Alaska Trophy Halibut and Salmon

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 reputation of getting his customers into limits of halibut and salmon, and catching plenty of trophy-class fish. After several years running large charter boats in Seward, Andy began fishing out of Gustavus, near Glacier Bay National Park, in 2010. He has guided customers into halibut topping 400 pounds, and dozens of fish weighing more than 300 and 200 pounds. Andy also is one of the top producers for king salmon in Gustavus, both in the protected waters of the Inside Passage and in the salmon-rich waters of Deer Harbor in the Gulf of Alaska

Gustavus is known for its giant halibut in calm, protected water. The dock is located within five miles of some of the best halibut fishing in world, unlike many Alaska ports, where boats must run two hours or longer to the halibut grounds.
In the past two years, two world-record size halibut over 450 pounds have been caught out of Gustavus. One captain released a fish that was likely pushing 500 pounds.
Near the mouth of Glacier Bay, halibut anglers will use herring, Pollock, and even whole pink salmon to catch halibut ranging from 40 to 400 pounds. Limits are the norm. And the average size is the highest in Alaska. Best of all, the halibut are caught in fairly shallow water, usually around 100 feet, and in protected waters surrounded by islands and coves.
Giant lingcod, yelloweye rockfish and black rockfish also are abundant near Gustavus.

"Andy we are celebrating our 1st anniversary of having been to Alaska to fish for the halibut and silvers. You were very instrumental in having us enjoy an unforgetable experience. You were superb and we had the trip of our lifetime.
- Walter Block, Michigan

Alaskan Salmon

Alaskan Halibut

When people think of Alaska fishing trips, they envision big fish, or catching lots of fish. In Gustavus, Alaska, you get both! Gustavus, located next to Glacier Bay National Park, is home to perhaps the best halibut fishing in the world, with fish over 400 pounds taken each summer. Limits of halibut are common. Gustavus also has some of the best lingcod, yelloweye, king salmon and silver salmon fishing in Alaska.

400-pound halibut caught every year in Gustavus

King salmon, silvers, sockeye, pinks and chums all caught throughout season

All five species of Pacific salmon are caught out of Gustavus. The main draw is abundant silver salmon, and hard-fighting and great-tasting king salmon.
Some kings are caught within a few miles of the Gustavus dock in Excursion Inlet and near Pleasant Island. But the best king fishing is where the Inside Passage meets the Gulf of Alaska. Here, tens of thousands of king salmon gather to feed on massive schools of herring and other baitfish. Andy is an expert at trolling plug-cut herring, which often results in quick limits of kings.
Silver salmon fishing is among the best in Alaska near Gustavus. Anglers can keep six coho salmon a day, in addition to six-fish limits of sockey, chums and pink salmon.
There are weeks when all five species of Pacific salmon are caught by customers fishing with Andy.

Andy captains a boat for Alaskan Anglers Inn, one of Alaska's premier fishing lodges. He is one of the few captains who fishes year round, spending summers in Gustavus and winters guiding for salmon, lingcod and steelhead in Oregon and Northern California.
