How To Fish For Salmon In Valdez Alaska! Incredible Ocean Salmon Fishing And Sea Lion Action!

[@austinholm-mcrae2777]

I really appreciate how you don't just get a charter and film that. You take the time to fish the area from the shore, finding different spots. If you are heading for valdez this year we could show you some awesome spots. My fishing buddies and I are based out of Fairbanks/North Pole, and already have our dates for this year's trip

[@thefisherbrad]

Sounds good man I appreciate it! Not sure if I’ll go again this year or not but I will forsure send you a message if I do! Went the last two years so if I have some buddies wanting to go I’ll probably join em for a week!

[@austinholm-mcrae2777]

@@thefisherbrad email me- [e-mail] I'm not too keen to broadcast my favorite fishing dates and spots, but if you give me your email or lemme know how to pm you it'd be awesome to get in contact with you. I can then give you an idea. Im setting up a rod to target lingcod and halibut this year from a few spots as well

[@thefisherbrad]

Awesome! I got my dates picked out already I’m going to be there august 1st through the 7th! Send me a message on my Instagram at the_fisher_brad or on my fb at Brad Dyer

Hey! Just saw this post here and wanted to see if i could hit you up for some info as well. I am here in the Fairbanks area at Eielson and have a trip to Valdez planned in July!

[@austinholm-mcrae2777]

@@MrDavidaraujo123 Ya man, I'm more than willing to help where I can. Shoot me an email To be honest, that's awfully early for Coho, a little late for Chinook and sockeye. You can probably pull some nice, dime-bright pinks, and I could put you on some spots to get some shrimp that is easily withing paddling distance in a small boat. If you like hiking a bit, or have someone gusto for paddling/someone to drop you I a small boat, I can out you on a spot or two to go for a libgcod, Halibut, or both if you are lucky. You'll need a rod with at least 600 ft of line though, as there can be some deep holes, and you need extra if a Hali tries to take off on you. You could even do it in a canoe, if you are nice an competent in one, but I'd go around a crawdad size at least, in order to throw on 2-4 shrimp traps and make the paddling worthwhile, so you can drop a few pots on your way out, or just do a quick paddle out in the morning, and check then in the evening after fishing

There's still Salmon running in Oct???

[@austinholm-mcrae2777]

They are pretty late if you are looking for eaters, not to mention that they are nearing their spawn area so catch and release is preferable at that point, but yes. I have caught salmon staging at the river mouth, still in the ocean right before their run, as late as September 14th, but that's near the DEAD end for getting them from the ocean still nice and pretty

[@littlegoobie]

There's a 2nd smaller run in october at this location that runs up the Lowe river. A tiny stream goes through the property at my place and you can see coho in there sometimes right through the winter months ..dec.

[@cedricdepestel1640]

Make another pike video plsss

[@thefisherbrad]

I will eventually! I still got 2 more salmon videos to post and a grayling video!

[@scottcolquitt2073]

Heres an idea..have someone in waders to net the fish..vs banging these salmon all over the rocks.

[@thefisherbrad]

I was alone this day

[@littlegoobie]

waders also don't work at the spot you were in. Maybe down the way a bit farther, but not there. Where the rocks are, it drops off right at the rocks and only goes to more big slippery rocks that you can't stand on. If you're on the flat ground, the water's pretty low for fishing.
