First Time Fishing?

Fishing in Petersburg, Alaska, is a huge pull for many visitors. Because we are a fishing lodge, we are an ideal place for you to drop your first fishing line in Alaska. Here are some things to know about fishing with us for the first time.

  • Island Point Lodge is located in the Inside Passage, a stretch of ocean water through which many fish pass.
  • King Salmon fishing is a big deal and a favorite of guests. They are typically large, put up a fun fight, and they taste delicious. These fish average 20-35 pounds, although a 40-pound king is not unusual.
  • Alaska Silver Salmon is another popular type of fish along the Inside Passage. Our guests like to look for Silver Salmon around the port of Petersburg.
  • Some more popular fish near Petersburg are Alaska Sockeye Salmon, Dungeness Crab, and Alaska Halibut. Both offer different thrills and unique challenges.

First Time Hunting?

Alaska Black Bear hunting is another draw to the area. We offer self-guided black bear hunts, too. The beach shores have new seaweed and clams, which bears will eat to gain strength for salmon runs later.

While waiting for bears, you can fish for halibut or drift along the shoreline, taking some incredible photos. Many people like to hunt early in the week, get their bear, and spend the week fishing. Call us at 508-450-2820 for information about our combination fish and black bear hunting trips.
