About This Adventure
Experience an unforgettable day of fishing in the Gulf of Alaska, targeting the unique lingcod and rockfish. With the powerful FV/Game Changer, reach remote fishing spots others can't access. Enjoy a full-day adventure, equipped with amenities for comfort. Join us in July and August for this exclusive fishing opportunity!
LINGCOD AND ROCKFISH COMBO
The Alaska fishing regulations do not permit halibut fishing on SPECIFIC TUESDAYS, so we’ve added a new trip targeting the prehistoric looking lingcod and rockfish.
Yelloweye, black rockfish, and lingcod. These fish are located in the deeper waters further out into the Gulf of Alaska. The FV/ Game Changer allows us to reach those fishing spots that other boats are unable to. With quad 425’s it won’t take us long to reach the fishing grounds. Be prepared to spend the entire day on the water, as this trip is an all-day excursion. Scheduled to leave the harbor at 7:00 am and arrive back around 6:00 pm. Meals are not included, so bring what you need to keep yourself going.
Lingcod season starts July 1st
The cost is $465 per person and will run for July and August only. Please keep in mind that we need at least 8 anglers scheduled for this trip in order to leave the harbor. We will do everything we can to ensure you get out and have the ultimate fishing experience! We have a microwave, coffee maker, stove, bathroom, and sleeping quarters just in case you need to rest.
We will have certain Wednesdays during the month of July and August available for this trip as well. Call 907-598-3391 to inquire.
