Seward is a small coastal town located 122 land
miles from the city of Anchorage. Seward is known as the gateway to the Kenai Fjords National Park. The waters around Seward are some of the most pristine and beautiful in the world. We fish in the Kenai Fjords National Park, Resurrection Bay, the Gulf of Alaska, and in the entrance to Prince William Sound. These waters are teeming with trophy halibut, lingcod, rockfish, and in season, hundreds of thousands of Coho salmon. Typically, the halibut and rockfish are very plentiful from mid-April until the end of September. The Coho salmon are in full force by early July and strong until early September. King Salmon can be caught year round in Seward. Every trip is a fantastic sightseeing excursion. We regularly see whales, sea otters, Stellar sea lions, and an incredible variety of sea birds. The Seward Chamber of Commerce hosts two fishing tournaments the Seward Halibut Jackpot Tournament and the Seward Silver Salmon Derby The Halibut Jackpot Tournament runs from Mid May until early August. There are great weekly prizes for fish that are closest to a predetermined weight between 50 and 120 pounds. There are also random drawings for great prizes. The Seward Silver Salmon Derby is one of Alaska's oldest and richest tournaments. There are tagged salmon worth up to 10,000 dollars as well and hundreds of prizes for a variety of categories.
