I had a chance to visit this place and find out why is it that people called it "Salmon-hunter's heaven". Two ventures into the sea were enough to tell me why the people thought so. Faster frequency of sighting the salmons coupled with furious rate of hooking the fishes will ensure that you just will not have a dull moment out in the waters. If catching a King Salmon was all about testing one's endurance as each of these Kings weighed around 15-60 pounds, catching a Coho was a test of our reflexes and flexibility. We did rounds of Kruzof and Klockachef Islands and the catch that we had to show was something that I am proud of as yet. Close to 80 pounds of fish caught in two days would have made me one of the top Alaskan fishermen. With the test given to me by Kings and Cohos with both asking me different questions, I ultimately emerged in a win-win situation. My fishing skills were tuned to the hilt and better still, when I came ashore, I could eat the fish that I caught. 80 pounds of fish would have made me richer by some dollars, considering I could throw up a buffet supper for my friends.
If you are looking for fast-paced action in the Oceans, I would recommend you to visit Sitka in the months of July - August. This is when you will sight maximum Salmons, and obviously the more you see, the more you may end up catching. So, happy fishing Salmons in Sitka
