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.
These specie prefer 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.

Fishing for carp is a really rewarding hobby as carp are pretty smart and learn from experience and sometimes recognise fishing bait as dangerous. Even so, with a bit of cunning, you can lure carp and fool them into being hooked. Here are just a few tips to help you with your carp fishing:-
- Add plenty of salt to particle baits, especially the cooked varieties like hemp, maize, tares, beans, partiblend seeds, maple peas and chick peas. The carp enjoy salty food. Approximately, add one tablespoon of salt to 5 litres of dry particles. These are also good cheap baits to use!
- Experiment by adding chillies to some particle baits. The carp fish appear to love that fiery “kick” from those chillies. Roughly, add two tablespoons to five litres of particles.
- Use several pellet sizes or particles in a spod mix. This really “throws” the carp (confuses them), and also gives you the choice to try several sizes on the hook.
- If you can, try not to use round shaped bait. So many fishing lines sport rounded bait, you want to be different. Try to square up the hook bait using scissors.
- Lastly, make sure you have the right fishing gear with you. Research what you should bring online. You can find all kinds of things online, such as carp fishing tackle - and make sure you enjoy yourself!
