Enjoy An Alaska Day Fishing Charter To Gain Lots Of Food

By Carolyn Brown


When people think of the last frontier in the United States, they often think of the wide open spaces of Alaska. The state has some of the wildest, untouched areas full of animals such as fish that you can catch for food. It also offers breathtaking views of the pristine surrounding lands, which you can take in and photograph between line nibbles. Book an Alaska day fishing charter to get this awesome experience.

The companies that offer these charters are really great at getting you ready to go. Most of them have tackle and gear for you, so you do not have to buy a fishing pole. However, if you are a seasoned angler, you are more than welcome to bring your own gear to use. You will need a fishing license, but most businesses can get this for you before you arrive. If they do not supply the license, there are dozens of places you can go to get one quickly, such as a supermarket or outdoor gear supply store.

Halibut is easily one of the two most popular fish that people really love to go on expeditions for. Many of them are huge, with one single specimen often weighing in at a hundred pounds or more. That means you can feed your entire family for days.

Most of the best spots are further out into the water, so you cannot fish from them in a shallow boat near the shore. You need a guide to take you on a larger vessel to the best spots, which can often be at least an hour or much more away from the shore. That is why it is best to get at least a half day charter, if not a full day one. Since you can catch these creatures during any season, you can book one of these trips all year round.

If you want salmon, then Alaska is definitely the place to go. This is the other really popular fish from these waters that everyone wants to fill their freezer with. But unfortunately, they are only available in summer, so you really have to be willing to book for that season.

Since salmon is such a delicacy that many people love, these limited summer charters often fill up quite quickly. You will want to book in advance, especially if you are going on what is called a fly-in trip. This is a journey on a small plane to go to a more secluded spot where there are fewer anglers to compete with, though there is plenty of wildlife like bears.

Bears love salmon too, as it is delicious and full of nutrients they need after a long winter of hibernating. Thankfully, your guide is experienced in dealing with bears and any other wildlife you may encounter to keep you safe. You may actually be able to hunt some of that wildlife if you book a combo trip.

Though polls, bait, and tackle are usually included with most bookings, you will still be expected to have the rest of the needed gear. This means sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat and the right clothing that is appropriate for the season. If you show up without the appropriate gear, you can buy it from a local outdoor supply or Army surplus store.
