Hey Mel, 8/18/2009

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for such an excellent fishing trip this last summer. The memory of both my father and I pulling in two 45lbs Salmon on our first day was absolutely priceless. We will never forget the excitement we felt as both the fish came into the boat. The smiles on our faces were ear to ear.

As for your crew on the day we went Halibut fishing, they could not have been more friendly and informative. They new right where to go in order to catch halibut and our lines hooked almost immediately after our hooks touched bottom. For being a guy who doesn’t fair too well in open sea, I couldn’t have had a better time. Your guys really know what they are doing out there.

Thank you for being the reason my freezer is full.
I posted a couple videos of the trip for everyone to enjoy.

Sincerely,
Brian Souders

Alaska Salmon Fishing – They Don’t Call Them King Salmon for Nothing!

Our gallery of photos on this website attests to the incredible size of the Salmon you’ll find in these parts of Alaska. Trophy salmon of up to 90 pounds have been pulled from the waters of Kenai Peninsula. Big fish are the norm.
For saltwater King Salmon, the best time of year to fish is in May. The Kenai River King Salmon run hard in June and July offering anglers an excellent selection and big fun. You’ll find plenty of Silver Salmon in the Kenai River in August, and Saltwater Salmon/Halibut trips are scheduled in August too. On even numbered years, the pink salmon will also be prevalent in August. Captain Erickson is an expert on the movement of salmon in these parts, and his daily fishing reports can be relied upon to ensure a good day’s catch.

Alaskan Halibut – Even Bigger Than Your Imagination

If your angler’s dreams include reeling in an Alaskan Halibut as big as a truck, you won’t be disappointed by Alaskan Gamefisher. Our gallery of photos on this website shows the amazing Halibut that have been caught here in the cold waters of Alaska's Cook Inlet on the Kenai Peninsula.

Halibut fishing is open year-round, with all summer being excellent. At Alaskan Gamefisher we fish from May through September. Alaskan Gamefisher has provided halibut charters since 1989 & has never been skunked in 21 years. Our Halibut fishing Captains have several years experience fishing the second largest tidal influenced inlet in the world. So when you’re ready for an Alaskan Halibut Fishing Adventure, we’re ready too. Plan ahead, because the season fills up quickly.
