Remote Alaska Kayak Fishing Trip of a Lifetime

Saltwater Kayak Fishing
1

Well, plans are getting finalized. Two others, JonS and MSGDan (From KFS Forums) have committed to the trip, leaving only 3 slots remaining.

I just reserved the Port Chalmers Cabin, on Montague Island, in Prince William Sound for the 21st through 25th of July. (Today as the first day possible to reserve the Cabin, it cost $35.00 a night.)

According to local guides in the area, the waters near this cabin are excellent for Halibut, Lingcod, Salmon and various Rockfish. The NOAA Charts show lots and lots of structure within a short paddle from the cabin, and because of its location on the leedward side of the island and with Green Island close by, it should be fairly protected in all but the fiercest weather.

Water Transportation has been scheduled, but has yet to be reserved ($500.00 a person is a party of 6). I will need to get this taken care of soon, as this is the only cost of the whole trip, besides Airfare and Cabin Rental, that requires pre-planning this early, to ensure it is available.

Kayaks, Wilderness Systems Ride 135’s have been reserved.

Everything else can be arranged at the last minute.

Those who can’t fish, spend too much on seafood!

Looks like a full boat…

If anyone is still interested, I will keep on standby list on first come first serve basis.

Just a heads up for those interested… Due to the fact that this trip filled so fast, and the fact that three of us are going to extend our stay, looks like we will have two or three more slots open up for the 25th through 29th of July…

This is the 5 days after the already full trip. Three of us are staying for the full 8 nights/9 days and three are doing 4 nights and 5 days, and will return to Valdez on the 25th. Looking to swap them out on the 25th.

If interested, please contact me…

YakontheFly, F-trooper here… Your trip sounds like a ton of fun… I lived in Alaska for several years and still have family in Eagle River. I have caught many a salmon, rainbow, and halibut the old way, but by far the sportiest thing I have seen fishing is a friend reel in a 65lb halibut in a sit-in kayak. Prince William Sound is one of the most beautiful places in the world hands down. Beware of fast and furious weather changes and you should have a geat time. Best of luck.
