Why Cartwright Sound?
With the Japanese Current bringing nutrients over the Continental Shelf and all of the schools of bait fish surrounding the Islands, it's no wonder we have such an abundance of resident fish.
As a result, we offer much more than amazing Salmon Fishing. There are also Bottom Fish to be caught! When the water is flat and calm in the morning, fishing for Bottom Fish brings a lot of fun and excitement. Our targeted Bottom Fish are Halibut, Ling Cod and the numerous varieties of Rock Cod. Fishing for these species is a lot of fun – you just never know what will bite your hook next!
This is also a great way to add many more pounds of delicious white meat to the fish that you take home.
All summer long, the ocean is alive. Humpback Whales feed on Herring and Krill; Orcas feed on migrating Salmon; Seals and Sea Lions live in the Kelp beds offshore; Black Bears feed along the shorelines; and, of course – Eagles everywhere!
Imagine trying to observe all of this while fighting Ocean Fresh Powerful Salmon. It does sound like a dream, but it truly is a real place that you’ll never forget!
