Sea Fishing Vacation on Alaska
Deep Sea Fishing Vacation - Alaska or Caribbean?
by Dean Forster
In your dreams do you see open waters filled with fish? And in these dreams are you on a boat with a sturdy fishing rod in your hands? Sounds like you need a deep sea fishing vacation. A fishing vacation in Alaska, Bermuda, Bahamas, or the Caribbean will be a dream come true if you are the avid fisherman. The most important step in planning your vacation is to know what species of fish you are hoping to catch. Different destinations have different species of fish. Along with the different species are different climates. If you are lucky, you can find a vacation package that includes multiple destinations such as Hawaii then to Alaska. What a difference that would be!Now, deep sea fishing is not just where you take your canoe or kayak out into the open sea and cast out for a few tropical fish. Deep-sea fishing is often referred to as big-game fishing or even blue-water fishing. Have you ever heard of big-game hunting? That is where people go out to hunt animals that are massive. Well, much is the same for deep sea fishing. Fishermen, this includes women, go out in a large boat with monstrous fishing rods and cast out for fish and even sharks. Since you need a boat to get this sport rolling, it wasn't actually a sport until the boat was invented. Some of the most popular species of fish that are being targeted today are large tuna, billfish, and as mentioned previously sharks. What type of bait do these fishermen use? Smaller fish are used as bait. The smaller fish include small tuna, dolphinfish, barracuda, and Wahoo.
How can you go deep sea fishing without your own yacht or boat? The answer is simple: rent a boat of go on deep sea fishing charters. Renting a boat can be fun, feeling the power of being in charge, but you wouldn't want to do that on your own. That is why when you rent a boat they come equipped with a crew that has many years of experience. On these charters you will find record breaking sized fish.
Have you decided on the destination? You need to have proper clothing and equipment along with you in order for you trip to be successful. Is your destination Alaska? Planning a deep sea fishing vacation to Alaska is very tricky. Bringing the right clothing can be complicated. The weather out on the open sea can change in an instant so that is why you need to bring layers upon layers of extra clothing along. Not only do you want layers of warm winter clothing, but you must also have rain gear. Your clothing wouldn't do you any good if they were completely soaked from the rain. Knowing what to bring on your Caribbean vacation should seem simple, but there are a couple things that you must remember to bring. First of all, sunscreen is a must! The water will reflect the sun and you will be very susceptible to sun burn. Wear a hat and sunglasses as well. Bring clothing that is light, but not loose enough to get caught in the fishing equipment.
No matter where you take your deep sea fishing vacation you must remember one thing. That one thing you must take with you is a camera. Have proof of your fish stories to make sure they are more than just that.

Fish Types for Great Fly Fishing in Alaskan Waters
Fish Types for Great Fly Fishing in Alaskan Waters
by Trevor Price
So, you're planning on fly fishing in Alaska? Do you know the area's different species? What types of fish you can expect to encounter? If not, keep reading for an overview of the area's most abundant fish species. Pacific Salmon
There are four major species of Pacific salmon in Alaska: Chinook salmon (also known as king salmon), pink salmon, silver salmon and sockeye salmon or reds. They're a great game fish, but usually less popular with cold water fly fishers than, say, trout or Arctic char.
It's important to note that while Pacific salmon won't eat after returning to fresh waters, they will still strike subsurface and surface flies. However, fly fishers need to be ready to take in what are a large and aggressive fish species. The king salmon in Alaska can weigh close to or over one hundred pounds.
The Steelhead (Trout Family)
The steelhead is actually a type of rainbow trout, named for its beautiful silver body and steely color. Like salmon, they like to swim in open ocean or bigger lakes, however they'll spawn in nearby rivers. The steelhead will spawn multiple times in its lifetime.
The steelhead is strong, large, high-leaping and long-running, making it highly prized among experience fly fishers. It's also a great catch for the dinner table and an overall tasty fish. The fish averages between 4 and 12 pounds, but can often exceed 20 pounds, particularly in Alaska.
Grayling
The graying is a unique fish, easily identifiable by its high and broad dorsal fin and almost neon blue color on its body and fins. For fly fishing, Alaska graylings are both prized and easy to catch. The fish aren't very discriminating and tend to go for almost any fly.
Graylings mostly feed on live and active insects, but will sometimes eat crustaceans or small minnows. The most effective flies tend to be smaller or dry flies.
An Alaskan grayling will typically grow to about 4 pounds, but they're a tasty catch and well suited to the dinner table.
Arctic Char
As a trout, the Arctic char lives for the pure and cold waters of Alaskan lakes and streams. The fish makes a great catch that's lively and strong, though willing to fall for more flies and slightly easier to trick than the rainbow trout. For fly fishing, Alaskan arctic char is an easy lure, but a fantastic catch.

Alaska Float Fishing Expedition
Tips to Make Your Alaska Float Fishing Expedition Fun
by Trevor Price
If you're planning an Alaska float fishing trip, the key word is "planning." During peak season, quality lodges will book up fast and rates are high, but planning ahead can avoid both disappointment and excessive costs. So, plan ahead, book early and know the best places to be. To find out more on how to make your Alaskan fishing trip a hit, keep reading for tips on what to bring, the best season and where to stay.
Packing List for an Alaskan Float Fishing Trip
Ideally, you want to pack clothes that will layer easily - keeping you prepared for hot sun, rainy days and cold nights. Choose a fabric like performance wool or a high-tech fabric that will wick away sweat, dry quickly if it gets wet and keep you warm at night.
Instead of packing every piece of oversized and heavy fishing gear that you own, call ahead to your lodge or tour company and see what types of equipment will be included in your package. You may still want to pack your favorite lures or gear, but most companies actually provide flies, lures, floats and other fishing supplies.
Finally, invest in high-quality rain gear. While Gore-Tex may seem like the best choice, it is actually only waterproof for about four to six hours. So, though PVC rain gear can be hot, clammy and uncomfortable, it will keep you dryer for a longer period of time on rainy days.
When to Go
The peak season for float fishing in Alaska is the summer, so it's between the months of June and September. You'll likely have warm, if not rainy, weather, great fishing and easy pickings on the water. However, the summer is also prime tourism season, which is why it's so important to book ahead.
Hot Fishing Spots in Alaska
The best fishing spots in Alaska are
* The Kenai River, a water known for its huge salmon * The Copper River Delta, a river delta teeming with salmon and trout * Bristol Bay, an angler's paradise and home to hundreds of remote lodges, and * Kodiak Island, an island oasis that's remote, isolated and crammed with fish
Remember, when you're planning an Alaska float fishing trip, always book the best fishing locations, reserve your place early, go during the season and pack smart. If you're trying to book a charter or lodge, get a recommendation or referral from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game Sport Fish Division.

Fishing in Alaska
Fishing in Alaska by Rlhs76
Alaska Fishing Recreation is an important aspect in the life of human beings. Anglers represent the major group of leisure seekers, and have a determined advantage over the other groups who make use of nature's wonderful creatures and elements for food.
Consequently, the popularity of fishing in many areas had continuously dominated the society. That is why along with its series of activities, people now realize the need for fishing lodges especially in places where fishing activities seem to never end.
Among all fishing lodges available in the industry today, the Alaska Fishing Lodges are among the most treasured and most popular fishing lodges in the United States.
The Alaska Fishing Lodge provides its customers full customer service satisfaction with their wide array of fishing activities and endless strings of fishing fun.
Normally, Alaska Fishing Lodges are made up of logs; sturdily build to provide each angler optimum convenience and comfort. It is known for its spacious interiors, creatively decorated with the right embellishments, thereby, setting the mood for fishing and wilderness.
In addition, because it carries the true Alaskan heritage, Alaska Fishing Lodges offer services and products that can be afforded by anyone. With its affordable rates, the place is inhabited by people, who mostly want to enjoy life and fishing but cannot afford to buy the pleasures in expensive beaches and lodges.
Best of all, Alaska Fishing Lodges are perfectly located in areas where the waters are abundant with the different species of fish. Usually, these lodges are situated in a place where trout, northern pike, and grayling mostly inhabit the waters.
On the other hand, most Alaska Fishing Lodges are built big enough to occupy 16 guests, in which each guest can avail of personal and individualized services.
Moreover, this type of lodge also houses a place where king salmon are abundant especially during the months of June and early part of July. Most lodges also provide a wide variety of fishing equipment, from rods to tackles and lines.
With all these beautiful features present in every Alaska Fishing Lodge, there is no better place to enjoy fishing and the wilderness like what this particular lodge can offer.
Staying in an Alaska Fishing Lodge is, indeed, an ultimate fishing experience.
Alaska is known as one of the most bountiful areas with salmon, and is ideal for fishing trips.
This is because of extreme tides along the West Coast and the gush of ocean currents that create an environment ideal for the breeding of thousands of baitfish.
It is also known as one of the best places to go if one wants to fish for giant King Salmon, the largest specie of salmon fish.
The best way to catch these giant salmon (in saltwater) is through trolling or by angling a baited line drawn into the water.
Fishing for giant King Salmon can be a year round activity (especially in Seward).
The most sought-after species of salmon are the following:
1. The King Salmon (Chinook) are the largest of all these species. Its weight averages between 20-40 pounds, the heaviest recorded of which is 112 pounds, and can be as long as 3-4". It has a blue-green back that is lightly spotted.
The average life span of a Chinook Salmon is about five to seven years.
Its flesh can range in color from ivory white to a deep red.
Common names for this specie of salmon include tyee, springs, mouth/kings quinnat and tule.
2. Silver Salmon (Coho) on the other hand is slightly smaller with an average weight of 8-12 pounds.
This specie prefers small streams in which to spawn between the months of July to November.
3. Sockeye salmon, on the other hand, are the most sought-after of its entire species because its flesh has a color of deep red and it has a firm rich flavor.
In fishing for salmon in Alaska, one has to be well equipped with the right equipment (and donned with the appropriate apparel).
Listed below are some of the needed equipment/materials and tips for hassle-free fishing:
1. You must be clad in layers of warm clothes (not necessarily bulky ones as it can hinder in the fishing activity).
2. Over these everyday clothes, a waterproof overall, boots and bibs are likewise necessary to ensure that one would stay dry since after a hook-up, some fish may resist with maximum struggles.
3. Fleet or cruisers that offer services for fishing are usually stocked with bait.
4. A guide on board a cruiser ensures that even amateur fishermen will enjoy the activity by providing crash-lessons onboard. They usually hook the bait for the guest and inform the party as to where specific species of fish may thrive for selective fishing.
