Seward Alaska Silver Salmon Fishing Charters
   
 

When fishing Seward, Alaska for Silver (Coho) salmon you can expect fast and furious action! Starting in late June till the end of August the waters around Seward, Alaska come alive with massive schools of aggressive hard fighting silvers. The silver salmon is called “acrobats of the sea”, for their ability to consistently leap out of the water when hooked. These fish average 8 to 13 lbs early in the season and as the season progresses these fish can average 14 to 18 lbs!

Fishing with med-light tackle and our techniques you will experience multiple hook-ups and spectacular action for everyone. While knee deep into silver salmon fishing, it is not uncommon to hook a variety of other salmon. You could be reeling in a King (Chinook), Pink (Humpy), Red (Sockeye) or Dog (chum) salmon! When fishing near rock piles you could possibly catch an assortment of rockfish. The limit for silvers is 6 for each angler inside Resurrection Bay or 3 silvers outside of Resurrection Bay. Although you can catch 3 silvers outside the bay, you can come back inside the bay and catch the other 3 silvers!

Seward Silver Salmon Fishing Techniques
The best methods we use for catching salmon are mooching and jigging! Unlike trolling with
downriggers where you have to wait your turn due to the restriction of the amount of lines you can
fish. When trolling for salmon, the fish expends a lot of energy chasing the trolled lure. When we
mooch or jig for salmon, our clients consistently get more hook-ups! Nothing can compare to the
excitement of hooking your own fish and fighting a salmon that is full of energy! We use a small
green sinker tied to a short red leader with a colored gamakatsu hook. For bait we use a hoochie
skirt and cut herring. We mooch or jig this fishing leader anywhere from 10 feet to 80 feet. When
you feel a “tap tap” at the end of your fishing pole, set the hook and let the fun begin!
