Sportsfishing for Halibut and Salmon: Monster Halibut are throughout Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska. In 1995 one of our customers placed 3rd in the Valdez Halibut Derby with a 229.8 pound fish. While the average Halibut caught in Alaskan waters is 22 pounds, fish over 100, 200 and sometimes 300 plus pounds can, and do, hit your line like a freight train, so hang on!!! |
The Coho Salmon Derby winner this year was 19.07 pounds, and talk about fight--these fish go ballistic!! This past year was great, with limits of 6 fish to an angler caught in under 2 hours!! You can extend your fishing trauma by safe releasing your catch, and fishing 'til your arms wear out. Pink Salmon literally boil the water. |
