About

Valdez and Prince William Sound boast one of the strongest Silver Salmon runs in the state. Saltwater charters for Silvers consistently produce limits of dime bright ocean-fresh fish that are hard to beat by any standards. This is a great family-friendly trip in the amazing setting of the rugged glacier-capped Chugach Mountains.

You may have heard the Alaskan expression “There are so many salmon you could walk across the water on their backs and not get wet” This explains the pink and silver runs of Valdez very well. You can expect non-stop action on our salmon charters. For silvers and pinks we offer 3/4 day trips, because that is all you will need to get tired reeling these fish in.

Silvers generally weight in at 10 pounds, but the derby winners are up in the 18-20 pound range. These fish are known for their fighting ability and acrobatics as you work them to the boat. Silver fishing is done by trolling Port Valdez.
