WHY CHOOSE FISHING IN ALASKA WITH THE GAMFISHER?

Private Charters

We specialize in private multiple day Alaska fishing charters & lodging, where you are the only group of anglers at our Alaska fishing lodge, & on our fishing boats.

Fish Alaska salmon & halibut with the same fishing guide!

Captain Mel Erickson owner of Alaskan Gamefisher since 1989 will personally be your Alaska fishing guide for both your Kenai River salmon fishing, and on your saltwater halibut charters on Cook Inlet, at Anchor Point near Homer. Captain Mel Erickson is one of very few Alaska fishing guides that personally guide for both Kenai River Salmon, & Alaska Halibut. This means you will fish both salmon & halibut with the same fishing guide.

Flexibility

If you book a private fishing charter for your Alaska fishing adventure you will have the flexibility to change your daily fishing schedule between the Kenai River salmon, & the Anchor Point saltwater salmon, & halibut fishery. Fishing conditions on the Kenai Peninsula change all the time & flexibility is the key to a successful Alaska fishing trip. This means if the fishing or weather is bad in one area you can change to another area at the last moment, No other Alaska fishing charter can offer you that flexibility.

Our vessels

Our Kenai River charter boat is one of the newest, & most comfortable salmon fishing boats on the Kenai River. It is outfitted with adjustable, high back & soft padded Bentley seats with arm rests. The vessel is wider & more spacious than most other Kenai River guide boats. Our Alaska Halibut charter boat the “GAMEFISHER” is a 30 foot by 10 foot wide aluminum vessel with a larger fishing deck than other boats giving you plenty of room to fish from. Our halibut boat is equipped with a full cabin with toilet, heater, & has 8 sealed air chambers for safety, if a chamber gets punctured only that chamber fills with water instead of the entire boat.

Left Handed Reels

The only Alaska charter boat with Left handed fishing reels available. There are no other charter boats on the Kenai Peninsula that offer these reels for left handed anglers. Our salmon & halibut fishing tackle is the best with 2 speed international reels & G-Loomis rods in 15-30 pound class.

The Accommodations

Our Alaska fishing lodge is not small cabins, but a very large private 3 bedroom, 3 bath home with complete kitchen, King size beds, BBQ grill, freezer, Along with rubber boots, coolers, & fishing rods for you to use while not on fishing charters.

Full Day Alaska fishing Trips

We do not fish double half day trips like most other Alaska fishing guides on the Kenai Peninsula. Both our salmon & halibut trips are full, single trip days unless other wise requested. That means we don’t have a set time we have to be in at to take another group of anglers out that day.

Boat Mobility

Our Boats are on trailers so we can move up & down the Kenai River wherever the salmon fishing is better. For Halibut fishing we can move where the weather is better if needed. Many times when the wind blows at Anchor Point & Deep Creek we can travel to Homer for halibut fishing in Kachemak Bay.

NO Fuel Restrictions

We do not put distance limits on how far our boats can travel each day to the fishing grounds, we go where the best fishing is regardless of distance, with rising fuel costs many Deep Creek, & Homer halibut fishing charters have put limits on how far their boats can travel.

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 a seven foot long Alaskan Halibut, 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 the Kenai. 

Halibut fishing is excellent year-round, with a season that never stops.  At Alaskan Gamefisher we fish from May through September, so when you’re ready for an Alaskan Halibut Fishing Adventure, we’re ready too.  Plan ahead, because the season fills up quickly.

Our Alaskan Fishing Charters are created specifically with your personal requests in mind.  Your trip is truly custom, so you can let your imagination be your guide.

Many anglers love our combo trips.  Fish for salmon one day and halibut the next.  These combo trips are offered in August when you’re assured of a great catch and a big adventure too. 

People return again and again to fish with Alaskan Gamefisher.  Our experience makes the difference.  We guarantee your satisfaction and can provide numerous references that will be happy to share their own experiences with you.
