About

Tanner (Snow) Crab/King Salmon Combo - you will meet in the morning at the boat. The Captain will ensure you have your fishing license, King salmon stamp, as well as a crab permit. There is a short safety briefing and all licenses are checked and logged. Then you set out on Kachemak Bay, stopping to bait and splash the crab pots. Alaska Department of Fish and Game regulations require you to participate in this process. Next, head off to the salmon grounds to troll for King salmon. The Kings typically range between 8 and 25 pounds, sometimes even bigger. These are referred to as either Feeder Kings or Winter Kings because of their age (2 to 4 years old). Currently the limit is two per person, per day until April 1, 2020.

After trolling, enjoy the scenery as you return to the crab pots on your way back to the harbor. A four to six-hour soak is optimal for crab. With the use of a pot-puller, the pots are pulled from the depths to see what you have legally harvested. With any luck, your pot will be full. Then, return to port where you can have your photo taken and your catch cleaned! The Captain can arrange for further processing, packaging, and shipping after your return.
