King Salmon Fishing

King Salmon come into the Kenai River in two overlapping runs. The first run of Kings begins mid May, and continues through the end of June. An average first run King weighs in at 35-45 lbs & can weigh upwards of 90 pounds. The first run fishing is less crowded and can be very productive.

The world record was taken in May of 1985 weighing 97 lbs. 4 oz. Kenai River King Salmon are the largest in the world! Anglers from far and near return yearly in search of that King Salmon that will break the record. Incredible numbers of Kings returning yearly make this the true “King Salmon Capital of the World.”

The Kenai River is world famous for producing trophy King salmon. Starting in May we fish this beautiful river in our 20’ Willie Predator Boats powered with Honda four stroke outboards. The preferred method of fishing is back trolling K-16 Kwikfish with a sardine wrap, back bouncing, and drifting salmon egg clusters. We arm each client with a 9 foot G-Loomis Rod with a Shimano reel filled with state of the art spectra Tuff-Line. With two distinct runs of King Salmon, fishing is excellent all through May, June and the second run in July. Expect Kings on average of 30-50 pounds with many coming in at the 60, 70 and 80 pound class.

The Kasilof River is a drift boat fishery. Being a shallow river we use 20’ Willie Drift boats, fishing 4 anglers. Our experienced guides will teach you the preferred method of back-bouncing salmon egg clusters. Using lighter rods usually 8 ½ foot G-Loomis you will experience the true thrill of fishing from feeling the bite, setting the hook, and battling the fish. The run starts in May and runs through June and the last half of July. Average size being a respectable 15-30 pounds. Awesome fishing and unstoppable action!

Saltwater King Salmon combo trips are a favorite May fishery for many anglers. Fish King Salmon entering the Cook Inlet in search of their home river. With thousands of fish returning the Inlet fishing is awesome. Trolling herring in depths of 15-40 ft these Kings will take you for a ride in the wide-open ocean. But don’t leave to early, after fishing the tide for King Salmon we take our 28’ Offshore Cruisers out in the depths for Trophy Halibut. Fish for Salmon and Halibut all on one trip!

Silver Salmon Fishing

Silver Salmon run in August and the second run in September making the fall season Fishery on the Kenai Peninsula a popular time. Whether Fishing the Kenai, Kasilof or Seward’s Resurrection Bay expect acrobatic jumps and reel screaming runs. These fighters are notorious for burning up drags and snapping rods. These mint bright beauties are on average 10-20 pounds and when the Fishing is hot expect limits in hours. Using light action G-Loomis rods with Shimano reels filled with 17-pound test expect some great fights. Silver Salmon Fishing is simple and relaxing but the catching action is fast and furious

Kenai River Silvers are a local favorite because of the relaxing Fishing techniques and plentiful bounty. Our method of Fishing on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers consist of anchoring the boat and back bouncing salmon egg clusters or Kwikfish, or casting spinners, The take down of the rod is by far the most exhilarating part of the battle but don’t set the hook to early, they are know to leave many anglers bait less and scratching their heads in disbelief.

Pink Salmon run on even years. Returning in even numbered years in late July through August, Pinks are the single most aggressive Salmon that return to the Kenai. Their sheer numbers and willingness to strike anything shiny makes them a favorite with kids, novice Fishermen, and anyone who Fishes for the thrill of the catch. Best when taken fresh from the salt water, Pinks have a delicate white flesh that looses its texture rapidly once they enter fresh water. Caught by casting spinners and spoons.

Seward (Resurrection Bay) Silvers Ask us about the Seward Silver Salmon Derby. This salt water Fishery is in mid-August and has a 6 fish limit. Mooching cut-plug herring as bait, our captains will put you in to amazing huge schools of Silvers. With a few cranks up and a fluttering rod tip it's FISH ON! This Fishery begins in August and is becoming a must do by all of our clients. But the action does not stop. Ling Cod, Sea Bass, Red Snapper and Halibut are also on the menu.

Sockeye (Red) Salmon

Sockeye Salmon or otherwise know as Red Salmon average 6-12 lbs & are know for their awesome fights and excellent table fare. Some believe that Kenai River Sockeye Salmon are the best eating Salmon in the world and pound for pound the best fighters. Each year literally a million Sockeye Salmon enter the Kenai River. This makes for some awesome Fishing action.

Kenai-Russian River Sockeye the first run will start their seasonal migration in mid May shooting straight to the upper Kenai River. By the middle of June the Russian River will be well loaded with Reds and they will open up the sanctuary for Fishing. The second run starts the first week in July and last through the whole month of July through mid August. These second run Fish will stay more concentrated in the lower Kenai River

Sockeye tend to hug the bank so most Fishing is done from the shore. Our guides can lead you to a stretch of river where you will get out of the boats and Fish off the banks. At times it will be in the lower river and at other times the guides will lead their clients into the beautiful Kenai National Wildlife Refuge where competition is less. With a quick roll cast up river, a style found only on the Kenai, a 3/0 salmon hook seasoned with colored yarn the fireworks begin with an explosion of FISH being hooked and lost. Don’t worry Fishing is fast and frantic and the three Fish limit is an easy task to complete. Hooking a hundred Fish in a day is not uncommon from an avid angler.

Fly-Out Fishing for Sockeye Salmon. Enjoy a scenic trip across Cook Inlet aboard a floatplane and Fish untouched rivers for Sockeye Salmon. You will have a few friends around (Brown Bears) but do not worry the BEARS are after the same thing you are, the FISH.

Halibut

Barn door-sized Halibut Huge Massive and Giants are some of the words we hear when clients talk about the great Halibut Fishing in Cook Inlet. Even our most seasoned clients have a difficult time against these delicious giants. Our Halibut average 25-50 pounds with hundreds caught over 100 pounds each year. Some customers have caught them in the 200 and 300 pound class. Fishing is steady throughout the whole season. Imagine yourself catching Fish this big! You will definitely be the envy of all your Fishing buddies when you pull out that picture of your Halibut that weighed in over the century mark.

Homer the Halibut Capital of the World has the largest fleet of Halibut charter boats of any harbor in Alaska. This Fishery also Fishes the same waters of Cook Inlet and is 20 miles South of the Deep Creek beach launch. I have Fished Cook Inlet for over 25 years now and if you asked me which one was better and where you should Halibut Fish, I would have to say you better try BOTH.
