About

On a Miller's Landing Full Day Fishing Charter for Halibut/King Salmon we attempt to catch our daily limits of Halibut, King Salmon, and Rockfish! Departing at 6am, we will head to where we believe the best fishing can be had. This may mean venturing 60+ miles to the Western entrance of Prince William Sound to target the spring king fishery off Cape Cleare. We target Kings by trolling or mooching with both hardware and bait, working gear through the water column. Some of our largest halibut have been harvested in the spring during species specific charters - this is a wonderful time of year to target both species.

When weather does not permit the exposed run East, we will push West and ply the barrier islands, moraines, and dynamic submerged structures of the Kenai Fjords National Park. The weather here can be more protected, and the fishing is much more diverse, not to mention stunningly beautiful.

We offer these trips from May 1-June 19, before the Silver Salmon typically arrive. Time is split between Halibut and King Salmon depending on tides and the primary target of the clientele, and we generally allocate some time for rock fishing always with the goal to come in with our limit. After June 19th, if you'd like to book a King / Hali combination trip, please just give us a call and we can likely arrange it for you so long as it is a whole boat booking - the price for trips post 6/19 may vary.

Many of our fishing spots have views of the fjords, glaciers, rookeries and feeding/nesting grounds for whales and sea birds.

King or (chinook) Salmon are the largest local salmon we can target, with sizes ranging from 10 - 50+ pounds. The "feeder kings" we target are king salmon that are not yet bound for the river. These fish go to sea for up to 8 years before returning to fresh water to spawn. The state of Alaska limits harvest to either one or two king salmon per person, depending on the area we are fishing.

A feeder king is a beautiful thing, both in the water and on the table. We treat these fish with reverence and respect both on and off the water, and take the best care possible with your catch from the time it leaves the water. We only allow senior crew to filet these fish, and we endeavor to harvest every bit for your homepack.

During the Silver Salmon run (usually June 20th - the end of the season) we offer our flagship Combination Fishing Charters for all species which truly makes the most of the day and our world class fishery.

Cleaning and filleting of your fish and a private hanging station back at the landing for photos is included in your adventure. Your fishing experience will be enhanced while using purpose built custom rods made in the USA and field tested by our own crew for production by Talon Rods. All fishing tackle is rigged and tied by hand in house by our captains and crew!
