Fishing Alaska

I just found this group and I am looking on any suggestions on a fishing
trip to Alaska. I have gone to the last two sports shows in Sacramento and
talked to a quiet a few outfitters. So this year I want to book a trip for
me and my son (he's 12) this would be a fishing adventure of a life time.
These are to places that have caught my eye

So any advice, places to check out or what not to do would be appreciated.
Hear are some thing I set on at least on fly in one Halibut trip the other
thing would be staying in a lodge. I have also noticed there is a wide price
range I do realize it's not cheap. Anyway Thanks in advance Dave

There are literally thousands of fishing guides / lodges in Alaska ,
everything from interior to coastal and every thing in between . I've
lived and Fished Alaska for 30 + years. My advice is , decide what time of
year , what target species of fish and what part of the state you want to
fish , then start checking the Chamber of commerce web sites for that
region/city or town your interested in , Look at the Phone books online ,
Start making inquiries . Prices rang from a kings ransom to dirt cheep.
every thing from a guided trip to a drop off via boat or plane can be had.
You can live fancy at a 4 star hotel/lodge or tent it on the side of a
river bank , your choice.

Or you can Road fish via hi-way accessible streams from a rental car and
charter out of several coastal communities for the day for a few hundred
bucks . If you are a GI or retired Military , the Army/Air force maintains
several resorts that cater to active/retired military , chartering boats
out of Seward AK for free. And other places.

Have fun , come spend all your money and then go home , Just kidding
