Sitka should be at the top of your list when it comes to fishing in Alaska. The Alaska Dept. of Fish & Game ranks Sitka highest in the region in both total catch and catch rate for halibut and king salmon. Our proximity to the open ocean provides a steady supply of fish, while the islands, bays, and passageways provide sheltered waters for fishing.

Salmon and Halibut on the Same Day
A big advantage to fishing Sitka with Kingfisher Charters is that we fish for both salmon and halibut on the same day, every day. Some Alaska charter companies require you to devote the whole day’s fishing to one species. With us, unless you request otherwise, you’ll fish for salmon and halibut each day, and usually catch a limit of both, along with some lingcod and rockfish.

2009 fishing limits:
King Salmon: 1 per day, 3 per year
Silver Salmon: 6 per day, no annual limit
Halibut: 1 per day, no annual limit
Lingcod: 1 per day, 2 per year, one 30-35” slot and 1 over 55” trophy, catch and release only June 16 – August 15
Yelloweye Rockfish: 1 per day, 2 per year
