Take a Saltwater
Fishing day trip with us and fish for
BOTH Salmon and
Halibut in the same day!
Plan to leave the town of Wrangell around
7:30 AM. Don't forget to eat a good
breakfast and bring a sack lunch. Float jackets are provided for your warmth,
comfort and safety.
As the salmon enter into the Inside Passage during the summer months, they feed
on herring and needle fish along the shoreline and kelp beds. With a bright
flash the salmon hits the bait fish.
For a real challenge, use a light tackle rod and reel or flyfishing gear to fish
for hard-fighting-chrome-bright Salmon.
You cast your fly or spinner into the bait fish and start to retrieve. Slow at
first, working it as a wounded herring and then faster as a needle fish trying
to make its way out of danger.
Suddenly a school of Humpys (Pink Salmon) come out of the deep green water, hot
on the tail of your hook. One of the hungry salmon strikes...you set the hook
and the fight begins. It takes several trips around the boat before the tired
salmon is finally brought close enough to the side of the boat to net. After
removing the hook you cast again, waiting anxiously for the next fish to bite.
Will it be a single Coho this time? Or maybe even a King Salmon? You never know,
since all of these fish feed on the bait fish.
Sounds like fun? It is!
Deep-sea fishing for Halibut, Rock Fish and Ling Cod in the Inside Passage is a
lot different than fishing on the outside waters. Our seas here are very mild.
Many days the water is so calm that you might think that you were fishing on a
lake. Halibut can weigh up to 250 pounds and is fantastic eating. |
