Captain Steve's Fishing Lodge
~ Fishing ~
Captain Steve will take you fishing. We'll target anything from
halibut and salmon to yellow eyes, rockfish, and big ling cod depending on the
season, weather and your interests. We'll even target all
of them on the same
trip!
- Halibut to over three hundred pounds. We anchor or drift and use cut bait, (herring, cod, octopus, cod, salmon, salmon and cod heads) and Captain Steve's 16oz. lead heads with Giant Grubs. The depths we fish average 30 to 270 feet.
- Lingcod over
70 80 pounds. We drift over large pinnacles with Captain Steve's 16oz. lead heads with Giant Grubs. The depths range from 40 to 150 feet.
- Rockfish: yellow
eyes, black bass, etc.
~ exceeding 20 & 30 pounds. The Yelloweyes and other rockfish are taken the same way as the Lingcod in the same areas and depths. The Black Rockfish are usually caught very shallow with ultra light tackle on 4 to 5 oz. lures.
- Alaska Salmon target species:
- King
Salmon /Chinook (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) to over
80 pounds!
~ the 40 to 50 pound range is not uncommon ~ summer runs & winter runs (fishing year round) Trolling and mooching with whole and cut plug herring, usually in 15 to 35 feet of water with light tackle during the summer months. In the winter we use down riggers with an assortment of spoons, herring and flashers.
- Silver Salmon /Coho
(Oncorhynchus kisutch). We do a little trolling but ultra light tackle and vertical jigging with metal bars from the surface down to about 40 feet is best.
- Sockeye/Red Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka). From the banks of the Kasilof and Kenai Rivers we use coho flies and drift them in front of you right next to the shore, extremely exciting!
- Chum (Oncorhynchus keta)
- Pink (Oncorhynchus
gorbuscha). We use the same techniques as the silvers on the saltwater and sockeyes on the fresh.
- Clamming for razor, little neck and steamer clams.
- Crabbing for Tanner Crabs.
- And nature watching (whale
watching).
