What kind of fish can you catch in Seward, AK?

The most popular fish to look for when you book one of our charter trips are halibut and silver salmon, although ling cod and rockfish are not far behind. What’s so special about these fish?

Alaskan halibut

Halibut are delicious fish with lovely white meat. They’re popular for their size (think of the amazing photos!) as well as for their culinary use. And they’re not fished just for sport, they’re an important part of commercial fishing in Alaska.

We organize trips for full-day halibut fishing on Coast Guard-inspected vessels with experienced captains that will help you get the catch of a lifetime. Find out more here.

Alaskan silver (coho) salmon

Silver salmon is known as one of the best fighting fish for its size and one of the most acrobatic fish in the world. Fishing for silver salmon can be a really fun adventure, leaving you with great stories as well as a delicious meal at the end of the day.

Adult silver salmon weigh around 8 to 12 pounds and grow to 24-30 inches long. The Alaska State Record for Silver Salmon is 26 pounds 11 ounces, caught in 2011.

We organize both half-day and full-day charter trips for salmon fishing with experienced vessel captains that will take you to the top spots for Alaska salmon fishing. Find out more here.

Lingcod and rockfish

The underwater pinnacles outside of Resurrection Bay provide the structure for lingcod and rockfish to survive and multiply. “Melt in your mouth” fish tacos come to mind when you have one of these fish on.

We organize trips to help you fish for lingcod and rockfish on our combo charter packages. Not only are these fish very tasty, but they’re also great fighters and will make for an amazing day out at sea.

How to make the most of your fishing experience

To ensure your next trip fishing for Alaska’s top prized fish is the adventure of a lifetime, here are some expert tips we’ve put together from our experienced vessel captains and top fishing guests throughout the years:

• We’ll help you plan your trip in advance and get advice from our expert staff to find out the best times to fish for your choice of salmon, halibut, lingcod or rockfish.
• We’ll do everything possible to help our guests catch fish, but the main thing is you’ll have a great time.
• The Captain knows best – fishing calendars and weather seasons are just basic guidelines, but things change all the time at sea. We’ll do our best to take you on the best fishing trip you’ve had, so changes to plans because of weather or other variables are sometimes required to get the most out of your trip.
• We respect the environment – we love Seward and the sea, and we know that we wouldn’t be where we are without taking care of our surroundings. We are respectful of the natural world and leave nothing behind. 
• Look around. You’re here to fish, but your Alaska fishing trip is also an opportunity to see some fantastic scenery and wildlife such as whales, sea lions and puffins. We want you to enjoy it all!
