 The place to go for the best, world class fishing for King Salmon, Silver Salmon, and Halibut is Sitka, Alaska, due to its unique location jutting out into the Pacific Ocean. Of all the king salmon and halibut sport caught in southeast Alaska, 40% of them are landed near the outer coast of Sitka. Sitka is also the hot bed for "barn-door" halibut, lingcod and various rockfish.
The land's geography makes great feeding grounds for fish migrating down the outer coastline. They bump into the Cape and stay there, feeding all summer long. The Alaska silver salmon and king salmon fishing is incredible, as is the halibut fishing, and our charters take advantage of that. So as far as fishing trips to Alaska, Sitka is the obvious choice. Don't you think it's time to take a fishing trip to Alaska?
Located on the west side of Baranof Island in Southeast Alaska, Sitka is only three hours away from Seattle by jet on Alaska Airlines. |
