At Big Alaska Fishing Charters we strive to not only ensure that our guests have the best possible fishing experience but also the best possible Alaskan adventure. On all of our fishing excursions our experienced captains are dedicated to making every effort that everyone onboard our two vessels catch their limit on all of the many abundant species of fish that we are targeting. These species range from trophy size halibut and lingcod to over 30 different species of colorful and tasty rockfish.
In addition to the remarkable fishing that the Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska have to offer, on most of our combination trips there will be 2 to 2 ½ hours of travel time each way to and from the fishing grounds. Our knowledgeable captains are constantly on the lookout for the spectacular marine life that the state of Alaska is known for, and we are always willing to stop so that our guests can take pictures or just to view some of the amazing scenery the area has to offer.
Whether you are visiting this amazing state for the first time or a seasoned veteran, we want to do everything we possibly can to ensure that this is a trip of a lifetime and an experience that you will never forget. Our goal is to earn your business for years to come!
