Saltwater Fishing in Alaska

Icy Strait is home to some of Alaska's finest fishing with a wide range of species and areas to target. Primarily fishing in Icy Strait, most halibut and salmon fishing "holes" are ten to twenty minutes from the Gustavus dock.

One hour journeys to Cross Sound and the Pacific Ocean to fish for rock fish, lingcod and salmon add scenic diversity to your fishing adventure. All five species of Pacific salmon are available at different times of the year and will be tempted with different fishing methods depending on the conditions and your preference.

Trolling, jigging, casting, and mooching with artificials and herring will all produce salmon. Halibut are often caught in the same general location we fish for salmon. Primary methods are jigging with artificials and drifting or anchoring with bait. We will fish for halibut in water depths between 50 and 150 feet deep. I rarely fish deeper - it just isn't as much fun!
