Sitka fishing trip

[Napoleon]

Lots of nice fish this year and even better weather
This was our haul from day 2 of a 3 day trip. The big one in the fore ground came in at 85lbs
Freezers are full

looks like a great trip!

We are going back in 2025, who did you fish with? Thanks.

 

[Napoleon]

We go with friends. But they do own a charter business
Bayside Charters. They are small and don’t do a lot of charters. But they sure know where the fish are biting

Cast Alaska also does an excellent job at the lodge and on the water

1-907-738-7747 ask for Mike or John Cast Alaska

Is that in Sitka?

[MULEYSTAND]

Been a few times with King Fisher. Are there better options?

 

[lhrbull]

Each outfit has their plusses and minuses I just like the smaller more family run organizations

 

[maddog58]

So how rough is the water on these trips ?

 

[Napoleon]

Totally depends on the day
I’ve days where it’s almost flat calm and t shirt weather and days where the swell and wind is insane.
If you go with somebody good they will most likely put you on fish regardless of conditions

Napoleon… a couple for my kids are hunting deer on PWI this September. They’d like to bring home a few silver salmon while they are up there. Also may want to try for a halibut as well. Would you know any day charter down that way you could recommend.

My guys are guiding for deer and goats in Sept. But I will ask them who they recommend. My advice is stay away from the big outfits and lodges. They tend to pack the boats and aren’t as personable

My thoughts exactly. Thank you.

I believe most of the charter guys close shop in mid September.

That’s good information to have. Thank you.

King Fisher was awesome. Family run operation with great people. No complaints (make sure to go before August. Kings moved out for the most part by then).

 

[Sparks Shooter]

Nice fish! Looks like some good feeder Kings in there. ———SS
