laskan Diary – Day 4 – The Tracy Arm Fjord

Alaska Fishing Articles, Regional Fishing, United States Fishing Articles |

Had a long and exciting day planned. We would take an all-day trip to the Tracy Arm Fjord aboard the 56-foot Adventure Bound. Captain Steve Weber departs at 8:15 am and returns at 6:00 pm. For about $100 bucks apiece you get your money’s worth.

The Adventure Bound takes you to scenery you could only dream about. Glaciers, waterfalls, mountains, icebergs, and wildlife make for a great day. The inside of the boat has a large comfortable galley with plenty of seating and warmth. The outside has an ample walk-around deck for unobstructed views and numerous photo opportunities. Don’t forget your camera.

It was a slow day for us as far as wildlife is concerned. We did see bald eagles, killer whales, humpback whales, and seals. Steve told me on most days he would sight some bears, mountain goats, and porpoise.

Steve also explained how his company also does fishing trips on some other boats that he owns. He said that these trips have one purpose-load up on fish. These multi-day trips usually do just that he told me. If you want to go on a hard-core fishing trip for salmon, halibut and lingcod contact Steve for more details.

Sad to say this is our last night in this great town. Tomorrow we go to Sitka.
