This next year I will be preparing to go Alaska Salmon Fishing for my exotic vacation. I'd been watching a cable TV program and the magnificence of Alaska enthralled me. An Alaskan fishing adventure would supply memories which I could reminisce about for a long time. I discovered that I needed to organize my visit well ahead of time and made the decision to go in the beginning of June, simply because I seemed to be most excited about the king salmon and found that the most desirable months were between May through August.


 I can still recall my initial fishing experience as a child. I possessed a two piece bamboo pole having a string connected to the end. I observed as other anglers having undoubtedly far more pricey gear and having considerably more experience fishing, positioned at various locations near the lake making the most of the surrounding beauty of nature. The bait that I had been using was primarily earthworms that I had dug up from my own yard. While some of the other anglers had not been having very much fortune that day, my bamboo pole with the string was doing its job fairly effectively. I'd been in a position to snag a handful of smaller sized fish by means of grasping the string after I sensed an actual pull on the pole, and then gradually wrapping the line around the pole until such time as I was prepared to get hold of that fish using my hand. Later on that day, I observed a substantial tug on the rod and whatever was on the fishing line was way too tough to pull in like I was able to with the other ones. I was wishing the fish would get tired and stop his struggling, but he ended up becoming stronger and more defiant and he ended up yanking the top section of the rod with the attached string right into the water. I ended up returning home with two tiny fish and just half of my fishing rod.


Because I experienced such great results as a kid with that sizable mystery fish, the challenge of opting for the king salmon was alluring. The king salmon, often known as the Chinook salmon, happens to be the largest of the salmon species. The current world record for a sport-caught king salmon weighed 97.25 pounds. This fish was caught in the Kenai River in Alaska back in 1985. The average weight is generally between 20 and 40 pounds. That could nevertheless make a great dinner.


I decided that using an experienced guide would make my experience much more pleasurable. One item that a qualified guide can help you with is helping you choose the actual rod and reel that you need to use. The bamboo rod would no longer be my top choice. A good fishing guide can also provide you with a number of the methods that will supply you with the greatest possibility to catch a king salmon, and may also suggest the very best areas to achieve your goal.


I am getting excited about my Alaska salmon fishing experience next year. I’ve recently purchased a pair of rubber footwear to help keep my feet free of moisture, a comfortable jacket, and I also now have a new waterproof camera to shoot loads of snap shots of my prize winning catch.
