Ive been to Yakutat. Very beautiful place. Stayed at the Blue Heron Lodge with John Latham the owner. Did some salmon fishing in a fly in camp along the ocean. Trip of a lifetime.
Did you bring your own rod and reel if so what combo were you using ? What lb braid to leader and where all halibut caught on jigs thanks for info have my first trip planned in 2026
We brought gear for Salmon but not for halibut/boat. All the heavy gear was supplied by the boat, for the butts mostly bait fishing, lings jigs. You really don't need to bring any boat gear, they have plenty onboard that's matched for the job.
Heading to Yakutat next month for coho. We always stay at Leonard's. Always a great time 🎣
Enjoy and good luck!
Awesome! Life is Good! Happy Birthday.

We brought some salmon gear ago for the rivers, but all offshore gear was provided by the boat

Hey Jon shotgun looks crazy😮
It's a 4/10 with #7 bird shot. You really don't wanna have a 100lb have halibut flopping on the deck. This is a safer method
Stayed at Leonard’s many times love fishing Yakutat. How many boxes of fish did you guys take home? Great trip thanks for the video.
About two full boxes each, enough to please friends and family and have a bunch left for us :)
No place like here in Alaska! Simple!😉👍
You got that right! Glad you enjoyed the video
How deep were you fishing for those lingcod/halibut?
Pretty shallow, anywhere from 80 - 250 feet. Big halibut were caught shallower, lings deeper
Are you from oz?
Nope, originally UK
