Alaska Fishing

Fishing isn't a hobby, it's a commitment!

Long considered one of the world's leading destinations for sport anglers, Seward, Alaska offers a wide variety of fishing opportunities to suit your specific needs. Located just 2 hours from Anchorage, Seward offers some of the best light tackle fishing for Silver and King Salmon to deep-sea battles with the Giant Pacific Halibut. Anglers from across the globe converge on the small coastal community of Seward, Alaska to test their skills and try their luck fishing in one of the most picturesque settings imaginable!

The prime fishing grounds out of Seward are located in the Gulf of Alaska. Charter vessels depart the Seward Small Boat Harbor daily at 7am and head out across the waters of Resurrection Bay. Once in the gulf they spread out and target a coastline, which is rich in everything needed to sustain this incredible fishery. Offshore reefs and deep structure hold a tremendous variety of bottom-fish species. It's not at all uncommon for a lucky angler to be fighting a giant Pacific Halibut while others are landing monster lingcod or huge yellow-eye and black rockfish. When deep-sea fishing out of Seward, Alaska, you never know from one moment to the next what you might hook into.

Seward is just a 2-hour drive from Anchorage. Here are the options to reach us:

  • Seward Bus Line
  • Alaska Railroad
  • Red Eye Rides
  • Hertz Car Rental (pick up and drop off location in seward)
