Fishing for Salmon

This Underfished Alaskan Hotspot Offers Unreal Fishing

Cross Sound is an enormous funnel at the west end of 40-mile-long Icy Strait near the Gulf of Alaska, leading to hundreds of famous fisheries in the southeast. From May to September, the three nearby towns of Elfin, Gustavus and Pelican live and breathe sport fishing. You will never find a better place to catch salmon, halibut, lingcod and rockfish.

Sailfish 320 CC

We Tested the Sailfish 320 CC for Fishability and Comfort

The 32-foot Sailfish Boats 320 center console is an innovative, wave-taming, state-of-the-art offshore fishing machine. For hardcore fishing days, there’s plenty of livewell capacity, deck space, storage and horsepower. And for those lazy days, a comfort package is perfect for lounging at the bow. Find out exactly what the 320 CC offers both anglers and family.

Satellite Data for Fishing

Use Satellite Data to Catch More Fish

Don’t waste your hard-earned gas money on an offshore trip by being unprepared. Sea-surface temperature breaks often indicate edges of converging currents, rips and color changes. High chlorophyll and plankton levels signal feeding stations for pelagics. And weed lines are sought-after structures, especially for mahi. Know exactly where these places are before leaving the dock.

Prep Your Boat for Travel

How to Prep Your Boat for a Trip

To help you decide what to take on your next fishing trip, we talked with a tournament traveling captain and charter guide. The gear you carry with you evolves based on trip duration, number of crew, boat size and travel distance. First aid, tools and spare parts, and basic cleaning supplies are at the top of the list.

App-Based Monitoring

Check on Your Boat When You Can’t Be There

App-based systems keep you connected and in control of your boat 24/7 from anywhere in the world. Boat monitoring and switching systems are a bit habit-forming — once you have a system and learn the benefits, you don’t want to be without it. The onboard devices are often compact and relatively affordable, and most systems use cellular signals.
