We are all happy to be back on the water and enjoying the beautiful Alaskan summer. The joke is the minute the river opens summer ends and it starts raining, but not this year!

The Sockeye Salmon are starting to come in, not in high numbers quite yet, but there are out there and we’ve been catching.  It also means that there are just that many more that will be showing up here in the next few weeks.

Thanks to Capt. Tom with Halibut Hunter Charters for the much needed break to catch some nice Halibut and cod.  The Homer weather was a bit windy but we each managed to catch a dozen or more halibut before it was time to head for home.  A new rule for charter boats only this year requires retention of a 29 inch or smaller halibut if you are going to keep two fish.  This absurd rule makes for a long day of fishing, throwing back fish after fish to find one small enough to keep.  Great day of fishing with my two new friends the "Bruces" from Utah!

The Funny River Wildfire has grown past 67,000 acres and is only 5% contained.  All of us here on the Kenai Peninsula are very grateful to all the firefighters who have been pouring into town to try and hold the line before the fire closes in on any homes.  The winds have died down some tonight, and water bombing planes along with "Duck" Scooping planes are using water out of Skilak and Tustumena Lakes to drop on the fire. Across Cook Inlet the Tyonek wildfire has grown to 1820 acres.  Tyonek is the village next to where I have done bear guiding with wounded veterans for years. I am hopeful that the firefighters get that blaze under control before the village is threatened.  On a positive note, it is amazing to watch the community come together rally around those in need.  For instance, today while I was at the DNR Forestry office in Soldotna, Kathy from Jersey Subs was in there dropping off menus and letting the staff know that they would stay open as long as they were needed.  Alaskans are a unique breed of people, looking out for our neighbors is just in our blood.  Stay classy Kenai.

Alaska Fishing The 2014 Alaska fishing season is going to be fantastic. Sure it may sound like an old fish story. But actually it’s shaping up to be a stunning season. More people from all over are calling and emailing us here at the Fish Magnet team. So what’s the reason?

There is no other place you will discover here on the Kenai River. We have amazing wildlife from bear and deer to big, fat 30 lb. king salmon just waiting to hook your line.

Alaska Fishing on the Kenai Here on the Kenai River we’re home to an Alaska fishing world record king salmon catch of 97.4 lbs. I know, that’s plenty of great eating. Depending on the time of year, we see them rank from 40 to 70 lbs. What does it take to haul these Alaska fishing monsters into the boat? Well, for starters, patience. Then access some of the most secret Alaska fishing holes we’ve been visiting for decades.

Depending on the time of year, we also see red and silver salmon. Sure there’s also a ton of trophy-sized trout. Many of our clients tell us they experience a dream fishing experience of a lifetime when they take time to pay us a visit.

So what makes a great Alaska fishing trip? We’ve been guiding these waters for decades and here’s some of our best suggestions…

• Planning. As in thinking about your trip in terms of what you want to catch. Then contact a guiding service that specializes in customized trips based on the time of year.
• Warm clothes. The weather changes up here fast so it’s best to bring along a few warm jackets even in the summer.
• Waterproof bag. So many Alaska fishing folks have found out pretty quickly iPhones and smart ones alike tend to get dunked into the water without warning. We recommend you bring along a camera with a dry bag designated for it.

Alaska Fishing & What We Catch When we’re in freshwater, we come across king, red, pink and silver salmon as well as rainbow trout. Sometimes we’ll see a bunch of dolly varden as well. In salt walter we hook plenty of halibut, ling cod, sea bass a bunch of yellow eye and of course our favorites which are king and silver salmon.

Many of our clients love to go after king salmon. It’s always what they love to think about when they’re reading for some amazing Alaska fishing.

But remember, it really depends on the time of year you’re visiting us. Alaska fishing is best when you plan your trip around a specific fish run. They can be fickle so we encourage you to call us to get our fishing report. We monitor our waters daily and love to give you a lot of great advice when you’re planning your Alaska fishing trip.

Once you experience true Alaska fishing, you’ll be amazed how big the fish are here at Fish Magnet. We love helping people have a wonderful fishing trip along with some of the best Alaska fishing around.

Alaska Fishing Trends Sometimes you’ll find guides mention how the fishing changes depending on the weather. So we have an entire network of secret fishing holes that help us roll with trending runs. One of the reasons we help so many clients catch the big ones is we have decades of expertise guiding Alaska fishing trips.

We guide Alaska fishing folks of all ages and we know we’ll help you hook your next big fish. The King Salmon are some of the biggest in the world. Think Alaska fishing and then get in touch with us.
