What to do and see in Sitka, Alaska (AK): The Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers

May 7, 2022 Janean Rudisill

The city of Sitka, located on Baranof Island along the Alaska Panhandle, was once the capital of Russian America. Nearby Sitka National Historical Park was established to commemorate the Battle of Sitka in 1804, the last major conflict between Europeans and the native Alaskans. The park now helps preserve the culture of the Tlingit people, as well as the Russian and American settlers, with collections of rare artifacts, the preserved remains of the Tlingit fort and a Russian Bishop's House.

We spent a week in Sitka and fished 4 days with Tad. Everyday was an adventure and incredible experience. We caught more 5-10 lb silvers than you can imagine. Some days we even gave up counting. Tad is a fantastic captain and guide. If you are looking for a great fishing adventure in Sitka give Tad a call.

My friends and I have been fishing with Mike, Paul, and whomever might be driving the third boat. I have fished on all three boats. The least amount of fish I have ever come back with is 50 lbs. that was on a one day trip. the most was 125 lbs. on a three day trip. They always fined the fish. The lodge has a great view of the bay, is comfortable, and quiet. Great for sleeping after a day on the water. You cook your own dinners, or go downtown and enjoy some good eating establishments. Big and well furnished kitchen, with a BBQ on the deck. We took all three boats this year over the 4th of July, for 3-days fishing. Mostly White Pass Ski Patrol folks, we had a great time and fun competition between boats.We limited everyday with kings and halibut. A few of us will be going back around Labor Day. Thanks Mike, Paul, Kaylen, Johnny, Kaz, and Kelsey. Great job done by all!!!
