Alaskan Halibut Fishing
By Rayboptions, Fri Dec 9th

If you are looking for a Great Fishing Adventure then you mustgo to Alaska and fish for Halibut. As you will see it’s morethan just a fishing trip.

I recently went to Alaska (for the first time) to go Halibutfishing, and got much more than I had expected. After flyingacross the country in big jumbo jets, when you leave for thelodge from Juneau you go in a Float Plane or Sea Plane, as theyare commonly known. I went in a single passenger Plane, just thePilot and me sitting side by side. The flight to the lodge takesyou over and between many Mountains that are always Snow capped.You take off on the water and land on the water, if you havenever done this before it’s a great experience all by itself.

Once at the Lodge (always Saturday) within a half-hour you haveyour License and are on the boat heading out to sea. Besides theHalibut I caught Coho and King Salmon, Ling Cod, Red Snapper.The largest I caught was 140 pounds, King Salmon was 40pounds, Coho Salmon was 15 pounds and the Ling Cod was 44pounds. Work your muscles before you go because you willdefinitely be sore after the first days fishing, you can use theHot Tub to relax after you return.


If you want to go Stream Fishing with either Spinning orFly-fishing gear that’s also available. We encountered Bear’salso fishing in the stream.

Besides the Bear along the Streams you will also see BaldEagles, Seals, Sea Otters, Sea Lions and if you’re lucky as wewere you will see a Whale or two. Bring cameras and/orcamcorders.

The food is fantastic. Full breakfast, eggs, pancakes, omelets.Lunch on the boat, sandwiches, soda, beer, smoked Salmon. Dinneris mainly the fish caught that day but served like you’ve neverhad fish prepared before, we also had a Steak dinner.

The fish that are caught each day are fillet and frozen inseparate vacuumed sealed packages. Each package is a pound oftwo and you choose the % of each type of fish caught you takehome. I took 75% and 25% Salmon and had about 100 poundsof frozen fish in two ready to take boxes.

As you can see this is a very professional operation and Iguarantee when you go that you will agree that it’s more thanjust a fishing trip, it’s an Alaskan adventure. For informationplease visit the web-site of the very best Fishing Lodge inAlaska: http://Tanaku.com
