Located in Southeast Alaska on the Inside Passage, Petersburg offers some of the best sport fishing for Salmon and Halibut anywhere in Alaska! We do our fishing in the protected bays, sounds and straits around Petersburg in calm inside waters that are a safe, comfortable experience for the serious fisherman, or the less practiced family group.
