About
Traveling between 1 and 3 hours each way to the ultimate fishing grounds. You will have a beautiful ride out of Resurrection Bay into the Gulf of Alaska watching for wildlife along the way. Don't be surprised if you see sea otters, porpoises, sea birds, or even a whale! Once you reach the fishing grounds we will start jigging for halibut. We will mooch for Salmon on the return to Seward in various places OR we will try jigging for black rockfish instead if the salmon bite isn't good.
Depending on the time of year we will be trolling for either Chinook or Coho salmon.
