If it's a last minute trip, check to see how the silver salmon run is. If you booked your trip months in advance like most people do there isn't anything you can do about it, but there are plenty of other fish to catch.

This was my 1st time fishing in Seward and it was an awesome experience!! Captain Mike and DH Trey were great! They got along extremely well with everyone in our party. The location they took us to fish was very productive and the boat was solid. I would definitely go out with them again.

Always be prepared for weather changes. Realize this is a "fishing" charter, not a "catching" charter. Know the guides WANT you to catch fish and they are acutely aware that your experience in their office dictates future business so they want happy fished up customers. Be prepared, polite and fun and you will get that back in spades from them. If something isn't the way you want it, ask for a change and keep an open mind.

Cannot plan around the weather. We had rainy-windy day. Could not get out into the big water due to small craft advisory. We still caught our limit of halibut & salmon. Plus we landed a good mess of nice Pacific Cod & Rockfish.

Devote several days and try different trip options...so you increase your odds for both good weather and finding the fish. And savor the whole experience, the whales and sea otters, the food, the people and history. And listen to the guides--unless you've fished a lot of Alaska, it's not like anything you've done before. And be flexible--make the most of whatever the weather and fish gods offer. And at the end of the day, have the best dinner in Alaska at The Cookery.

I would say 3.5 stars. Fishing out of Seward for the last 20 years I have seen it decline greatly. Lots of new rule from Fish and Game, hopefully that improves the over all experience for everyone.

Weather can be cold and rainy so just prepare properly with insulating layers and wind/water resistant outer layer. If you are prone to motion sickness get medication ahead of time. I used a transdermal patch behind my ear and it worked great, but the waters can be very rough so plan accordingly and enjoy your trip.

Book a Charter with a company with reputable reviews and have them show you the time of your life. Blue Ice Charters is my recommendation, you won't regret it. Crew was great with younger kids. Very patient and friendly.

Check the weather have good rain gear if the weather is nasty. If you get sick on the water be sure to stop and get stuff to help so you have a enjoyable time on the water fishing catching slob halibut. Also get lots of sleep cause Bobbie will have you catching fish.

Find a nice place to stay. Get good rest. Ensure you are rested, Have a lunch and take some non drowsy Dramamine if you even think you might be sick. It is hard to have a good experience when you are getting sick. Wear warm cloths (layered) and wear non slip waterproof shoes. NO BANANAS ON BOARD!!!!!!!!!! Don't forget rain gear.

Get on a boat like the legend or renegade through fishing booker/salt water safari it’s so easy and you’ll love the experience

This trip does not have a boat. It is from the shore and uses a method called snagging. If you want to fish from a boat the traditional way, this is not it.
Bryce Akagi
Fishing the shore in Seward can be hit or miss depending on the fishing gods. Snag fishing is a different type of fishing and needs some schools of fish for a large catch.
Stacey Murphy
The time we went was when hardly anyone was catching Salmon, it wasn’t just our boat, the fish either weren’t there or they just weren’t biting.
Jeffrey Brinkman
Dress in layers. Have rain gear just in case. Waterproof shoes or hiking boots (deck can be wet and slippery once fish on board!)

We enjoyed the beautiful boat. It had an inside cabin that was heated. It also has a flush toilet-important to a female such as myself!
Lori McElligott
Ling was not open and we could not keep the yellow eye. So go after July if you want to keep more of what is caught. Halibut was good.
Matthew Hall
Cold and a bit wet, and the biggest halibut aren’t in the area yet. But we got one that was over 100lbs, and plenty of rockfish and smaller halibut. Not very busy out there.

Make it a priority to fish in Seward on your trip, it is an absolutely stunning setting and the fish did not disappoint.

Prepare for rain but bring a short sleeved shirt just in case the sun comes out! Plenty of space to store your backpacks and coolers so if you think you may need it-bring it.

Be prepared for cold and wet weather and listen to the captain and crew-they will do their best to guide you to catch fish!

Plan the trip so that you have time to freeze your fish before going home. It’s very pricy to send it home if you don’t have time to freeze it and take it on the plane.

Go for silvers and take the time to research who you go with and be very clear about what you want from species to tackle.
Dan Fairbanks
Do your homework. Pay a little more . It cost a lot just to get there and stay there . Spend the extra on the fishing.
Renee Miller

Always bring proper wet weather gear and multiple layers for when weather conditions change. Don't forget your angler gloves for letting down your line to avoid thumb blisters.

Just enjoy the water, scenery and those that you're with. Fish may bite or not, but any day out on the water is a good day!!

Be ready for an adventure! Would only recommend big kids or adventurous families who are used to the water!

The weather was wet and cold but we did have some success fishing. Bring gear to keep you warm and dry.
Zach Barney

Lots of halibut and rockfish. Alaska F&W paused keeping of yelloweye and lingcod till July tho, so we had to catch and release those ones.

Don't look at the weather forecast. The weater called for rain all three days we were in Seward and we got gorgeous weather with calm waters!!!!
