Plan Your Trip

Fishing Resurrection Bay and the Gulf of Alaska

Many trips begin in Resurrection Bay, with routes that may extend toward the waters near Kenai Fjords National Park, depending on conditions. From calm days inside the bay to runs into more open water, each charter is shaped by weather, location, and what’s active that day.

Our experienced captains prioritize safety, clear instruction, and a smooth, organized experience so anglers can focus on fishing from the moment they step aboard.

Target Species: Halibut, Salmon, and More

Seward is known for its variety of saltwater fishing, and our trips are planned around what’s in season and most active that day. Depending on the charter, you may target halibut, salmon, and other local species such as rockfish, Pacific cod, and lingcod. Some days are built around silver salmon runs, while others offer steady action across multiple species.

We also offer combo and full-day trips when conditions align for a true mixed-bag experience. No two days are identical, but every charter is designed to give you the best opportunity for quality fishing out of Seward.
