Salmon season is in full swing at Island Point Lodge, and during our busy season, you’ll be given the opportunity to take the challenge in reeling in the massive King Salmon you’ve been waiting for! When you go to any given restaurant that serves salmon, most people ask where the salmon is from, and when the answer is Alaska, everyone radiates a smile. Foodies love to hear that their salmon is from Alaska, and for a good reason! Our Petersburg Alaska fishing lodge is located near a King Salmon Hatchery, where Chinooks size can range anywhere from 15-40 pounds, which is the top reason anglers dream of an Alaska fishing adventure.
Tips and Tricks
With Alaska King Salmon season being well underway at Island Point Lodge, and these hungry Chinooks are ready to give you a run for your money while in Alaska fishing! When baiting for that King Salmon, you’ll want to focus on the colors, bait selection as well as the gear you choose as they all will cohesively work together to wrestle with that monster catch! Slow and steady wins the race, you’ll first need to grab the attention of that King Salmon, and moving too quickly may set you up to fail.
