
fast action. Captain Mike is an avid salmon fisherman and
has great knowledge and
successful fishing techniques that he will share with you.
His years of local knowledge of our area gives him an edge
on finding the right combination of techniques and location
for finding salmon and getting them to bite. |
