Fishing trips in Alaska offer a number of exciting opportunities to explore its incredible wilderness. Regardless of experience level, stream fishing is a popular sport along the state’s coast, and many fishing charters also offer adventure fishing options, kayaking, and photography tours. You name it, this state has it, all while, as Sarah Palin once said, you can see Russia from your house.
Whisper Marine
Since 1996, Douglas Ogilvy has operated this stunning charter, which prides itself on its guided eco tours, as well as its claims to being able to see sea otters and sometimes even whales for photography. The gorgeous photos on its website are solid proof that this relaxing passage is also breathtakingly beautiful.
Based just next to the entrance of Glacier Bay National Park, Whisper Marine is also known for its flyfishing, and many of its most novice customers have caught salmon, dolly varden char, and cuttroat trout in its waters. Ogilvy himslf has been trained extensively through a Wilderness First Responder course, and is also skilled in canoeing and kayaking. With Ogilvy and his trained staff, you are certain to have a safe, thrilling time observing the best that nature has to offer.
Vader Charter
Pledging to make your distant dream of visiting Alaska turn into reality, Vader Charters has been delighting its customers for decades. The charter offers a top of the line cabin boat, “The Vader” which is equipped with all manner of high quality fishing equipment and bait, as well as a heated cabin, and an enclosed restroom. Vader’s clients have raved about the charter, thrilled that they have caught Sockeye, Coho Salmon, and rainbow trout. The one thing Vader does not promise, however, is that this is going to be an easy ride. If you are a newbie, you might want to work out your sea legs somewhere else, because as one veteran’s testimonial put it, “ I thought I was a match for Alaska Fishing…Boy was I wrong!” If, however, you are a passionate fisherman who loves finding the beauty in the state’s ice wilderness, Vader may be the perfect charter for you.
Swelltime Charters
As the name suggests, fishermen of any ilk are sure to have a “swell time” at these charters. The boat, Swelltime, is built specifically with the Gulf of Alaska in mind, and contains a large fishing deck and bait station, as well as a fish box on every floor. Twin Volvo Penta diesels make for a fast and dependable speed that will help you have a great, sucessful fishing trip. Safety gear is provided as well, and has been approved by the USCG. What are you waiting for? It’s never too late for a Swelltime.
Any one of these charters will ensure you have the time of your life searching for fish off the coast of Alaska. To find more information about any of them, make sure you visit FishingTrip.net, type in Alaska, and keywords “fishing charter.” We can’t wait to see you out on the water!
