If you’re traveling to Alaska and want the experience of a lifetime, contact Action Alaska Sportfishing. We offer a guided saltwater fishing tour with a personal touch in Sitka, Alaska. If you have never visited Sitka before, you’ve picked a great destination for Alaska salmon fishing. 

The waters are abundant with baitfish, which attract large schools of salmon during the summer months. You’ll see many species of salmon, including a couple of favorites, King and Silver salmon. 

We’ll share the best time to visit, what to expect during your outing, and why Sitka is a wonderful Alaskan destination. 

Best Months To Visit Sitka for Fishing

The best months to visit Sitka for Alaska salmon fishing is May – September. The fishing season typically starts around the middle of May, when fishers are rewarded with five species of salmon. During May and June, you will likely see the following in abundance:

• King salmon
• Halibut
• Rockfish
• Lingcod
• Black cod

Coming in June or July? Good decision. July is considered the best month for fishing in Sitka, Alaska because the waters are packed with hungry fish. If you ever want to catch all five species of salmon in one outing, July is your month for Alaska salmon fishing. 

Many people like visiting in August, because this is the month when silver salmon are frenzy fishing, so you’ll be able to catch more silver salmon and every catch is huge.

August and the beginning of September are still good months to set sail on our Alaska salmon fishing charter, but you may see fewer King salmon. Fortunately, there will be a plethora of Silver salmon available.

Although May – September are the best months, you’ll be spoiled year-round in Sitka. We target salmon and halibut on every full-day fishing trip. There are also many occasions when people catch incidental species, such as rockfish and lingcod. When conditions are right, we may even catch black cod, particularly in May.
