Thousands of adventurous travelers trek to and about North American and Canada each year for the area's wildlife and game. And one of wilderness travelers' favorite activities is reeling in the diverse crustaceans, shellfish and fish Alaska has to offer. Seasoned or first-time fishermen will find there's no shortage of charter fishing boats, equipment rental operations and crews willing to give Alaskan seafood and nature enthusiasts the adventure of a lifetime. The toughest part of the trip may be deciding what to catch. Halibut, herring, salmon, cod, Alaskan crab, lobster and clams are abundant for fishing, trapping or digging pretty much year-round. You can get started on planning by gathering some information about where our various seafoods are harvested and when they're most available by reading the product descriptions on our Buy Seafood page. Travel agencies and many chambers of commerce are happy to assist in the planning process with some basic information: expected duration of your trip, the approximate arrival and departure dates, the type of seafood that interests you, the preferred fishing method (saltwater, freshwater, raft, river, lake, etc.), lodging preferences, your experience level and budget.
If you're not at all sure where to begin, we recommend starting your research by browsing our blog and Kodiak Weather pages for some ideas about the optimal fishing opportunities.
Once your fishing expedition is planned, talk to us about getting everything you catch home so you can proudly share your salmon, halibut or Alaskan crab with your friends and family. In addition to our regular Internet offerings, we also specialize in custom packaging seafoods that our customers have personally harvested. After all, the opportunity to fish Alaska is too special an experience to leave behind.
