Title: Anchorage guide recommendations?
Post by: SD2OR on February 04, 2024, 07:15:04 PM: I'll be going to Alaska for the first time ever this may. Sadly, most of that time I'll be on a cruise ship. I will have the weekend of the 25th+26th to try and take a guided trip.

I assume halibut are year round, and that's probably what I'd most like to catch. Especially from kayak! Doing so out of a kayak would be killer! Of course salmon/steelhead/rainbows are always fun, but not sure if the timing is quite right.
Catching a big pike would also be great.

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone recommend a good guide in or near Anchorage?

Thanks in advance!

I don't know if it's the same on the KP, but for the area of AK I'm familiar with, Halibut fishing in the Kayak zone was way better in August than May.

Unfortunately, I don't have much wiggle room in our itinerary.
