[@caskillet]

Looks like you guys had a great time. Sitka commercial troller here, glad to see our area's beauty and abundance represented so well. You planning on coming back up?

[@patrickwelch1010]

I've been there many times in my early Alaska trips . Great place , easy to get to . A little rough on occasion .

[@kauaicouple]

Those bright ocean salmon are amazing fish...

[@markmaccani9411]

Great video there. Sitka is a awesome area. Just got back from there a week ago myself. Looks like you guys had an awesome 3 day fishing trip there.

[@AndyEmerson8]

Used to live in Sitka. Went to Sitka High School. Dad was the DJ at the radio station there at Swan Lake.

[@adamyoung480]

Aloha. Been to Alaska seven times. Kodiak and Sitka are still on my list. Never seen a party boat up there.

[@adamyoung480]

Aloha. Sorry, thought it was a party boat from your description, more like a six pax.

[@swfloridareeladdiction8129]

Nice Vid Andy! You beat me there you dog! One of my buddy's went there last year and at my daughters wedding in January a bunch of the guys booked a trip for August, so we are bringing the gang up there. Any advice for when we are there?

[@AndyEmerson8]

Yo! Love your videos man! Great seeing that Pulley Ridge action from naples/ft myers area! You guys get on some fish. In the description in this video I detailed this hike that we did that was about 7 miles. Not sure if that’s your cup of tea but man it was pretty! If no hike then at least check out the bears at the Fortress of the Bear! Looking forward to your video when you get there! Message me on IG and I can get you more details if you want. Andyemerson8

[@SkitterstheMarmot]

Were you fishing in Salisbury sound north of Sitka? We fish Sitka every year, looked like that area. Nice kings and bottom fish you caught! Great video, I'm ready to go up a 2nd time this year 😂

[@bloodboneoutdooradventures724]

I've caught hundreds of halibut trolling for salmon right around that spot.

[@michaeljunk2021]

How many pounds of fish did you bring back?

[@AndyEmerson8]

@@michaeljunk2021 50!

[@YuGo122]

Thanks much for the excellent video, Andy! Out of curiosity: What’s behind your right ear? Is that a sea sickness patch?

[@AndyEmerson8]

Yes! After the captain warned us of forecasted choppy weather he recommended using the patch. Someone in our group had an extra one so I tried it. I don’t know if I would have needed it but I didn’t get sick so it was potentially helpful!

[@YuGo122]

@@AndyEmerson8 Thank you for the quick reply. I am wondering whether these things really help with sea sickness. I have always wanted to fish on a charter boat, but worried that instead of fishing I would be spending my time doubled over near the board.

[@AndyEmerson8]

@@YuGo122 a very valid concern! I’ve had sea sickness hit me very randomly. I make sure to eat clean the night before, get good rest and I’m usually good to go. But still once in a blue moon I get sick! And it ruins the fun. So if you are worried at all go ahead and try the patch. It’s less drowsy than taking Dramamine. Unless you take a half of a Dramamine the night before that is another good method.

[@YuGo122]

@@AndyEmerson8 Any particular brand of patch?

[@joedennehy386]

That weather at 5.00 looks snotty

Keep your rod tip up, and get the butt of your rod out of your armpit, we’re not in San Diego, and Alex sucks at netting, come troll with the pros 🤙

[@Blktailhunter53]

Be sure you know the regulations before booking a charter. They are different for paying customers vs non-paying anglers. All those big limits, giant lings and halibut were caught and kept by non paying anglers. The charters don’t tell you that when you book that those big fish were caught by non paying anglers/residents, not paying customers. Customer beware. Speaking from first hand experience.

[@AndyEmerson8]

Kind of a confusing comment. We were paying customers and this video shows the fish we caught. Even the Large halibut was caught by a paying customer in our group on the boat next to us so I still am unsure what you are talking about.

[@jamesaragon1825]

I would love to subscribe, but your video has very poor film quality and you don't show the fish very much and you don't do the biggest thing to get views and subscribers and that is catch clean and cook videos? Naby later when you make the changes! 😮😢

[@marksalsbery9826]

Interesting opinion! For some of us it’s just a freezer stuffer trip for the best eating fish. But shot in a gorgeous location. Video looks pretty nice to me…the Pacific Northwest just looks that way lol Cheers

Get a life bro you don't even make content so just keep your mouth shut🤡

[@darwinbarrie751]

I agree the music is just irritating.

Appreciate you letting me know. Hope you enjoyed it otherwise!
