Imagine sitting in a boat rocking back and forth just waiting for that trophy fish to swim by. And then it happens. You hook a 60-pound King salmon and the fight is on! This story is pleasantly common at the Kodiak Sportsman’s Lodge located on the shores of Kodiak Island.
At the Kodiak Sportsman’s Lodge you are guaranteed a secluded fishing trip – it’s the law! Located on the shores of Old Harbor, they own four of the six fishing boats permitted to fish the 30-mile stretch of protected waters. During the summer this saltwater harbor becomes a magnet for King salmon, halibut, cod, black bass and silver salmon. You know the fishing is good when past guests have reeled in an 82-pound King salmon and a 22-pound sliver salmon.
After battling all of these fish you’ll be exhausted. No worries. The Alaskan chefs at Kodiak Sportsman’s Lodge prepare a smorgasbord of mouthwatering local cuisine. After dinner relax by the crackling fire with a cocktail and swap your famous fishing stories with friends.
