So people often ask me where to go fishing in Alaska and I often point them to Kodiak Island. The place is beautiful and you can have an amazing do-it-yourself adventure at a reasonable price by just renting a car, staying at a B&B (The absolute best: A Smiling Bear) and eating on the cheap (there’s Taco Bell, Safeway, etc).
The Kodiak road system takes you to some pretty epic fishing…fresh and surf…and through some awesome countryside. I’ve made a couple trips up there over the past few seasons and this is one from 2011 that I finally got to putting to video.
