Thanks again for your hospitality. The kids had a great time, an experience truly they will never forget. It's great to also join the triple digit halibut club. See you next year.
P.S. Paul apologizes for the fish in the hot-tub.
Salmon Fishing at False Island Lodge
The salmon are abundant in the Sitka region, and the Chinook populations increase every year. This is a great fishery! One of the unique aspects of False Island Lodge is our flexibility; we are eager to serve! While most charter operators only offer one approach to salmon fishing, we offer you the option of trolling or mooching.
Mooching, which is drifting with live bait, is a great way for everyone on the boat to get a lot of action. Another popular method is trolling with downriggers.
Both approaches are very effective methods of catching salmon. The boats feature walk-around decks, accommodating ease of movement around the boat.
Our Captains
Our experienced captains will determine the best method based on current conditions.
Our captains were born and raised in Sitka, and are some of the most experienced guides that you will find anywhere in Alaska.
Sitka and the surrounding area has some of the best salmon fishing in the world if not the best in the world. We catch allot of salmon every year.
Shrimping and Crabbing
Shrimping and crabbing is another fun part of your fishing day. Our 23-foot Munson Packman can deliver you to our shrimp and crab traps within a few-minutes run from the lodge, and can be a very fun after dinner adventure. There is nothing better than fresh Alaskan crab!
