My friends and Dad and i went to Alaska for years ,,,and had lots of lazy/drunk fishing guide bad experiences in the South East. Then we found Capt. Mark, who is professional, hungry to catch fish and not just wet your lines, and expert with years of boat handling and fishing experience.
So if you want to catch 150-200 lb Halibut, (hint:the big ones hangout with the big ones, and the little ones/'chickens' hang with the little ones,,,so most charter captains take you to 'chicken' roosts,,,) and do it in 80-100 ft of water vs the usual Kenai 200-300 ft (free halibut hint #2:if the halibut is hauled to the surface vs just below it to be shot,,,it will go back to the bottom and you will have to bring that 'barn door' all the way back up again), go to Mark's website, and avoid some really scary operators (heard over the radio on last visit, by big fleet captain "lost in fog just outside harbor,,,can not figure out this gps ,,,") in Yakutat !!
After July 1,,,call Mark for changing season year to year and changing limits,,,you can catch surface fighting silver salmon on light tackle,,,so MUCH FUN !!
Plus , there is the Situk River nearby if you want to fish with grizzly bears and mosquitoes the size of helicopters,,,we caught a bunch of reds/sockeye one year,,,SO DELICIOUS !!,,,on bare big red hooks and chartreuse yarn ! (don't recommend you waste time on pink/humpy salmon,,,or dog/chum salmon,,,as both taste like dogfood !!)
Fly in and out on Alaska Airlines to old ww2 airport, but beware of frequent 'lost fish boxes' on return to lower 48,,,and often misdropped luggage in distant adak, alaska,,,for days,,,without raingear,,,
(free #3,,,Seatac's fisher's freezer on site was not a flash freezer and not nearly cold enough,,,)
