Alaskan Gamefisher offers several different types of fishing trips, each designed to make the most of Alaska’s waters. The halibut fishing trips are particularly popular, with the best time to catch these fish being from May to August, when the halibuts migrate to the Kenai Peninsula in search of food. For those who want to catch salmon, Alaskan Gamefisher provides both freshwater and saltwater trips targeting various salmon species, including King, Sockeye, and Silver Salmon. These trips include multi-day fishing charters, with accommodation options available to make your stay even more enjoyable. If you want to experience the most remote areas of Alaska, the flyout fishing trips are perfect. These trips take you to pristine rivers via floatplane, offering a more secluded fishing experience. Alaskan Gamefisher’s flyout trips are available for salmon fishing starting in early June, with peak times for Sockeye from early June to late July and Silver Salmon starting around mid-July. Alaskan Gamefisher also offers saltwater fishing trips out of Homer, Alaska, which focus on halibut from June to August. In addition to fishing, Alaskan Gamefisher gives you the opportunity to see Alaska’s wildlife, with bear viewing and bird watching trips available.

Lodging options at Alaskan Gamefisher are also available, making it easy to combine your fishing adventures with a comfortable place to stay. The company offers a guest house in Soldotna that includes three bedrooms, a full kitchen, and a laundry room. This accommodation is perfect for those looking for a home-like atmosphere during their trip. Alaskan Gamefisher also offers both private and shared charters. Private charters provide personalized attention from Captain Mel and allow for a more customized trip, whether it’s for a single day or several days. The shared charters, which bring together mixed groups, have a set fishing schedule and offer less flexibility in terms of fishing locations. These charters require a minimum of four people per trip.

The boat used by Alaskan Gamefisher is a custom-built, 30-foot aluminum vessel designed to handle the shallow bays and remote shorelines of Cook Inlet, which is known for having some of the largest tidal fluctuations in the world. The boat is equipped with comfortable seating and accommodates up to six people, ensuring a comfortable and efficient fishing experience. The boat is ideal for both fishing trips and bear viewing, offering a flexible, high-quality adventure without the crowds. Whether you’re looking for a single day of fishing or a more extended stay with various activities, Alaskan Gamefisher offers a top-tier service that guarantees a rewarding and enjoyable experience.
