Salmon Sharks are Alaska’s most powerful & unique game fish in many of the remote protected bays that Prince William Sound has to offer. Salmon Sharks are cousins of Great White & Mako Sharks & they follow the millions of wild salmon that return to the Sound each year to spawn.

Some fishing locations literally have hundreds of Sharks gorging on salmon near the surface; an incredible spectacle as these apex predators can launch themselves out of water while chasing salmon. Sharks typically range between 250-500 lbs. but can get nearly twice as big in size! Long grueling battles are the norm on these Sharks as they have been compared to the fight of giant Marlin. This sport fishery is still being pioneered & there are only a handful of boats in Alaska with the proper knowledge & gear to successfully charter for these Sharks. Salmon Shark fishing is truly an unforgettable Alaskan experience!
