Testimonials

I can’t express enough how fantastic my trip was. Our team that took care of us was fantastic. Captain Tyler, Gunner, and Keisa were super nice young individuals. Professional, respectful, friendly, and great fun. The accommodations were fantastic and the facilities were truly impressive. Trip of a lifetime.

CNB Party, September 2023

September trip was GREAT. Weather was really nice the 1st 2 days of fishing, 3rd day was a little sour. But, that had NO bearing on Capt Sarah putting us on fish, and I mean fast. I think the 1st day we were limited out on everything but ling cod by noon. We went into a cove and had lunch and socialized, it was great. 2nd day limits again with 2 ling cod, and 3rd day also limits again EARLY and back to the cove to have lunch.
Captain Sarah is always great to fish with, very focused on the plan for the day. I will fish with Captain Sarah anytime, top compliments to her. Now, last but NOT least was our deckhand Evan. Topnotch, Johnny on the spot! 1st time fishing with him, he is great. I could see him becoming a Captain, told Jen and Chuck the same thing, the young man is good.

Hauser Party, September 2023

I had a great time on the trip. Captain Lev and deckhand Cody were amazing! Thank you to them for everything they did to make it a great experience.

Swets Party, September 2023

I had a great time with Captain Lev and Cody. They were super good at their jobs. We had limits on our fish on all 3 days so it couldn’t have been better. Those guys really worked hard to make our trip a success.
That was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We enjoyed it immensely. Thanks very much for this great experience.

Swets Party, September 2023

Our trip to Sitka was outstanding! The weather was brutal…winds with gusts up to 30 mph, swells of 8 to 10 feet, and rain. But we all persevered and caught limits on the first two days and close to limits on the third day. Fishing with Captain Tom was special. Every captain I’ve fished with has been great, but Tom is yet another step above greatness! I consider ourselves very lucky to have been on perhaps his last boat. And Brian (AKA Cobra) was a terrific deckhand. He was not feeling well on the third day, but it didn’t affect his performance one little bit.
Also, the onshore staff was great!  The day we got in, there were people leaving while we were getting our rain gear, etc. at the lodge.  The entire staff was busy taking care of us and everybody else…”a well-oiled machine”!  And they were always punctual in picking us up, and terrific with helping us leave at the airport.

Gary Party, September 2023

We want to thank all the staff at AU for an epic trip! Robert had a better time than he thought he could. We love Captain James, and we were able to see (Cobra) Bryan again as he was helping out on deck the first day. Then we got to meet Tom, James’ coach, he was great. The fishing was hot and on the fourth day, we just took it easy in Hoonah Sound.

Thanks again for everything. We ❤️ Angling Unlimited

Barlow Party, September 2023

The trip exceeded my expectations and feel very blessed to have been invited. Not only was the fishing world-class, but the scenery was second to none. Captain Tyler was a joy to be around and a great captain. At one point we only had 6 fish in the box so he rallied and worked his butt off to try to make a limit happen for us in windy conditions. He makes one of the best sandwiches in the business as well.

Gunner, his first mate, did an excellent job with an amazing attitude. He is small in stature and big on heart and work ethic and does great things to make every trip special. All the staff we came in contact with was pleasant hard working and did everything possible to make that trip one you will never forget.

The people who handled the logistics of travel and fish processing had to be some of the best in the business as everything was flawless. I hope to get back to that magical place again. We had a great meal and fun conversation with the owners Chuck and Jennifer one night and everyone had such a great time with laughs and memories that will never be forgotten. Thanks to all the gracious people that made our trip amazing and we will all look back on it with fond memories.

Our hostess Kaisa was amazing as well.  Great smile, easy going, confident and so fun to be around.  All in all a gem.

CNB Party, September 2023

Absolutely outstanding! We really need to thank E and the fish processors/packers for using the Reflectix bag material to line my two boxes for the two day trip back from Sitka to Bloomington Indiana. All the fish were still fully frozen or at worse 98% and still chilled when I got them transferred into the freezer. This kind of detail in the logistics part of getting your customers home with fish is certainly noteworthy as was E and the crew’s effort to get our fish tagged and checked in at Sitka. A huge part to complete the experience in a positive way.

Furthermore, Capt Lev and Cody were simply awesome and great guys to be out on the water with. I would welcome fishing with them anytime in the future and Annika was outstanding as well!!!

Lastly, Many thanks to your outfit for helping me check a bucket list item off for fishing in Alaska and in a big way. I could not be more pleased with the whole experience. THANK YOU!

Gorski Party, September 2023

Good times were had by all of us. The Angling Unlimited staff was impeccable and very professional. Lev and Cody did a great job on the water and Annika was our bacon fairy on the land.

Gorski Party, September 2023

We had a BLAST!  Captain Sarah was awesome!

Murray Party, September 2023

We absolutely loved the trip and had a great time. You guys have a top-notch operation and we’ve already recommended Angling Unlimited to several friends/family.

Varilek Party, August/September 2023

We had a fantastic time with Jack and Connor. And were well taken care of by our hostesses. AU is a First Class Operation. Thank you.

Kroke Party, August 2023

I can tell you that if I had to pick my next Captain and deckhand today, it would be Captain Tyler and Gunner. The fishing was great and we were well taken care of. Beyond that, they were fun to be around, and just real gentlemen!

Stapleton Party, August 2023

All 4 of us on Captain Tyler’s boat had a fantastic time! Limiting out all 3-days. Captain Tyler and deck hand Gunner were outstanding and fun to be around. Captain Tyler did a great job of getting us on fish for great results.

Stapleton Party, August 2023

We had a great time, per usual. I honestly can’t think of anything that could have been better on the boat. As far as I could tell, we caught as well as any of the boats out there and had a great time with Spencer and Hunter. Probably the best deckhand I’ve had up there as well, by the way.

Braun Party, August 2023

Our trip overall was fun despite the fishing and weather not always being cooperative. Captain Spencer provided as good of an experience as we could have hoped for under the circumstances. Also, Connor the Deck hand in my opinion was one of the best ones we have ever had.

Addink Party, August 2023

We had a wonderful time, was fun to fish and chat with Tom the first day and Jack was a great captain for us all three days. Katie was a great hostess, always there! Condo was very comfortable!

K.Peterson Party, August 2023

As always, the captains, deckhands, hostesses, office staff and everything else was great! The customer service was supreme, as usual, and everyone commented on it. We also caught a ton of fish, even with a very bad weather day. The Friday social hour was a hit with the new guys.

Castillo Party, August 2023

I had an incredible time for my first trip to Alaska. Good fellowship, good fishing, and good weather with some up my trip. From what my buddies tell me, the water was incredibly unusual—-but I will take it! Our boat, captain Spencer Chute and his deckhand Hayden did an incredible job, helping us find fish and a few extra views to boot.

We saw a brown bear swimming in the water after he had killed a sea lion. We saw several humpback whales that hung out with us. We even hooked into a few blue sharks that we, of course let go. our host, Molly took care of the things that we needed including food when it ran out. All of your workers were very upbeat and positive people. I also enjoyed the joint dinner the crew hosted for us with the other guests. It was fun to hang out with Spencer and Hayden in a non-fishing situation.

Souza Party, August 2023

Spencer and Haden were outstanding. So patient with us. We don’t move as fast as we used to but still have a blast. The fishing was great, too! Also, the rest of the staff was great. Always helpful and smiling, even at 4 am.

Keagle Party, August 2023

We had a great time with Capt. Tom and Deckhand Wes. As expected, Tom runs a tight ship. Both he and Wes not only kept a careful eye on us so that they were there to help us with fresh bait, tangle lines, or unnoticed bites. They both worked really hard to maximize our catch and as my wife said, Wes really makes a great sandwich. Kassie did a great job keeping our unit tidy and well-stocked. We really enjoyed the tent night. The food was really good and it was nice to get a relaxed time to talk with the AU crew. I enjoyed catching up with Tyler, our Captain from last year.

Newton Party, August 2023

All 4 captains passed with flying colors. Everyone in our group enjoyed the experience and service provided for them to catch fish. All the deckhands seemed to be well on top of things and “Johnny-on-the-spot” in baiting and netting the fish caught.

Avila Party, August 2023

We had a great time fishing with Chuck/Jack and Connor. Tons of fish, beautiful weather, and calm seas… hard to beat!

Orton Party, August 2023

I had a great trip and particularly I enjoyed the comfortable house that you found for us. Our needs were more than perfectly met. Angling Unlimited does a great job, and always make me feel like a special customer.

Beyond that, as usual, DJ and Luke were great. Fun to hang out with and ultra-competent at their jobs. DJ is so great about moving around to find fish and staying on them to maximize fish-on time. And both seem to have a half dozen eyes, and typically take care of my needs before I know I have a need. Great job!

The Pavillion party keeps getting better. And the hostesses seem to be getting more helpful and nicer every year.

Delarm Party, July/August 2023

We thoroughly enjoyed fishing with Captain Ryan! And everything else was really well organized too.

Stevens Party, July/August 2023

Another year under the belt. One thing for certain, the quality of service remains at five stars. Once again, we were met at the airport by a group of wonderful hostesses. Once at the lodge, Kassie escorted us to our usual scenic room. Kassie was a ray of sunshine and a joy to have for our hostess.

Day one began with meeting up with Skipper Spencer and his new deckhand Hayden. We headed North to the fishing grounds. The weather was absolutely gorgeous, with 2ft waves and 5 mph winds. We fished hard all day and managed to land about 23 Silvers, 1 King, 4 Halibut, 1 Ling Cod, and various cod.

Day 2 appeared to be the same weather, great. The bite was slow, so we decided to venture south stopping at different known fish locations. At one stop we were surrounded by Hump Back Whales. They came as close as 40 ft away. Then a small pod of Orcas. Although we weren’t doing so great with the fishing, nature was surely entertaining us. We ended up going all the way around the island, picking a fish here and there.

On the third day, we headed right back to the north end. The weather was perfect again. Things started slow, really slow. Then the tide turned and the Silvers turned on. We had multiple hookups. We released several Kings. We limited on Halibut as fast as we could go to the bottom. It was a great day. All through the three days, Spencer was the Captain, he has always been, great. Hayden, also was there every time we tangled, needed bait, or needed direction on landing the “Big One”.

The Captain and crew were outstanding. As always, the friendliness of everyone is overwhelming.

Feinmark Party, July/August 2023

The trip was excellent and Tyler did an excellent job searching for the right spot to fish. Adam, the deckhand, was a delight and kept us fishing all the time managing bait, landing fish, etc.

I enjoyed all three of the fishing mates that you paired me with – it really helped that they were experienced fishing out of Sitka with AU. Brought home 60-70 pounds!

All staff at the lodge were very happy to be of assistance – great crew!

Hultenberg Party, July/August 2023

Captain Tyler and deckhand Adam were fantastic! They were sharp, on top of their game and gave us the best experience I’ve had since going with Angling Unlimited. The other trips were good too, but this was the best for me.

They have a good sense of humor, and it was really cool when they set up a rig to catch a shark and – they caught one! Never seen that before. It makes the whole experience special. Cap Tyler and Adam hit the ball out of the park!😃

Gorecki/Roberts Party, July 2023

FYI we had a great trip. Limits every day and weather you couldn’t beat. We have been coming up for years and have always had a great time. This last outing with weather and fish combined as well as the company was five-star.

Kennedy/Schepper Party, July 2023

We wanted to take a second to thank the Angling Unlimited team for another GREAT 4 days, it was just great. From the pick up at airport, to going to the lodge to register, to the house and yes, fishing with DJ, Luc, Jack, and Griffin. What a honor and fun! They worked their tail off to make sure we caught fish. Thank you again!

Gorstayn Party, July 2023

We had a wonderful time. Probably the best fishing I’ve had in my 5 visits with AU over the years. Jack and Griff were super on the boat, very helpful, encouraging, and great netters!

Williams Party, July 2023

We had a terrific time fishing with Angling Unlimited. This was my second trip to Sitka. Captain Sarah was great and I would love to be able to fish on her boat again. The service provided by Angling Unlimited is second to none. The entire operation is 1st rate. The accommodation right on the water’s edge was also fantastic. I can’t wait to have the chance to do it all over again.

Carnes Party, June 2023

Great weather, flat seas, and fabulous fishing…one of the best trips over the last 20 years. Captain Jack and Grif nailed it! Just need to figure out how not to catch so many chinook salmon. Looking forward to next year already!

Biggers Party, July 2023

Our stay always goes so fast. The staff on hand is always positive and fun to be around; they take very good care of us. Upon our arrival at the Aspen Suites one of our suitcases went to the wrong party and they were on it and it was corrected quickly. I think they were more concerned than we were as we knew it would be fixed.

Everyone seems so happy to be in Sitka (which I so understand) and to be on staff with Angling Unlimited and I find that a huge positive. From the time we land and get our bags to the time we have to depart, everyone makes sure everything goes well and they do it with a smile on their face! So a big thank you to Captain Jack, Wes, Bella, Kassie and Tess and everyone who shows up to make our trip so memorable.

Jensen Party, June 2023

I feel safe to say that our consensus was we all thought Lev and Logan worked very hard for us to have a good experience, plus they were enjoyable. We would all welcome the opportunity to fish with them again, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone that I know.

I fished with Captain Tom in 2014 and 2015, so I had some experience with AU. I thoroughly enjoyed those two past trips. This trip was just as memorable and enjoyable and clearly met my expectations. Overall, a very memorable and enjoyable trip. It made me wonder why I let those years from 2015 until now pass by without another trip with all of you.

Pederson Party, July 2023

Our trip with Angling Unlimited was all that we hoped for, and probably more. Captain Tyler and Griff were great to spend time with and they took care of every detail. We especially enjoyed the group dinner and spending time with others.

Mims Party, July 2023

We had a great time with Chuck and Adam. Their personalities are so engaging, they made every day fun! They were cheerleaders, without the pompoms!

Molly, our hostess, was fabulous! What a gem! We thoroughly enjoyed Jess and Tom whom we were paired with as well. We would go fishing with those two any day. It was a fabulous experience for us. We will certainly be in touch with you for our next Alaskan fishing adventure!

Thank you to your entire staff for making our time in Sitka memorable. A special shout-out to Chuck and Adam!!

Bobb Party, July 2023

My first ever Chinook, and what a beauty. I’ve fished many times but not for kings. Really a first-class fishing trip. Capt James and Hayden were helpful, kind, and cheery. They took care of the fish perfectly.

Waldo Party, July 2023

We had a GREAT time. The weather was amazing, not 1 rain drop which is almost unbelievable!! Saturday was a T-shirt day, sunny and gorgeous. We were a little worried that the silvers were going to be an issue, only landed 3 on day 1 but they showed up and we limited on then days 2 and 3. Got all our Kings too 😉

DeHaas Party, July 2023

I had an extraordinary time in Sitka with Angling Unlimited. There is not one thing I would change from the trip. Staff, lodging, hospitality, fishing, scenery, everything was simply perfect! I am a lifelong fisherman from MN and have fished all over MN, Manitoba, Ontario, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, the Great Lakes of Lake Michigan and Lake Huron, California, Wyoming, and Alaska. Without hesitation, my time with Angling Unlimited was the best fishing trip I’ve ever been on.

Richards Party, July 2023

Loved, loved loved our trip and Captain Jack McNamee is a genuine ROCK STAR and makes great sandwiches. My genuine thanks to the entire Angling Unlimited team……!!!!

Cannon Party, July 2023

Captain Sarah was great as were Wes and Grace. We had a great time. Loved the place we stayed. Would definitely stay there again. Thanks for all you do. AU is a classy operation from top to bottom.

Heilman Party, July 2023

We had a great trip! Lev and Logan were fantastic!

McConnell Party, July 2023

Our trip was wonderful! As always, the AU staff and amenities were first-class.

Evans Party, July 2023

It was a great time, especially for a couple of guys who hadn’t done this before. Captain Tyler and deckhand Adam were awesome.

Michels Party, July 2023

The trip was great as usual and everyone from my group loved the trip. It is a great experience and have enjoyed every time I fish with the AU group.

Evans Party, July 2023

Salmon fishing in Sitka Alaska? AWESOME!

Play Video

Gearhart Party, June 2023

We had a great time and limited out on fishing! Thank you to the guides for getting us on fish. We had a great reception from the staff and felt well taken care of during our trip.

Meredith Party, June 2023

We had a great trip! All three groups enjoyed the level of service that our Captains and deckhands provided. It was my first time fishing with Spencer…great guy! The weather (wind) made things a little tougher….as the ocean was up, and never really laid down, but we fished through it!

Erwin Party, July 2023

I would like to give a huge shout out to everyone on your team in Sitka I was fortunate to fish on both boats because my uncle wanted a day with his brother and me with my cousins. The staff at the lodge made it a sheer pleasure to take care of us as well. I have been told about this trip since Manny has been coming here. Thanks again to all involved and I most definitely will be back. Please give the Sitka team and all involved a Big Thank You!!!

Avila Party, July 2023

Fantastic trip, Spencer and Hayden are awesome!!!! We had unbelievable weather and fishing, with limits in almost every category. AU is such a fine-oiled experience, nobody in my opinion comes close in comparison.

Merisko Party, June 2023

We had a fantastic vacation. AU really knows how to treat its customers well. It was such an easy trip with transportation, breakfast, groceries and lunch, fish processing and delivery and a car-the perfect set up. We had a great time. Griffin and Sarah were excellent and so patient and put us on fish for 3 straight days!

W. Johnson Party, June 2023

Everything on our trip to AU was spot on as always. Jack treats us like he’s known us forever and as friends. His knowledge of his boat and the fishery is top notch. Griffin did a fantastic job working the boat as Jack was captaining. The girls working behind the scenes making beds, cleaning rooms, planning lunches, etc. also were also always second to none. I will continue to recommend AU to anyone who asks about my trip and look forward to returning in the future.

Nordquist Party, June 2023

We had a great time at Angling Unlimited. The fishing was great. Conditions for days 1 and 2 were good and Spencer put us on the fish quickly. Day 3, last Friday, was a rough day and Spencer warned us we were going to have to work for our fish. He was right but after persevering we limited out on king salmon, halibut and rock fish.

The fishing experience was great as we hoped/expected it would be but I was even more impressed with the people. Spencer is a true pro and and a gentleman. He was great with the four of us. He was patient, naturally curious, engaging and treated us with respect that can’t be faked. We also had a great time with his deck hand, Hayden, who was super helpful and attentive to our needs. He brought a lot of value on his own and he and Spencer make a great team. Back at the lodge, the team there was great. They went over and above to make us feel at home. This went beyond our hostess and extended to all staff we interacted with.

Special thanks to Tess, our hostess, and Bella who are both great. Others who made an impression were Addie, Molly and Cassie.

Nichols/Cosnotti Party, June 2023

Our trip in Sitka was beyond amazing! Captain James and Deckhand Hayden were hands down the best. Ironically, Andrew and I were paired with a group from Kansas City who have been fishing with Angling for many years. It was a perfect match of people with a perfect Captain and Deckhand to guide us newbies.

James was amazing at getting us out to the perfect spots to catch all our daily limits. And for me being the only female on the boat he was so great at calming my nerves during some semi-rough water and making sure I felt safe! We really enjoyed having him guide the way. I was so impressed with Hayden’s fish filleting skills and couldn’t believe how easy he made it look while the boat was moving.

We thank everyone for all their work behind the scenes to make everything happen and get us all set up. We also appreciate the hospitality from Kassie and all the hostesses and how inviting everyone was. Hands down the best experience I’ve ever had!

Thurston Party, June 2023

The trip was great, limited each morning on kings, halibut, and rockfish. Ryan is likely the best captain of the three we’ve had. Companions were pleasant and the young ladies were prompt and helpful.

Dretsch Party, June 2023

The trip was great. Spencer and his deck hand, Hayden, were true pros and did an awesome job.

Nichols/Cosnotti Party, June 2023

We had a fabulous time (and great fishing) despite less-than-perfect weather. We caught limits of Chinook salmon, halibut, and rockfish on all days but one, when we were one halibut short because we kept throwing back the limit halibut in hopes of catching a larger one. We also caught a few coho salmon and lingcod (a personal favorite) with a chum salmon and Pacific cod thrown in for good measure.

Captain Ryan worked very hard to find fish in safe, fishable areas for us, even when the wind was strong. Although he gave recommendations, he always asked for our opinions on what we would like to fish for. Deckhand Adam was always hard at work untangling lines, re-baiting hooks, setting and pulling the anchor, making sandwiches, cleaning and filleting fish, and numerous other tasks. Captain Ryan and Deckhand Adam were always friendly and patient with us, answering our questions and offering advice with a smile. It never seemed like they were “going through the motions” until the trip was over. Alaska salmon fishing was a new experience for most of our group, and everyone was enthusiastic about the trip (except the weather on the second day).

I have fished with charter companies in Alaska and Canada before, but I can honestly say that this trip with Angling Unlimited was the best and smoothest charter experience ever, with attentive and friendly service from the Minnesota office and the Sitka hostesses as well as the charter boat crew. The lodging arrangements were also ideal for our group.

Elliott Party, June 2023

Everything went great, Sarah made a fantastic captain. Very thorough and safety oriented, she put us on fish and was great with the entire family. We’ll be booking again with Angling Unlimited in the future for sure.

Luoma Party, June 2023

We just returned from our 16th consecutive annual fishing trip with Angling Unlimited, all but one with Captain Tom. Jack McNamee, who is already a Captain, was our boat hand. On the 3rd day, Tom let Jack plan the day, select the fishing spot and mostly run the boat. Jack selected the area called “the bowl” for salmon fishing. The previous days, “the bowl” was not productive, and I couldn’t see anything on the fish finder that looked promising. And yet, we had one king immediately and a few minutes later a triple. We caught all 4 kings within 10 minutes, a record for us.

Jack is only 20 years old, and his girlfriend Addie, who is working for AU for the first year, just graduated high school. As an old geezer of 78, I hope to fish with Captain Tom next year, but if Tom retires, we will happily fish with Captain Jack. It’s hard to imagine trusting a 20-year old so much, but I do. Jack relates well to older clients in a way few 20-year olds are able. Growing up with Captain Chuck and Captain Tom has given Jack experience and ability well beyond his years. By the way, we caught limits on everything every day, as usual.

Brantigan Party, June 2023

With Ryan and deckhand Adam, I was simply amazed as they did not miss anything that was going on with 4 of us fishing at any given moment. It’s like their heads were on a swivel, their reaction times were immediate and it felt like I was the only one fishing on the boat. Adam has a great work ethic, continually on the move whether preparing gear, cleaning the boat keeping everyone safe, as well as cleaning the catch. The boat itself was everything we could ask for, plenty of room and comfortable.

Ecklund Party, June 2023

Always a good time with AU, Captain Jack is a really good captain! I certainly enjoy all the time on the boat, and am looking forward to next year doing the same.

Young Party, June 2023

Trip was great! James and Hayden were awesome, great team. Guided first timers wonderfully, very encouraging. Always found the fish!

Paschke Party, June 2023

Our trip was everything I had hoped. First to catch a king or two and everything else. I was a little nervous about including Parker (8 years old), but in essence this trip had a lot to do with him. When I was about his age my father took me on several salmon charters out of San Francisco. It was an important experience for me…now 80, some years have passed. Lev and Logan were exceptional with all of us, but particularly with Parker. I enjoyed the way Lev handled the fishing decisions. Of course it is always somewhat related to good fortune, but we never stayed anywhere to “grind it out” when catching didn’t seem very likely. At the same time, we didn’t just jump off a spot when nothing happened immediately. Moving always made sense and we generally moved to something that was different and happening. He was even able to make a special event out of preparing the sandwiches…a rare skill indeed.

It may be my last trip on big water, and if so, it couldn’t have been better – even the weather cooperated. Finally, for anyone who is interested, I offer the strongest possible recommendation for Lev and Logan.

Burke Party, May 2023

We had a fantastic time. Can’t say enough about Tyler and Gunnar. They got us on the fish, ready to go, and well fed the whole trip. Everyone did a great job on the cabin and ferrying us to and fro. As usual, nothing but raves for the whole AU staff. Got a great Orca show.

McLean Party, June 2023

We all had an awesome experience with our first Angling Unlimited fishing trip! Captain Tyler, deckhand Sam, and hostess Kassie were all top-notch! Also, our lodge room Point Amelia, unit A, was awesome!

Fuglestad Party, June 2023

Fabulous trip for us! We love fishing with DJ and deckhand Wes was great as well. First class service by every person in your operation!

Stick Party, June 2023

It was another great trip with Angling Unlimited! As always the crew did a wonderful job in making our experience the best possible. I have other plans for June of ‘24 so will pass my slot on to someone else. Your business will always be highly recommended by me!

Maughlin Party, June 2023

To start, our trip to Sitka and Angling Unlimited was nothing short of amazing. The entire staff has been wonderful to work with. The attention to detail and providing a top-notch service doesn’t go unnoticed. Our hostess, Kassie, was attentive and thoughtful. It was very apparent she and the entire Hostess team truly enjoy providing a memorable experience. Captain Tyler and deckhand Gunner were so much fun to spend 3 fishing days with. They made our first Alaska fishing trip a positive one and helped us come home with lots of fish! They both went above and beyond in truly every aspect of our fishing trips. It was a pleasure to get to know them both. The party on the pavilion is such an awesome idea and so appreciated! We were able to take in a hike on Indian River (thanks Tess for the recommendation)! The views were spectacular! Because of our experience at Angling Unlimited this trip to Alaska will be far from our last.

Slick Party, May 2023

This was without a doubt the best ever.  Jack put us on the fish exactly where we needed to be, Grif was outstanding, and for a first, we got limits of Black Cod with Lake Sitka offshore on Saturday the conditions were ideal.

Ringler Party, June 2023

I had a phenomenal time with Tyler and Gunner on board. They were very helpful and patient with an inexperienced angler as myself. I can’t say enough good things about Angling Unlimited and how much fun we had.

Smoke Party, June 2023

I totally enjoyed it…had a blast…and you matched me with a great trio of folks….Lev and Logan were tremendous capt/first mate….and AU does a great job taking care of its clients…….you can put me on a solo list…although I am not sure I will go again in 2024…seems I like going every couple of years…but leave me on the list and we will see….thanks again.

Downey Party, June 2023

Captain James and deck hand Hayden did an outstanding job of keeping us safe and getting us limits.

Butera Party, May 2023

We had a great experience during this—our 10th fishing trip to Sitka. The room at the lodge was clean and functional. In addition, we really loved the Lamborghini (someone tried unsuccessfully to convince us it was actually a 2001 Mercury Marquis) that the lodge provided for our driving pleasure. Captain Jack and deck hand Griffin were nothing short of awesome!

Castaldo Party, May 2023

We had a blast, everyone was super glad they came, even the guys who got seasick! Spencer and Ryan were great and I hope they enjoyed our group.

Bullis Party, May 2023

Had a great time! Captain Lev was very personable and attentive and very skilled. Logan was a very impressive young man- very personable and attentive and hard working with great work ethic- It is nice to see these qualities in someone his age.
All of the young ladies I interacted with were likewise very attentive. Overall a very well-run business.

Furtado Party, May 2023

The experience, our first, was great. Capt. Jack put us on the fish, instructed us well on how
to catch each species and we limited out everyday-last day was bonus catch.

The staff at the lodge was great, very helpful and friendly. The group of fishermen/ladies were
friendly and we all bonded well during dinner.

Caldwell Party, May 2023

Had another awesome fishing trip with AU.
First, thank you for working out the group on Captain DJ’s boat. I had a blast fishing with Captain DJ’s dad Dave, his friends Dick and his son Matt.

For the crew – Captain DJ was on the fish as usual. I have never caught 10 Kings before on a trip. Capt. DJ can’t pre-determine the size but I got to keep 3 nice size Kings and had a lot of good salmon runs. Caught an assortment of other fish – Limits of Halibut, a nice Lingcod, Black Cod, Pacific Cod, and Rockfish.

Our Deckhand Wyston was super friendly and worked really hard. Did an awesome job cleaning and fileting our fish. Our group all agreed Wsyton was a real good deckhand.

My Hostess Kassie, was super friendly and straightened out my room each day. Always nice to come back after a long day to a super clean room. She took the time to get to know me. Always a plus.

Shout outs also to Madi – She picked me up at the airport and got me all settled in when I got to the lodge. She was also shuttling our group about half of the time. Again super friendly and helpful.

Kim – Thank you for finding me a spot with AU.

Lastly – Hook it and Cook it was super tasty each night. The food was outstanding and all the hostesses did a great job at serving all of us.
It was tough to leave on Monday because I had such a great time being in Sitka with AU.

Thanks again to the entire AU staff. Incredible trip.

Blessings,
Jim Wilke, May 2023

As usual, AU service was first-class from beginning to end on the trip. Having Captain Chuck on the first day was a real treat, starting us off with our first 30 fish coho limit ever! Made for an awesome dock photo. Highlighting that day, Andrew caught a behemoth beautiful 18 lb coho of which Chuck took a gorgeous photo that we saw made your website – very cool! Captain DJ also really found the fish for us, as always, the next two days, catching another 25 silvers each day, and we could’ve easily limited out again each day if we’d landed a few more that were hooked. An amazing delicious salmon haul to bring home along with all the yummy assorted white fish. And, in the foil bubble liners (thank you!!), all the fish came through great and frozen on our respective return trips to Spokane, Denver, and even Dan’s and my three-stop, 11-hour total trip back to Pittsburgh.

Also special thanks to the shore crew for all the special treatment in shuttling us to and from the dock in Little Blue each day, with Dad’s chair, and also for treating Dad to yet another delicious home-baked German chocolate cake. Extremely thoughtful and appreciated as always!

McCoy Party, September 2022

We had a great experience. After four previous trips, this was my first time fishing with a captain other than Chuck. As anticipated, Captain Tom also provided great fishing, interesting conversation and some laughs along the way. Chuck, of course, gave us everything we could hope for – and more. We were fortunate to have outstanding assistance from Collin as our deckhand for 3 of our 4 days on the water. Kassie did an excellent job as our hostess.

Saltwater fishing was a new experience for Rod, Jerry and Mike. Though we were physically tired at the end of each day, they consistently told me they were having a great time and looking forward to the next day of fishing.

Thanks to AU for another exciting adventure!

Kruse Party, September 2022

We had a wonderful time on our trip! Everything about our trip was so well organized. Captain Tyler and Calvin were a pleasure to fish with. They quickly saw to our every need while fishing and expertly kept us on fish each and every day.

Thanks also to Kassie and Katie and the other staff at AU for making the trip so enjoyable. Pickups and dropoffs were right on time and our lodging was very clean and well stocked.

We enjoyed the chance to meet everyone at the AU-hosted barbeque on Wednesday night. Such an enthusiastic and fun group to be around.

Thanks again,
Mike and Mary Wood

We had a great time. Both Tyler and Calvin couldn’t have been better. Tyler headed to halibut grounds first, as Gary wanted to make sure we got our halibut limit this time. Tyler was good at putting us on drifts that had salmon and moving as the fish got scarce. We enjoyed their positive, enthusiastic attitudes.

Tell them thanks for a good time.
Kathy and Gary Fleming

Fleming Party, September 2022

We had an absolute blast on this trip. Captain DJ and Deckhand Kayden were awesome, professional, and just enjoyable to be around. Captain DJ was extremely knowledgeable and got us on fish everyday no matter what the weather was. He knows every fishing spot there is and is a top-notch captain. Kayden work his rear end off keeping everyone fishing and did an excellent job. Angling Unlimited was the most friendly, professional and well-organized outfit we have ever been to. Unfortunately, we can’t go back every year as much as I would love to. Kassie, Captain DJ, and Kayden, we appreciate you taking good care of us.

Linge Party, September 2022

We absolutely enjoyed our trip. It was so much fun to be with my family (son, son-in-law, and one grandson) and experience this outdoor trip together. We caught lots of Salmon, halibut and rockfish. We also loved our accommodations and food. The Saturday dinner event in the pavilion was special. All of Angling Unlimited are special. Every one of them couldn’t be more helpful. Always smiling and eager to help and please. We had lots of laughs with skipper Sarah and Jack. We felt they worked hard to catch fish and accommodate our every need. And Kim also was so special to help us through all the registration issues. Thanks to everyone.

Van Wyk Party, September 2022

We enjoyed the trip. Rough weather one day but exceptional service from Tom and Collin. The best I have seen in my 10 + years fishing there.

Albenesius Party, September 2022

We had a great time and caught lots in spite of the weather. Captain James and Wes were great. James is a “hoot” too. Very entertaining! Kassie and the rest of the staff were great. We really liked how Kassie took charge of getting us and our luggage checked in at the airport.

We had not been to Sitka and AU for about 10 years. It was refreshing to see that you still have great customer service. You can’t say that about a lot of organizations.

Keagle Party, September 2022

We had a great time with Angling Unlimited and Captain James. We are there to enjoy ourselves and have some fun, catching fish is just a bonus. Captain James is just awesome. He works hard and you can tell he loves what he does. Not only is James our Captian, he is also our friend and we really enjoy fishing with him. Kassie is also a wonderful hostess and if she comes back next year we would like for her to be our hostess again. So you can reserve the boat for us again as I know for sure that we are definitely going to be coming back next year.

Mascaro Party, September 2022

I am going to repeat what I said last year in that Angling Unlimited is so blessed with its entire staff. Captain Lev teamed up with Logan on the Loon and worked in harmony and put us on the fish. They are “top of the heap” if you ask me. All of us came home with two boxes of fish per person and are now the most popular neighbors where each of us live.

Our only complaint is that all our friends want us to make it and entertain them as we seem to have all of the magic recipes. A special shout out to Alex and the processing crew as we were in contact a few times prior to our departure. They are amazing members of the Angling team that often are overlooked. Your product and services are 5+ stars for sure.

Hayenga Party, August 2022

Sarah was an awesome skipper. Skilled, Strong, dedicated, wise, patient, knowledgeable, and just generally a nice person. Her main goal was to make sure we caught fish….and we did – Two 50lb boxes each.

Angling Unlimited runs a first class operation – from the initial pick up to the rooms, the girls that were helping us at home base, the deck hands and the boats – top notch. It was wonderful to see the fruits of our labors show up at the airport in nicely packed boxes with our names on.

Bilben Party, August 2022

Our July trip this year was another amazing, truly blessed experience for all of us! DJ was his usual wonderful, spectacular self as guide, supported by Luke’s now experienced help as deckhand. The shore crew was fabulous too, with special shout-outs to Jenny for organizing baking a birthday cake for me (way too kind of her to do so and deliver it to our room), Tess for organizing our room, and Caden for wheeling Dad up and down the dock ramp on 2nd and 3rd days! Everyone is so kind, generous, and patient, it really makes the trip special for all of us.

Priceless pics of Dad and Melanie with nice kings from the trip. (Notice how DJ and Luke strapped Dad’s chair to the boat with a mooring line – did the trick in rough seas!) Definitely, truly blessed and priceless!

McCoy Party, July 2022

Photo taken July 30th on a trip with captain Chuck.

When I hooked this Pink I had no idea what specie the fish was. When I got it about 75 feet from the boat the sea lion appeared, and I immediately decided it wasn’t going to eat this fish! I reeled like crazy, continually steering the fish away from the hungry predator until our deckhand Caden was able to net it on his third lunge! The whole time I was screaming some not-so-nice things to the sea lion, and at one point everyone in the boat joined in. Captain Chuck said it was definitely the most fun he’s had landing a Pink, and if it weren’t for Caden’s long arms and extra effort we wouldn’t have won the fight! This catch was definitely a highlight of our trip! Thanks again for a great time!

Plampin Party, July 2022

We had a super time this year. Jack and Calvin (the deckhand) were terrific to be with. We also enjoyed our time with Chris and John. We didn’t limit out but are quite satisfied with what we caught and the box of fish we each brought home.

– Gregg Williams

I’ll echo what Gregg said about Captain Jack and deckhand Calvin, they were great and johnny on the spot each time we needed a change of bait or fishing location. They’re both very cordial and professional. And it was a little unique to have two “Calvins” onboard! I go by “Cal”, but I had a few times where I was ready to respond to a “Calvin”.

– Cal Blood

Williams Party, July 2022

This trip as all trips was fantastic. Weather was really nasty Sunday. We managed to get 3 king keepers between the 4 of us, Gary held out, wanted to try and get a bigger one, I let 7 additional King keepers go as per the non-resident limit, 3 baby halibut and a couple silvers and rock fish was our count for the day. Fishing was a little better on Monday, still weather was less than desirable. Fishing was better for a short time, I managed to land 6 nice silvers in approx 20 minutes, unheard of, then seemed to taper off. Not by lack of effort by DJ and deckhand Luke “Luther” McNamee was the cause of slow catching, fish just were not hungry, Tuesday we went deep for cod and got Pacific cod and a few black cod, along with the final King for the 4 of us, nicer size halibut and a couple Ling cod. Bella and the staff at the lodge are great as always, nice talking with everyone at tent night. It was like you don’t see or talk to people for a year and you just pick up where you left off when you do see them.

Hauser Party, July 2022

Fantastic!!!!! We started our trip with two days in Juneau, followed by 5 days in Glacier Bay National Park with one day of fishing there. While at GBNP all I heard from my three “amigos” was – “Really Andy, 3 continuous days of fishing in Sitka, what the heck!” By the last day our experience with Angling Unlimited in Sitka was “BEST TRIP OF MY LIFE!”, from all 3 “fishing buddies”!

Of the almost 400 lbs of fish we brought back my wife, Kathy caught ~45%, AND 4 King Salmon. While debatable with my wife, I caught the largest King Salmon (that’s my story) followed by Kelsie’s King catch. By the end of the 2nd day, Kathy had decided it was “all skill”, not luck. Well, she caught a Silver while sleeping and one day I handed her my rod, turned my back and she had a fish!

The most memorable moment was the Sea Lion theft of our biggest King Salmon on the 2nd day, we all watched Lisa’s King being gobbled down by the mocking Sea Lion. While at the airport waiting to depart, Kathy was making the rounds (we have video) chatting up all the other “fishers” and comparing stories, particularly her catches! What a good time we all had at Angling!

Captain LEV was wonderful! By far the best fishing captain we’ve ever experienced. Not easy with amateurs. These two guys are just SUPER!

Vinson Party, July 2022

When I booked our group to fish with Angling Unlimited, I had no idea our experience would be as amazing as it turned out to be. Captain Lev and Deckhand Logan were phenomenal. They worked continuously together to find fish for us. Logan seemed to be working non-stop prepping hooks, untangling lines, and cleaning our catch while underway. Lev worked tirelessly to find the fish, work the boat, and jumped in when needed on deck to keep things running smoothly and efficiently. In addition, I compliment him on making phenomenal sandwiches. The ground crew in camp kept our rooms cleaned and stocked and anticipated everything we needed. I have never experienced a consumer-oriented business so focused on their clients and so capable as Angling Unlimited. The coordination of effort throughout your organization had to emanate from the top down, because every employee contributed aggressively to make our time in Sitka wonderful. From the amazing people you have hired, through their training to perform so perfectly as a team, along with the enthusiasm demonstrated by each and every one of them, I can only say thank you from all of us. Congratulations to you all; you deserve every accolade imaginable.

Rockwell Party, July 2022

In spite of some rough weather we had a great time. Captain Spencer and his deckhand worked hard to find fish and make our trip as enjoyable as possible. I will certainly be back for my 5th trip but unfortunately not next year. My wife has got me on a cruise ship without fishing rods! Ready to come back to Sitka in 2024.

Tondreau Party, July 2022

Fishing was great! I was with Cpt. James and as always he ran a 1st class operation. We left the storyteller with some great stories to tell!!! What’s more impressive than your Cpts and deckhands is the office staff and young ladies that work for you. They are fantastic at what they do. They are all so polite, helpful, and courteous. They also make some dang good cookies too 😃

Evans Party, July 2022

We had an awesome time. The fishing was great, the weather was perfect, and your staff was awesome as usual. Tyler was fantastic. The first time I came to AU, he was a rookie deckhand and was the deckhand for us in 2019. It was great to see all his hard work pay off and him step up to the captain role.

Wu Party, July 2022

I got home at 1:30 AM last night; fish arrived on time. My time there was absolutely spectacular, you guys run a great program. Your crew Lev and Logan were friendly and became part of our crew so to speak. All of the girls were fantastic, helpful, generous, and happy – I can’t say enough!

I will absolutely recommend you to anybody and everybody that will listen to me. Thanks for the great adventure but I think I got carpal tunnel syndrome from reeling in so many fish! Cheers may your business keep growing as it should.

Rockwell Party, July 2022

Wow!!!! What can I say…. We had the best fishing experience possible. Myself and Hadley had been there before (Twice) but my friends Steve and Tom were first timers.

From the time we were picked up at the airport until we were dropped off all of our needs were met. Tess our Hostess was the best. Captains Jack, Lev, and Sarah were the finest and most professional Captains I’ve ever seen. There was an issue with one of the boats and everybody came together and made what could have been a problem into problem solved!!!!!

My friends are already asking if we are going back next year and how do we make that happen?

I must mention Deckhands Kaden, Calvin, Griff, and Logan….. You guys are what makes fishing in Sitka with Angling Unlimited the best experience possible in Alaska. I hope to see you all next YEAR!!!!!!

Carnes Party, June 2022

We were at Angling Unlimited for June 25,26,27 this year. The onshore weather was terrific as we sunned ourselves on the deck each afternoon. The entire crew is first class and always on time. We fished with captain chuck and his son Luke. They are a great team and got us all the various fish we wanted. The atmosphere was light as we joked and laughed our way through the day sharing jokes and laughing all the time. Attention to detail is the name of the game with Angling Unlimited. The whole crew are very professional and no detail is overlooked. BTW Capt Chuck makes the best sandwiches! Can’t wait to come back next year.

Liebman/Reilly Party, June 2022

We had a great time! The weather for us the past two years has been wonderful and last Thursday it was 78 in Sitka. It was warmer in Sitka than our hometown of Seabeck. Jake and Brian were amazed at the fish they caught, and this year was a wider variety of fish too. Our boat caught salmon, halibut, lingcod, rockfish, true cod and black cod. Bob caught a couple of halibut that were over the 40″ but under the 80″ limit, as well as an oversized lingcod. I had a fun time reeling in a rockfish that a lingcod decided to have for lunch that day so I landed two fish in one.

Captain Jack was once again spot on. Really, he is a wise soul and boat captain at the ripe old age of 26! It is always a good day on the water when you are catching fish, laughing and having fun. Calvin, our deckhand, did a great job. I was surprised it was his first year being a deckhand as he netted the fish, rebaited hooks, and cleaned fish like a pro. Those guys work hard! Lucia took good care of us and answered all our questions.

Jensen Party, June 2022

I have lost count as to how many times I have enjoyed this trip to Alaska, but they get better every time. DJ never fails to impress me with his ability to find the fish. Chuck has a great guide in DJ …. always into serving the customers. By the way, the 1st mate (Caden) did a tremendous job as well.

Parrish Party, June 2022

Jack and Calvin and your whole staff were fantastic. I have been telling people who ask about our trip about what a top-notch outfit you guys run. You might be getting some calls for bookings. Thank you again and pass the word on to Chuck and the rest of the crew what a great job they do!

Nordquist Party, June 2022

James always does a great job for us. It is interesting how he matches the fishing spot with the weather, for best advantage. We are definitely on for next year.

Gulden Party, June 2022

We all had a phenomenal time!! Everything went perfect, James and Hayden were fantastic, the 1st day was a bit rough with the wind and we missed getting one king and couldn’t get out to deeper water for the bigger halibut, but still a good time. It was the day I fished ☹ the next day was perfect for the boys and they limited by 10:00am!!!.

Maddie was fantastic and the other office help. Kim, thanks again for a well-organized and hassle-free trip, you guys have this dialed down to perfection, no suggestions on improvement 😊

Tennant Party, June 2022

The trip was amazing. Lev and Logan were really great to spend three days with. The entire trip was executed seamlessly by the team there. Anna was also a wonderful hostess. This was an unbelievable trip and can’t wait to do it again. This will be something I do every year.

Desmarais Party, June 2022

Yes, the trip was as good as the last one and in ways a little better and a little worse. Better, because we were able to fish for cod and more rockfish. Worse, due to the weather being a bit wet and cold that early in the season. The crew made sure we all had fun and caught lots of fish.

We will be back in future years. The company runs like a well-oiled machine. Cannot imagine anyone having a complaint about the service AU provides.

Davey Party, June 2022

Unforgettable 3-day trip! Came in with limited fishing knowledge or skill, but I learned so much from the knowledgeable 7th Sun crew — and I’m already planning my next fishing trip this summer! Captain Sam, Tyler, and deckhand Jack were a blast and led us through both calm and rough waters with success; we limited out on king salmon, halibut, and rockfish on the first day, even snagging a few cod and a cabezon. Everyone else at Angling Unlimited (including Bella, the office manager, and Anna, our hostess) was so welcoming and helpful, and the entire operation is one incredibly well-oiled machine; our room at the lodge and boat were always stocked with food, and the process of getting our filets home with us was seamless. Thank you all for the amazing experience!

– Talia Zook, Odd Dog, May 2022

Odd Dog Party, May 2022

By far the best fishing trip I have ever had !! Great weather ( l know you have no control over that ) Great fishing and who could ever have ask for a better captain than James !!!
The girls were the best, housekeeping was top-notch!! Hoping to make it again next year.

Dingman Party, June 2022

We had another wonderful time!! Captain James and deckhand Hayden did a great job and were a lot of fun to be around.

Schmidt Party, June 2022

We had a great time on the trip. Caught lots of fish, and enjoyed the Scenery. We really enjoyed everyone, and especially Captain James and Haden. I have some friends at work who would love this trip as well and will pass on the info.

Arther Party, June 2022

Had an excellent time! Lev and Logan on the Loon were absolutely amazing. Top notch professionalism from the entire staff. It was my first time and it was truly an unreal experience. Thank you to everyone involved, especially our Captain and Deckhand!

Davey Party, June 2022

We had a great trip with Lev and Logan. Limits on King and Halibut everyday and great cod fishing the last day. Accommodations are very good and the rest of the staff was top notch. We even got to drive old red again!!

Lundstrom Party, June 2022

James was a wonderful host and guide, a great representative of Angling Unlimited for sure! We fit in a little Vikings conversation too, who I am still a fan, unless playing Seattle. It was so great working with so many Minnesotans! The young ladies you hire as hosts are another great reflection of the company. I feel we experienced Sitka, however, there were a few restaurants that hadn’t opened up yet. Brian and I have been enjoying the fish very much! Overall, it tastes better than what we have access to, it could also because Team Peterson caught it! We left Sitka in unanimous agreement that this is likely an annual trip, you cannot beat the flight time out of Seattle. From the arrival into the Sitka airport to the departure, with Chuck there making sure that fish boxes are ready for travel, a quality experience indeed! Thanks so much for your handling of our reservation.

Peterson Party, June 2022

I thoroughly enjoyed fishing with Jack and Calvin. Another highly professional, safe and fun AU trip!

Barnes Party, June 2022

We really enjoyed our trip. Captain Ryan and Pete are a great crew. They worked hard to get us fish. I would be happy to fish with them again.

Maughlin Party, June 2022

Our trip was great! Captain Ryan and his nephew Pete were a lot of fun! Really enjoyed spending time with them both! We definitely had a fun time with those two! It was my first time ever fishing and then I go to Alaska! Crazy woman I am! The deckhands sure work their tails off and earn their keep!

Ecklund Party, May 2022

Wow! What an incredible fishing trip this was! Would highly recommend AU to anyone looking for the very best fishing charter and lodge in Sitka, AK. Angling Unlimited was an impressively well-oiled machine and the team went above and beyond at every opportunity. Our crew on board made the trip fun, unforgettable, and so rewarding with all of the fish we brought home. Captain Sam was an expert fisherman, navigator, AND entertainer. He kept us laughing and smiling the whole time. Thanks for everything Captain Sam! Tyler and Jack were expert deckhands, attentive to our every need, even filleted our fish on the boat on our way back to harbor each day, and even taught us how to fillet the fish ourselves!

Everything was meticulously prepared and ready for each and every activity of the trip. A truly all-inclusive experience! They handled everything from airport pickup, to lunch and snacks on board every day, to fish processing, packaging, freezing, to airport drop off and logistics at the end of our trip. And our Hostess Anna was so terrific! She kept the whole trip running smoothly for us, and baked the best cookies!! The AU team was with us every step of the way to be sure our trip was comfortable and memorable.

Thank you for everything, Chuck, Tom, Kim, Bella, Sam, Anna, Tyler, and Jack for making this the trip of a lifetime. We’ll be back!!

– Bridget, Odd Dog, May 24, 2022

Odd Dog Party, May 2022

I had a great time this year. The ocean was great all three days. We had to work for the fish we got. We got a variety of different fish with daily limits or near limits of salmon, halibut and rock fish. Also got several pacific cod and black cod. Overall a very nice trip.

Delarm Party, May 2022

Our group had a memorable trip to Sitka, Alaska. From the time we exited the plane in Sitka to the end of our trip, the team from Angling Unlimited treated us like royalty making sure that all our needs were met. The host, the shuttle drivers, the office personnel and the entire office crew did an unforgettable job of customer service. The boat Crew, Captain Jack and First Mate Clayton, not only did a great job of finding fish, but their personalities, stories and their devotion to providing for our every need on the boat was first-rate. Every staff member we met was gracious and seemed to really love working for Angling Unlimited. Thank you Kim for always being there to answer our questions.

Krey Party, May 2022

The trip was fantastic. The accommodations were terrific. The organization and efficiency of the staff was top notch. DJ and Caden were professional and enjoyable to be with. I would highly recommend Angling Unlimited to anyone.

B. Williams Party, May 2022

It was the trip of a lifetime!!! We are so happy we went! We were blown away by Angling Unlimited. Sarah was the greatest captain and guide. She handled the boat like a pro!

Flaherty Party, May 2022

Everyone had a delightful time. Due to John and my late arrival, our group ended up fishing with Captains Ryan and DJ. On our last day, John and I fished with Captain Tyler. All captains were outstanding. John and I thank AU for going the extra mile and getting us an extra day on the water.

Ritorto Party, May 2022

Wow! What an incredible fishing trip this was! Would highly recommend AU to anyone looking for the very best fishing charter and lodge in Sitka, AK.

– Bridget, Odd Dog, May 24, 2022

Odd Dog Party, May 2022

Karen and I had another great time fishing in Sitka. Everything was perfect for us. We caught our share of fish and Spencer did his usual outstanding job in putting us over the fish. Lucas did a great job cooking the gourmet meals for us during the 4 evenings. They were all delicious!! Everything was outstanding. Karen and I plan to come again in 2023 for Hook It and Cook It. We hope we can fish with Spencer as captain again. We also had a great time with Kevin and his guests.

Eng Party, May 2022

We had another fine trip to Sitka and we remarked several times while there at the crew’s great organization and efficiency. Captain Lev and Logan worked their butts off for us and were pleasant to be with every hour of our long days despite some rough conditions. They get a five-star rating from us.

Landers Party, May 2022

Thank you and EVERYONE at Angling Unlimited for another priceless, blessed summer of fishing for our family! From the 1st class service of your shore crew (thank you Madi!) to DJ and his seasoned skill & patience on the water with us, both trips were awesome! He set up Dad in the back of the boat with a perfect accessible chair arrangement. And capping off our last day of fishing with Captain Chuck teaming up with DJ to be our deckhand was a blast. He’s so good and fun – that was a treat. After struggling to find silvers for the first 2.5 days, we got into a school at one point on the last afternoon and DJ & Chuck managed to help us land all four silvers at once of a QUADRUPLE header (would’ve been a QUINTUPLE if I’d managed to hook mine!). Got a priceless pic with all of us and DJ after that flurry. Such great memories!

McCoy Party, September 2021

As always I had a great time, fishing was exceptionally slow compared to the last 20 years of coming up to Sitka BUT by no means because of a lack of effort on Capt Sarah’s part, the Salmon just were not there. I really had a great time returning for my 2 trips per year again this year. As always the staff and crews are so nice and will bend over backward to make your trip as pleasant and enjoyable as possible.

It was great to see Madison and Cassie again, great hostesses they are, along with the other young ladies. Luke was a great deckhand and would enjoy fishing with him again. Always enjoy talking with Jen, she is always in a good mood and uplifting attitude, Chuck is always Chuck, a fun guy. Tell the Sitka crew and you Kim, thanks for another great trip with AU, I can’t wait to get back up there in July and fish with DJ, and back in Sept and fish with Capt Sarah.

Hauser Party, September 2021

Truly an outstanding experience…Captain Spencer and Drake were awesome as were Jen and your entire staff there in Sitka. Honestly, every single one of them are stars!

The Yellow house provided everything we needed. It was neat, clean and well-stocked for breakfast. Very nice location for a walk down around the waterfront. Having a vehicle was a big plus. Thanks.

Very pleased with the fishing success. High seas the second day kept us off the ocean; however, Spencer worked hard and still managed to find fish. We did not limit out either day but the Silvers were bigger than last time around so we ended up with a little more in the boxes overall.

Noyes Party, September 2021

I could not think of a better way to have spent my 50th birthday than fishing with my three boys, my brothers, and my nephews, thanks in large part to Angling Unlimited. From beginning to end, your hospitality and attention to detail was superb. We loved fishing with Jack, the coho hound dog, and Dave. They were truly a dynamic fishing duo committed to making sure we found the fish even on the slow days. It wouldn’t take long for Jack to sense we were in a dry hole and to quickly try and new spot. On the last day, he meticulously surveyed the grounds before picking a spot to anchor and picking up 22 cohos in less than 3 hours while we watched other boats grind it out. And Dave never left our hooks unbaited but for a few seconds. A couple of times, I went to reach for my tangled line to untangle it but he was always there in an instant. As a result, our lines maximized the time they were finding the fish. Everything was just great and I’d love to do it again especially if we could get Jack and Dave.

Kayser Party, September 2021

Our trip could not possibly have been better. The fishing, weather, camaraderie, etc., were truly outstanding

As usual, AU performed admirably, with Capt. Tom being at his finest.  Nobody does it better than Tom, Chuck, Jen and crew.  Proud to be a member of the AU family.
Dicks, Miller, Thompson, Barkus Party, September 2021

Our trip was awesome! Coho fishing was a little slow the first couple of days but then got hot the last day. Bottom fishing was lights out lots of Halibut, Lingcod, Black cod and P-cod. We certainly enjoyed getting to see and fish with Sarah again. What a wonderful human being. Jaime and Bod were also a blast to fish with. They make a really great pair!!

Nixon Party, August 2021

An awesome trip. Angling Unlimited is first class on all fronts. We really appreciate you making this trip easy for us. Your staff is A grade and your facilities and boats are perfect for what we are looking for in a trip.

Our Captain DJ and Luke were great. DJ is a focused hard worker and did what it took to find the fish. We really appreciated his extra efforts to keep moving if we did not land in a productive hole. I can’t imagine working that hard one day after the next, yet he clearly does. A big thank you to him as well as Kassie

Thanks again for the A-grade hospitality and fishing experience. All fish are resting well in the freezer. All made it home in scheduled timing.

Kayser Party, September 2021

We had a wonderful time. I would find it hard to believe that there is a better Captain than Spencer. My Boys and I commented multiple times about the great organization that goes into making this trip most memorable. It’s hard to put into words how enjoyable a trip like this can be.

I really appreciate your help in putting the trip together after 2019. I am amazed that you were able to come through for us and make it the best trip ever.

Thank you, Spencer and the whole staff in Sitka for making this the best ever.

Olson Party, August 2021

Our trip was nothing short of amazing!

Maddi was so great and on top of anything we needed.

Nick was awesome! We kept him busy with tangled lines, changing bait, and lunch. He makes a mean sandwich. We even got this quiet guy to talk a bit.

James kept things really fun. From his random music mix, the count down to move to the next spot, there was no getting bored on The Storyteller. He was also great about teaching us little tricks on how to test our bait, see if we really had a fish on, etc. He definitely knows his stuff.

Thanks for an amazing trip. I hope to be back again soon.

Martinkus Party, August 2021

The trip was fantastic. The fishing was great and everyone at the resort was so pleasant and accommodating.

I can’t say enough about our Captain Lev and deckhand Brian. Not only did they put us on the fish but their instructions on the different fishing methods were right on. They were both very personable and a pleasure to spend the day with.

Looking forward to making a return trip.

Stapleton Party, August 2021

Captain Spencer and Drake were amazing! Spencer put us on the fish and we love him! We want him again as our Captain! Thank you! Great time. The staff, as always, was awesome too. Thank you!!

Braun Party, August 2021
Had an awesome trip – Captain DJ was awesome as usual and did a great job. Caught some nice size kings, bigger Halibut, and big Lingcod that we had to release. Great catching those big fish. Was the first time the boat (all 4 of us) caught limits of Silvers all three days in all my years of fishing. Something I don’t expect but it was good. The crew was great as well taking care of us.
Wilke Party, August 2021

The trip was awesome. Can’t emphasize enough what a fantastic job everyone at AU does to ensure we have a great and memorable trip.

Swant Party, August 2021
This was my first fishing trip, it was amazing! James and Nick were awesome and worked hard for their money since I’m a rookie, lol.
The staff was fun and friendly Maddy did a great job of hosting. Everything was super easy, we didn’t have to worry about anything, other than getting to the boat and if we had enough layers on.
Great time! Will definitely be back!

Wilke Party, August 2021

Our trip was fabulous. Those employees (the kids as we called them) are above and beyond what we expected. Angling Unlimited has been blessed with being able to surround themselves with that kind of work ethic and talent. The boats and fishing equipment were perfect. There is nothing that we can say that is negative.

As far as the Loon, Lev, again a kid as he is my sons age and looks just like him, is very obviously a seasoned pro. He knows what he is doing! Again, another one of “Anglings” great blessings.

A special shout out to Owen, our first mate who was called to fill in for a couple of weeks. We learned that he had never been a mate before on any type of charter boat, but you would have never known. He was fabulous, knew what he was doing, and worked his butt off. I think it’s an amazing testament to the Men and Women who serve our country. They truly go above and beyond at everything they do.

Hayenga Party, August 2021

Had another really great time. Caught fish by the ton. However…I have aged out and will not be making future trips. Been five times and loved every minute of it.

Your people are very very easy to work with and they take care of every detail. I could not be a happier customer. Unfortunately at age 85 I just can’t do it any longer without pain and suffering.

My very best to all the folks at AU. I leave with a lifetime full of great memories.

Trilogy Party, August 2021

The fishing trip with AU was fantastic, even if the weather didn’t cooperate for the first two days. Walking down the dock to our boat and seeing Spencer smiling, with his welcoming handshake extended to us was a wonderful moment and it felt very much like a family reunion. After all, we have been exclusively fishing with Spencer for the past six years. Spencer made the most of some very challenging weather and sea conditions. In addition, we were introduced to Sole fishing when we could not go out to the deeper halibut grounds. We even got a couple of lingcod to add to our variety boxes. All in all, we all had a great time and look forward to fishing with Spencer and AU next year.

Carney Party, August 2021

Had a great trip with DJ, Luke and team.  Can’t say enough about the entire AU team who makes the stay very fun.

Fluke/Lockwood Party, August 2021

We had a great trip. My wife Wendy had always wanted to go, but wasn’t sure she’d enjoy getting up so early and spending so much time on the water. She absolutely loved it! Jaime was a really fun Captain, and Tom was a great teacher with a dry sense of humor. Zack was terrific and always entertaining. We also got to know Kassie pretty well and really enjoyed talking with her. We all loved seeing the wildlife, and the sunset one evening was absolutely spectacular.

Newbies, Judy, Dennis and Wendy loved the unit that we stayed in. It was fun seeing the AU operation through the eyes of people who’d never experienced it before.

Ben showed up while we were there and took the time to come over to our unit to seek me out and talk. So did Jenn and Chuck who sought me out at the Friday event. It made me feel like part of the AU family.

Newton Party, August 2021

Tough weather, but James and Scotty made the most of everything. They could not have worked harder to make sure we had a great time. This was my fourth trip and I could not be more impressed with everyone I’ve met at Angling Unlimited. You have a fantastic organization. I hope you are all proud of what you have built.

Once again, please pass along my compliments regarding James and Scott. They are both people of great character. They take pride in their work and they are really good at it!

Pelly Party, August 2021

Well, things sure turned around this year as far as the number of people traveling. Our flights were all full and some were late. You just have to bite the bullet. We had an adventure just landing in Sitka. The plane circled for 60 minutes until the fog and clouds cleared. Finally, we made it grabbed our luggage, and went to the smiling-faced Hostesses. Elli was our great hostess and made everything very easy. The room was perfect as usual. Spencer was, of course, the fishing magnet. I’ve never seen a guy work so hard to find fish. His new deckhand Hunter worked his butt off and was always on top of things. Changing baits, gaffing fish, making sandwiches, always hustling and learning. The water conditions were perfect. We had to work hard finding fish but we did pretty darn good. I had two new guys in my crew, who had never experienced Alaska fishing. They have stories forever. Angling Unlimited is just a well-oiled machine. Ready for 2022. Thank you…Oh, I forgot Ryan, the Processor. He was so helpful at the airport making a hectic experience easy… That’s it.

Feinmark Party, August 2021

We had an awesome trip! Beautiful weather, friendly helpful staff, clean spacious stocked rooms on the waterfront. Hard to think of how things could have gone much better. We caught tons of fish and brought home 4 boxes of meat.

Your company is great at what it does.

Hammon Party, July 2021

I thought our trip went great! Both Sarah and James were super with the kids, helping them with anything they needed. The kids had a great time and I’m sure they will want to join us again in the future. James and Sam were also great in helping Mike’s dad, Len.

Hopkins Party, July 2021

We had a wonderful trip with great memories! It was such a joy to be with my dad and brothers and Captain Chuck again this year. My personal goal for this trip was to catch and land a big king and boy did I! My 36 pound king was one of my highlights.

Reed Party, July 2021

We had a great time. Frank who is an EVP of sales for Bombardier says it was one of his top things he has ever done. He sells private jets for a living and if you google his name and look at images you will see him with Bono, Taylor Swift, Meryl Streep, etc. Said you guys blew him away by Thursday at 10 am :-)…. Everyone had a great time this year and way better than last year. Might be because these were my friends versus I was a fill in for a group last year.

Martinez Party, July 2021

It is impossible to adequately describe the joy we all experienced with Chuck and son Jack – what a perfect crew for my little crew!! It was a dream come true and the weather – wow – Neptune came through for us and gave us a mirror ocean for 2 of the 3 days and the 3rd was OK as well.

I thanked Chuck and Jack and told Chuck on the boat that this was the last grandkid trip – 5 of 8 came to AU and told Chuck that I would be taking July out of the yearly schedule. As you’ll remember, the days he fished with us were days that he originally had OFF – and he was so very kind to do this – SPECIAL!!

Thank you for your efforts on our behalf Kim – you are one of the key players in all of our moments of happiness – Here’s to YOU!!

McLendon Party, July 2021

The trip was excellent as it has been every year for the past 21 years. Hart and I always enjoy fishing with Capt DJ. It is always a pleasure. Silver salmon fishing was a bit slow but not by lack of effort by DJ, also fishing with deckhand Luke McNamee, we kept calling him Luther, was a lot of fun. Very good deckhand and nice young man, hope to fish with him again.

A lot of new faces this year in Sitka, it was nice to see Bella as the office manager, she is always a joy to talk to, but everyone is the best as always. Weather was nice, all in all, fishing was good. Came back with 2 boxes of fish, a lot of black cod, ling cod, P cod and we all got our Kings and a good halibut harvest, so I am happy.

Tommie and I can’t wait to get up there in September and Fish with Capt Sarah. Hart and I are definitely coming back next year at the same time slot.

On another note fishing with Matt and Miles was great, we all clicked right from the get-go. The 4 of us went out to dinner the last night they were there and hopefully will be fishing together again next year. Thank you as always for another great AU trip, Hart made a great comment the day we arrived in Sitka saying coming up here is like getting released from prison, it feels so free, not that either of us have been in prison, but a great saying I thought.

Hauser Party, July 2021

McLendon Party, July 2021

We had a great trip! Some of the best weather of any of the trips I’ve been with AU. Captain Tom and deckman Cody were outstanding as always — and I think we all learned more about the skills and nuances of angling for Kings, Halibut, Silvers, Black Cod, and uncounted species of rockfish.

Appreciate all you do to make our trip run smoothly — as always, we didn’t have a worry or a care from the moment we stepped off the plane in Sitka until we flew back to reality on Wednesday.

Burnett Party, July 2021

Our trip was great as always and as always AU did an outstanding job!

Jaime always went above and beyond the expectations of customer service. Ellie always had a way of making us feel like we were all just one big family and wish her the best on her next adventures in life.

We would like to give a shout-out to Zach, we were impressed how well he did in his first year of being a deckhand! We look forward to seeing him next year.

Last but not least we want to say thank you to every individual at AU for all the hard work y’all do to make this happen in a free country we live in! God bless y’all and God bless Merica🇺🇸

I only have one request…..more ginger snap cookies 🤣👍🏻!

Kimber Party, July 2021

Had a great time as we always do!

Thanks Capt. Chuck and Jack for some great fishing. Brought home lots of fish & had a great time on the boat. Had a bunch of “first timers” on this trip, they were all very impressed and talked about others they “must bring”.

The accommodations were spectacular, we were treated like kings and queens by all the staff (AU is a sharp outfit) and the scenery and wildlife were amazing, the “First time Alaska” were stunned. I’m still amazed by how charmed I am be the whole area even after all these years.

McLean Party, July 2021

We had a great time with Ryan & Pete.

The office rooms were very nice. 2 of us got to stay in a 2 person suite for 2 nights. Very nice of staff to offer us as it was tight with 6 persons in one suite.

Our host was very nice and helpful.

Good to see Captains – James, Tom & Chuck

Thanks again

Faulkner Party, July 2021

We had a great time and brought home lots of fish, two boxes each. Capt. Chuck and his son were a great crew and good company to boot. The weather gods have rarely smiled so brightly.

Schuler Party, July 2021

Our trip to Angling Unlimited in Sitka, Alaska was everything that Kim said it would be and then some.

The fishing, weather, and hospitality was outstanding. Every person working at AU was so fun and friendly and by their actions showed that they truly love what they are doing. What a tribute to the McNamee family!!

Captain Chuck was great….. but Jack, his son, the deckhand was amazing!!!! We caught our limit every day but even if we wouldn’t have it was worth the trip to experience the scenery, the whales, the bird sanctuary, the Black Sand Beach, the luncheon that Chuck made for us with the homemade cookies each day, the ocean (two days of calm ocean and one day of “angry” ocean) and seeing how life is lived elsewhere!

We are enjoying treating our kids and grandkids to different recipes for salmon and halibut. They loved hearing our stories and they themselves are hopeful that they will be able to experience AU someday.

We made unbelievable memories that will stay with us for the rest of our lives and we are so thankful to have had the opportunity to experience this once in a lifetime deep-sea fishing adventure at AU.

Thank you so much AU

Pierzinski Party, July 2021

My husband and I went on a fishing trip through Angling Unlimited for our honeymoon and we were so impressed by this company – we cannot say enough great things! My husband has been on multiple fishing trips and said this one far exceeds any he has ever been on. Their attention to detail, customer service, and communication is outstanding. What impressed us the most was how hardworking the staff was. Our captain, Captain DJ, and deckhand Luke were some of the most hardworking people I have ever met. While on the boat, they consistently provided the best experience for us and ensured we had everything we needed for a great 3-days of fishing. I also want to say a big shout out to our hostess, Synneva, for all her help during our trip. She was beyond friendly, helpful, and professional from the moment we met her at the airport until the end of our trip – which appeared to be a common thread with all of the hostesses! Lastly, this company is beyond streamlined with logistics. From the day we arrived, I felt like we never had to wait. They were so on top of being on time – ensuring customers got to their destination quickly and promptly. At the end at the airport, when we were greeted by two young boys who packaged our fish, I still couldn’t believe how friendly they greeted us and ensured we were all set to go to end our trip. The top-notch service never stopped! Overall, this was the best honeymoon we could have ever asked for (not to mention – we brought home SO much fresh fish!). Thank you to the whole team at Angling Unlimited for making this happen for us. I can say with 100% confidence we will be back – and hope to bring many more friends and family with us next time!

Whittington Party, July 2021

We had a great time….it felt so good to be back after missing last year. Captain Lev was outstanding…and Logan was great as well, he’s learning under a good teacher in Lev….good stuff.

Erwin Party, July 2021

We had an amazing time! Ryan and Peter were awesome! Your staff was great and the amenities and bots were nice and comfortable. It might take us a few years to eat all the fish before we need more!

Holland Party, July 2021

Our trip was fabulous. We brought home about 300 pounds of fish, and definitely created a lasting memory for all of us. Captain Lev and Logan were great, and took exceptional care of us.

While I’m sure the accommodations at the lodge were pretty nice, staying at the Hughes House was an added bonus for us. It was nice to be able to unwind in an actual house at the end of the day that had a great view of the water and surrounding mountains to boot.

This trip was a high school graduation present for my oldest grandson Nicholas, and he’s already talking about returning to Sitka some day to hunt, fish and hike. I hope he will be able to eventually fulfill that goal.

Thank you for everything you did on your end to make this trip perfect and unforgettable.

Belshay Party, July 2021

Please let Tom and Chuck know that we were 110% pleased with every aspect of our stay.  Spencer and Hunter did an amazing job.  Ellie was great.  Your whole crew was great.  I have consistently found in all of the trips I have taken to Angling Unlimited and anyone I have recommended going all say……everything your team can control you do.  It is great to see how the business has flourished under your leadership and how your team are such wonderful ambassadors for your organization.  You have a very, very special guide in Spencer and it was a joy to spend time with him.

Kane Party, June 2021

We had a great time! Captain Sarah was amazing, as was her deckhand, Caden.

We went in not quite sure what to expect and we were blown away with how much fun we had, and how many fish we caught.

The guys who met us at the airport with our fish were also extremely helpful. And Ellie, who drove us around was also great. Really fantastic staff and operation.

We will be back!

Emery Party, June 2021

We had a great trip and Captain Spencer was fantastic. In addition to being a really good captain, he is super interesting to talk to and has a broad range of topics he can speak to intelligently. Overall our time on the boat was really enjoyable.

Harmon Party, June 2021

James and Sam did their usual outstanding job of finding fish and worked incredibly hard to get them into the boat, even providing curated musical accompaniment. They coped with some iffy weather, a couple of days when the fish were just not cooperating and some seasickness, and in spite of it all filled out our fish boxes. At my request Captain James made a valiant and successful effort to make sure we brought home at least one Sable Fish.

All of your staff, including the girls and the processing people, contributed to our successful trip with their cheerful, can-do attitudes.

Gulden Party, June 2021

I had another amazing time in Sitka. As always Angling was awesome all across the board. James is an incredible person and a great friend. Lev is really cool and great captain. Elle as always was such a pleasure to be around. Ryan (fish processor) was helpful at the airport and is a genuine person. The lodging was perfect. We enjoyed being in town. I wish I was able to come back this year. The time went too fast.

Raney Party, June 2021

Our experience with Angling Unlimited was fantastic! It was helpful to be able to pick up the rain gear the night before. Captain Lev and Logan were terrific! We’ve fished with other companies and there’s no comparison! They were GREAT and on every detail throughout the day. Thank you also for including us in your lasagna dinner. That was very kind! All of your staff were extremely friendly. Lucia gave us cool hiking suggestions and spent time chatting with us. Ryan and (sorry forgot 2nd person’s name) met us at the airport and were super helpful with getting our fish on the plane. Thanks for everything!

Lilienstein Party, June 2021

Everyone there is fantastic and we have DJ to thank for the great fishing.

Mullarky Party, June 2021

Kyle & I had a great time. The crew and staff were terrific and the fishing was very good. We would recommend you and your company. Thanks again for helping us with everything.

Dreyer Party, June 2021

The fishing trip was fantastic. It was so good to be able to share this experience with my three sons.

Ryan and Gretta, Pete and Ellie all made this experience so great. I’m positive there will be future trips for the Grotbo family.

The fish arrived home in excellent condition.

The fishing experience offered by Angling Unlimited will keep us coming back.

Grotbo Party, June 2021

Everything about our trip couldn’t have been better. From the time we got off the plane to assistance checking in our fish at the airport everything was top notch. Captain Jack was perfect. He got us on fish early and often and was really cool to talk to. Kaden worked his tail off to make sure we had everything we needed to be successful. Synevva and our lodging were fantastic. I would like to hold our dates for next year. We may come in a day early again but I will figure that out when we figure out who is coming for sure and book our flights. Thank you again for a fantastic experience for our entire crew start to finish.

Nordquist Party, June 2021

As a group, and we all individually own business, we talked many times about the efficiency of the operation in moving people from plane, to motel, to lodge, to boat and back. Over and over and over. Our hostess picked up at midnight got us checked in. Moved us at 10am the next morning to the lodge. And checked us in there. Next morning 4am knocking on her door. Her and the other hostesses seemed to be operating without direction and supervision but yet they were always moving and doing something.

On the boat. Sarah was great. We caught a lot of fish and quickly each day. 15 kings was our best day. Over limit Lin Cod and Halibut. Just very focused on catching the fish.

I would like to mention Nick the deck hand since we spent the most time with him. He like the hostesses were always working on the boat without being told what to do. He seem to know what needed to be done. Whether it was ready bait, rinse down or scrub down the boat, and process fish on the way home. What made it really impressive is he has only been a deckhand for a month.

Across the whole operation nothing but positives.

I really wanted to focus on the staff we dealt with. Maddie, Nick and Sarah. Sarah I think is a known quality, everyone knows how she did, she was great. But we were so impressed with the young staff. End of the day we sat on the deck, drank beer and just watched their activity. People in and out. Delivery stuff to rooms. And we commented “whose in charge?” There didn’t seem to be something telling them what to do. They were just doing it. Whereas I get phone calls and texts from clients that my staff don’t call them back when I am gone. And I employ 30 year professionals.

Additionally, I did not talk about the fishing. It was phenoemenal. Second day we had limited out Kings, Halibut, Rockfish my 9:32. Sarah and I noted the time we brought in the last rock fish. So we just went back over to the King Salmon area and caught and released 6 more salmon for fun.

This group travels around the country and mexico to fish (Florida Keys- Sails, Venice, La, for Tuna, Cabo for marlin), we know some days you won’t catch fish, and we have had bad service or stay.

I forgot the fish processor. He met us everyday on the dock with a big smile. How did you do? Walked us through the processing and storage process and then was at the airport at 5:15AM loading our fish to the airlines. Again, just another rock star.

Pender Busek Party, June 2021

We had a truly memorable trip. The fishing, of course, was spectacular. It was fun fishing with Ryan and Peter, and we were paired up with two really nice guys from San Diego. The staff in Sitka was wonderful, friendly, and helpful and made our visit very enjoyable.

Cooney Party, June 2021

This fishing trip was everything I was hoping it would be. I have fished in Sitka a number of times and Angling Unlimited has it figured out! I would have no problem recommending them to my friends. Great friendly service and hard-working knowledgeable Captains and Deckhands. Captains DJ and Spencer were great!

It was an awesome trip for everyone! I especially enjoyed watching my grandsons landing Kings! It was their first time fishing.

Thanks to all the Angling Unlimited staff!

Brucker Party, June 2021
