Salmon and Halibut Fishing Charters in Whittier Alaska
Sound Fun Charters donated a charter to the statewide NBC affiliated TV station KTUU to promote Whittier. The first 2 minutes are kyaking and the remaining 5 minutes are fishing and catching salmon, rockfish, and halibut. The largest of the halibut, at 97 pounds, had to be harpooned then shot before it could be brought on board. Sound Fun Charters offer action packed fishing charters, private sightseeing tours, and remote drop-off/pickup within the protected waters of Prince William Sound. Whittier is the closest salt-water fishery to Anchorage. Whittier is serviced by cruise ships, the Alaska Railroad, and automobile (just a one-hour drive from Anchorage). Alaska Fishing videos.

The Fishing Grounds Depending on the season and the trip/species you select, our travel to the best fishing grounds will be between 1/2 and 2-1/2 hours traveling through some of the most spectacular scenery on earth. Whales, puffins, sea lions, otter, glaciers, and untouched wilderness abound. If you are fishing for meat or out for the chance to catch a trophy fish, Whittier is the right destination. A camera and pair of binoculars are are essential.
The Fishing
While traveling, don’t be afraid to ask your captain questions like ’where are we?’ or ’what is that?’ We frequent Knight, Chenega, Bainbridge, Evans, Elrington, Latouche, Montague, Green, and Naked Islands, always staying in sight of land and the protected waters of Prince William Sound. You will typically see an Alaska ferry, cruise ships, commercial fishing vessels, and on occasion, an oil tanker headed in/out of the Port of Valdez. <br>
We’re out there, but we just don’t get into the huge ocean swells that are common out of the other southcentral ports. To give you an idea of the size of the Sound, it’s 110 statute miles from Whittier to Cordova. Then 84 miles from Cordova to Valdez. From Valdez back to Whittier it’s another 89 miles.
