Expertly Guided Fishing
Kodiak Island is renowned for its wildlife, and our lodge provides expert guides, fishing gear, and boat charters to lead families on immersive fishing expeditions. From King salmon to Halibut fishing and everything in between, beyond the pursuit of your favorite catch, these excursions will offer you a deeper understanding of the island’s ecosystem — and a shared appreciation for the importance of conservation.
King Salmon Fishing Trips
The King, otherwise known as Chinook salmon, stands as one of the most coveted catches, renowned for its impressive size, firm texture, and delectable richness. For an unparalleled king salmon fishing experience, Alaska takes the lead!
The prime season for Alaska king salmon fishing spans from May to mid-July, yet these majestic fish can be encountered year-round in Alaskan waters. Particularly in May through June, enthusiasts enter the “Trophy King” season, as the waters of Kodiak, Alaska host kings ranging from 30 to 90 pounds. This period attracts anglers eager to reel in the stunning 50-pound plus chrome-bright king salmon.
Silver Salmon Fishing Trips
Silver (coho) salmon, characterized by their swift and aggressive swimming, boast firm, mild, orange flesh, ideal for both canning and grilling. This quality makes them highly sought after by fishermen. The arrival of 10- to 22-pound silver salmon occurs in early July, and the fishing techniques mirror those used for Alaskan king salmon.
The best Alaska silver salmon runs occur from mid-August through September. Maximize your daily catch with a limit of five silvers per person; with this addition to your overall haul, you’ll have an abundant harvest.
Halibut Fishing
Halibut fishing on Kodiak Island offers anglers an unparalleled experience in the heart of Alaska’s breathtaking wilderness. Renowned for our robust halibut population, Kodiak Island provides a thrilling opportunity to reel in these colossal flatfish. The prime season typically spans from May to September, with peak activity in June and July.
Anglers can expect encounters with halibut weighing anywhere from 20 to over 300 pounds on our fishing charters, promising an adrenaline-pumping challenge for both novice and seasoned fishermen. With our nutrient-rich waters and stunning coastal landscapes, Kodiak Island stands as a premier destination for those seeking not only an exceptional halibut fishing adventure but also an immersive connection with the untamed beauty of the Alaskan outdoors.
