Summer 2025 is shaping up to be a memorable season for anglers in Sitka, Alaska, with families and fishing enthusiasts alike enjoying the bounty of the North Pacific.
The highlight of early summer has been watching the next generation of fishermen get hooked on the sport. On June 18th, two young anglers (pictured above) were all smiles as they cranked in king salmon, creating memories that will last a lifetime. It has been a joy to share Alaska’s incredible fisheries with kids and families, and these moments remind us why we love what we do.
Just a few days earlier, on June 12th, we hosted three generations of fishermen on the water. Their success with beautiful king salmon was matched only by the joy of being together in such a stunning setting. Experiences like these underscore the unique magic of Sitka, a place where families come together and traditions are born.
Say Hello to the New Rig
Looking ahead, we are thrilled about our new charter boat, set to launch soon. At over 45 feet long and 12.5 feet wide, she promises to deliver a premium fishing experience for our clients. The finishing touches are underway, and we cannot wait to welcome anglers aboard this state-of-the-art vessel.
Sitka Fishing Outlook: The Rest of Summer
This summer, Sitka has offered excellent fishing for king salmon, halibut, rockfish, and lingcod. Halibut and bottomfish are also plentiful, rounding out the classic Sitka saltwater experience.
Anglers should note that king salmon regulations remain strict in 2025, with nonresidents limited to one king salmon per day and per year. Always check for the latest updates from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game before heading out.
Weather conditions have been generally favorable, with mild temperatures and plenty of sunny days, though occasional rough seas have reminded us to be prepared.
All in all, the 2025 season is delivering great fishing, family fun, and anticipation for even bigger adventures ahead.
