Alaska Halibut Fishing & Salmon Fishing
Yakutat Bay has the best halibut fishing in the world.
The big halibut are often found in 50-150 feet of water just 45 minutes from the dock. The best halibut fishing is from April through August, but it has been surprisingly good throughout the season. Ling cod and rock fish are often caught as well.
Salmon Fishing
Chinook or King Salmon can come as early as late May and continue into almost the end of July. Coho or Silver Salmon arrive from the beginning of August and will stay around until almost the end of September. The limit is 6 per day and it is not unheard of to see a boat of 3 bring in their limit of 18 fish. Both Coho and Chinook can be reached by renting our Ocean Skiffs. They are a 16 foot Lund with a 25 hp Yamaha and can be rented from 7 am to 7 pm daily.
Which ever method you choose to saltwater fish, charter or rental skiff, you will find that Yakutat fishing is second to none.
