The difficult decision after that is whether to fish for salmon halibut, lingcod, salmon shark or rockfish.

We can launch the kayaks and paddle through the fish and sea lions on the cape, or head for the beach and fly fish landlocked char in a lake. Beach combing on the oceans exposed beaches is always interesting. The options seem endless and decisions have to be made! The salmon fishing is best there in August, silvers, pinks and kings charge through the area. The salmon shark fishing is also best at that time as they follow the salmon. Every thing else is available all summer.

While you're out having fun we'll haul the crab pots and cook the crab. An "all you can eat" crab feed is not a problem. Anchoring by the cape or at the head of the bay to watch the wildlife, while enjoying the catch, are both great options. On day trips we like to return to Chignik as the sun is setting, providing photo opportunities and a chance to relax and take it all in. We see whales in good numbers on eighty percent of our trips to the "castle."

Castle Cape is a great day trip or overnight stay. The boat has five bunks and cooking facilities aboard, to enjoy all the area has to offer it is nice not to be too pressured to fit it all into a day. We are willing to customize the trip to fit your interests.
