Located in Seward, Alaska, Resurrection Bay is a world-class fishing destination where crystal-clear waters meet rugged coastal peaks. This trip offers anglers the chance to fish for Lingcod, Salmon, and Rockfish in one of the most scenic marine environments in the Gulf of Alaska. Operating out of Seward’s harbor, this fishing experience spans up to 10 hours on the water, giving plenty of time to catch robust Lingcod (available after July 1st), wild Salmon, and colorful Rockfish species native to these nutrient-rich waters.
