Some advice I can give after trying the diy route out of Seward and Whittier is to bite the bullet and have someone show you where to go and what to use. I’ve wasted a lot of fuel and time trying to figure out how to fish here. I’ve got the rockfish down but salmon and halibut are still elusive. It’s fun to diy it but if you’re looking for a meat run then work with a guide. Watch the regulations too. We were stopped by the fish cops and every question they asked was calculated and asked in a way to try to get you. If you’re going for rockfish use a descender device and have it onboard. They will want to see that. Know your species and their respective limits. Just to scare you more there are stories here of people being in violation of limits or species violations and anything you used related to the violation can be confiscated. Rods, boats and trucks used to bring the boat there have been confiscated. Just be careful and do your homework.
