Alaskan Game Fisher |
The Alaskan Game Fisher is a small
family run charter business providing salmon & halibut fishing in Cook Inlet,
& freshwater salmon fishing on the world famous Kenai River. We specialize in
custom made trips for small groups of 4-6 people for multi-day packages, where a
one on one personal relationship with our clients is offered.
We have one of the largest and most comfortable vessels in the marine fishery off
of Deep Creek. Unlike Homer, where your travel time by boat is 2-3 hours, our travel
time is only 30-60 minutes. With Alaskan Game Fisher you will always
fish with a local & experienced skipper. You will also always get your own fish
back.
We are also one of the only charter outfits that offer Penn International 2 speed
reels, along with fighting belts to help land the hard fighting Halibut that
can exceed 400 lbs. With this high quality equipment, along with our experienced
crew, even the beginner and smallest of fishermen can enjoy the thrill & excitement
that Alaska fishing has to offer!
New for 1998, we are adding a flexibility package that will give our clients
the opportunity to make daily changes to their schedule as fishing conditions change
daily. This package is based on the whole boat for a fun day for your group only.
We highly recommend this approach as it gives you many advantages.
OUR VESSELS
Our salt water boat is a 1996, 30'x10' cabin cruiser, the largest in the
Deep Creek fishery. It has 88 square feet of 
deck space where
6 people can fish comfortably. The cabin has two bench seats, two air ride chairs
and a porta potty for your convenience. The vessel is equipped with a full array
of electronics to find and take you to the fish. Twin 150 hp outboards get you to
the fishing grounds at a speed of 30-45 mph.
Our 20' flat bottomed river sled is powered by a quiet 4 stroke outboard and has
5 padded seats, rod holders, and large fish box specifically designed for salmon
fishing on the Kenai River.
ACCOMMODATIONS
We offer 1st class lodging on all our packages. In Soldotna we have a 2 bedroom 4 plex that is fully furnished with kitchen, utensils, washer & dryer, refrigerator, 3-4 beds, and a sofa. In Ninilchik we house our guests at the Creekside Inn, with motel style rooms, hot tub, breakfast, and sack lunch included.
FISHING EQUIPMENT
At Alaska Game Fisher we provide only the best! For halibut we have custom made 5 1/2 foot stand up rods with Penn. International 2 speed reels. These reels make it easy for anyone to bring up a hefty halibut. We provide rods belts and an experienced deckhand to assist you. For salmon we provide Shimano baitcaster reels with 8 1/2 foot rods custom built for the mighty Kenai Kings.

salmon and 95% for halibut.
HUGE PACIFIC HALIBUT

biting as soon as your bait hits the bottom! We fish in water 125 to 300
feet deep with the average size being 15-50 lbs. and 100 to 400 lbs. fish are landed
regularly. You can fill your freezer with this tasty fish in no time at all. Two

world.
The early run has a return of 20,000 to 30,000 fish that average 30-45 lbs. with
50-60 pounders common. The early run offers more consistent day to day fishing due
to lower, clearer and less crowded water conditions. Trip length is 6 or 9 hours
with a success rate of 50-70%. River is closed on Mondays.
Late Run, Month of July
The late run has a return of 30,000 to 70,000 fish with an average size of 45-55
lbs. with 60-70 pound fish caught regularly. Success rates are 50%, but when you
hook into a Kenai King, it will likely be the largest, hardest fighting salmon you'll
ever catch. Trip length is 6 or 9 hours. River is closed on Sundays and Mondays.

Silver salmon enter the river in late July thru September and has a return of several
