It’s the time of year when the Alaska Department of Fish and Game renews their sport fishing regulations for the coming season, which means that we have more information to share with you to help plan your trip! This season’s halibut regulations allow each fisherman to retain a limit of two fish per day: one under 28” and one of any size. Regulations for other types of fish should not be changing, and can be viewed here (this is the 2022 regulation booklet, as the most recent update has not been officially published yet). Every year the ADFG also sets multiple closure dates on which fishermen ..read more

After a successful Fishing Charter – Smoked Salmon Dip A lot of people hoard their smoked salmon, it is precious stuff after all! But unless you’ve got a ton of it, it’s hard to justify putting out at a party or gathering. It gets gobbled up super fast (usually by the person serving it), and it’s often not everyone gets to try it.  There’s a trick however to spreading out the delicious smokey magic, a conservationists approach to serving smoked salmon, a real salmon saver: It’s Dip. A delicious smoked salmon dip is a great way to take a tiny piece of your precious salmon and share it wit ..read more

This has indeed been a hard 4 weeks for our business out at Lowell Point, support for our place from our loyal customers has and will be ..read more

      Organizing your Alaskan Fishing Gear – Episode 1: We get it. It’s a challenge every time! How do you keep all that gear organized? What do you do when a single jig can weigh 3lbs? The hook is the size of your palm, the plastic bait a foot long, and you’ve got a dozen of them made up for that super productive but ultra painful pinnacle the current just rips over? What about the Salmon Mooching Rigs you spent hours building last winter, or the circle hook leaders and big bait rigs? The struggle is real. For us and other operators out there,  there are literally hundre ..read more

The “Open Alaska Responsibly Plan” enters Phase 2! Yesterday the Governor of Alaska announced that we would be entering phase 2 of the “Open Alaska Responsibly Plan”. While all of this is unknown territory and these things change day to day, it is uplifting to see the state take tiny steps towards (dare we say it?) normalcy. As it happens, Alaska has had some of the most aggressive measures to limit exposure in place, and due to all that effort we made as a community the state health officials have deemed it reasonable to proceed carefully forward. These rules can be rolled back at any time a ..read more

What makes the Best of Alaska Tour the “Best of Alaska”? Our Best of Alaska trip takes you to the glaciers for an ice specific paddle, provides a meal, fishing for 4 hours for rock fish and salmon (in season), and sightseeing to the National Park, all in the same day, in a small group setting. It’s definitely the best deal around! It’s a bold statement. We get it. “Best of Alaska” is a big thing to claim. Why would we dare? Well… There are a lot of logistical issues when you plan your trip to Alaska – tons of pros and cons to each decision made. Seward is a really dynamic place with a LOT go ..read more

176lb halibut and Captain Chance on the bow of the Thomasea Winter is a time to reflect For me this means thinking about being on the water.  “The sun came up upon the left, Out of the sea came he! And he shone bright, and on the right Went down into the sea.” -The Rime of the Ancient Mariner The winter time: everyone ends up going a little crazy, usually just temporarily, sometimes permanently. It’s cold. People fight about weird stuff. It’s not unlike being on a boat for some amount of time: the longer people are out to sea, quirks emerge. They get too quiet or too loud, they get mo ..read more

       Jon Tippit always said the Seward Small Boat Harbor was the Heart of Seward. That you can tell when town is thriving, and even feel it’s energy by looking at the hustle and bustle of the tour boats, crews, and anglers. I like Jon, I worked for him one summer. I don’t think I did a very good job for him, but he put up with me long enough to make it through the season.  He and his Capt. Phil taught me a lot (and tolerated me to boot) and as a result, I’ve always recommended them when we were booked up – they’ve got a really great outfit called Alaskan Summert ..read more

While most of the anglers who visit Miller’s Landing are adults, you are welcome to bring your children along and introduce them to fishing during your stay. Fishing is a fantastic and healthy hobby that helps people connect with the natural world, and it gives you a great way to bond with your youngsters while enjoying some of the best scenery on earth. But you can’t just hand your child a rod, point them at the water and expect them to be successful. In fact, you’ll want to help introduce them to the sport so that they can catch a few fish and enjoy themselves – otherwise, they’re likely to ..read more
