Hello all. I am beginning my research for a king salmon fishing trip for me, my dad, and my son for his graduation in 2019. We would like an all inclusive thing...food, lodging, tackle, guide, etc. any recommendations from you guys to check out? Top outfitters? Best time of year?
 
You can check these guys out. I have been to this camp as a guest and had a great time and caught some beautiful fish. Pretty nice as far as fish camps go. The Nushagak is beautiful, with lots of wildlife and its pretty cool flying in on that old Grummond Goose circa 1940's.

if you want giant kings you probably should go to a river that is known for them and fish the run. Your other choice is off the coast, in which case you would likely catch kings, coho, and halibut, oh, and the best eating of the group, rock fish. But, kings are nomadic off the coast and can come and go, weather can influence how enjoyable it is as well. Do you know which you you want to do between the two?

I have set net fished near the Kenai and caught a 62 pound king that was on its way to that river. Amazing fish.

I have a friend that runs the boat for Dove Island by Sitka (Eric). It is a high end outfit, does stream fishing but i think specializes in off the coast.

Elfin Cove is an amazing little place that has some outfitters, also big water fishing. I have no experience with the outfitters, but Elfin is an enchanting place and worth seeing. Float plane in. Look it up.

Update, hitting refresh fixed the issue. Sorry to stink up your post Marley.
 
Do you want to fish in the ocean or river.Fishon charters in kenai Alaska does both. Gary Kernan catches as many big fish as anyone on the river. Has accomadations and has access to many different ocean charters halibut,ling cod salmon etc.He also has access to fly out charters. Look at his website.Ron
