Seward, Alaska Fishing Trips
When people think of Alaska fishing trips, they envision big fish, or catching lots of fish. In Seward, Alaska, you get both! Seward is home to some of the best halibut fishing in the world, with fish over 300 pounds taken each summer. Limits of halibut are common. Seward also has the best silver salmon fishing in Alaska. In the calm, protected waters of Ressurection Bay, anglers can keep six fish per person.
Capt. Andy Martin originally came to Alaska to guide on the Kenai River. Then he discovered the phenominal halibut and salmon fishing out of Seward. Licensed by the U.S. Coast Guard to run boats up to 100 tons up to 100 miles offshore, Andy has gained a repuation of getting his customers into limits of halibut and salmon, and catching plenty of trophy-class fish. He operates boats for one of Alaska's premier charter boat company, Puffin Charters, which has been providing exceptional customer service, catching limits and taking people on the ultimate Alaskan fishing adventure for more than two decades.
Andy is one of the few Alaska captains to begin running trips the first of May. In May and June, he focuses on halibut, rockfish and Pacific cod. By July, salmon have shown up, and Andy begins running combo trips, going after halibut and salmon or halibut and lingcod in the same day.
An expert salmon fisherman, Andy knows how to get his customets into lots of salmon, even when the fishing is slow. If the fish are concentrated, Andy will "mooch," or jig for salmon. If they are spread out, he trolls.
During the 2007 and 2008 seasons, Andy was successful in getting his clients into some of the biggest halibut caught out of Seward, with dozens of fish topping 100 pounds. Andy is one of the few captains who fishes year round, spending summers in Seward and winters guiding for salmon, lingcod and steelhead in Oregon and Northern California.
