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 we reach the fishing grounds, we will start jigging for halibut, rockfish, and lingcod (lingcod is after July 1st). If there is enough time left in the day after fishing for the other species, we will mooch for Salmon on the return to Seward in various places. Depending on the time of year this will be for either Chinook or Coho salmon.
