    Default Alaska Fishing


    Has anyone ever taken one of the Alaska fishing trips that I see ads on. The price usually turns me off. At $1,000a day is getting steep. But my time is running out and I still haven't figured out how to take it with me. I wish I knew someone there that I could visit and they'd take me fishing.

    That's on my bucket list too Gerald. Like you, I have not wanted to open my wallet and spend the money. Maybe someday.

    On thing my Dad taught me when he died at age 49... you can't wait too long for those things you want/need. Do it now before you can't do it. No pockets in coffins
    Just saying

    My Daddy used to say that you have never seen a Wells Fargo truck in a funeral procession. Pretty funny when you think about it.

    had a friend there and got to go for a couple weeks did pretty good for time we put in fishing
    did not care for the halibut fishing nor eating them but salmon was good and plenty of fun to catch.
    it is not cheep no way you go but you can go for less then a grand a day on your own.
    I think I have some info on where to go and sort of what to do if you want it let me know and ill try
    to dig it up for ya

    Your not going to find a good guided saltwater fishing trip for less than $1000 anywhere. Why complain? Go do it!

    I just want to to lake and river fishing. I've had enough of the ocean fishing over my past years.. I fidhed for Salmon in Mich for 15 years and that was fun, but just always wanted to fish Alaska. I think that finding the right place from someone that has been to a place that says that that place was good or it wasn't what they had expected means a lot to me. I know I' have went to places that were a real let down and others were more than I had expected. Maybe several of us here should plan a big trip there. I wonder how a group of Southern Red Necks would fit in there.

    I am fortunate to have a good friend who lives on the coast of Oregon and we have done a lot of River fishing for King Salmon. Last year was my first time fishing in the Northern Pacific Ocean for Albacore Tuna and Salmon and it was a real treat.
    If Alaska is much better than Oregon, I am not sure my heart could stand it.
    That would be a much less costly trip than Alaska, and a lot closer.
