Valdez Update - Shore Fishing

[bayman099]

Hi: I am coming down to Valdez weekend of June 17th for a couple halibut charters, hope the fishing will be good. I am doing two charters, but couple guys not going the second day, so is there any opportunity for any shore fishing this time of year......thanks for any responses.

I have not seen anyone shore fishing as none of the salmon have come. You might catch some P Cod off the city docks.

Shore fishing is typically pretty slow until the pinks come in. There are 16'(?) boats available to rent in Valdez. It can be fun to just cruise around the port if the weather's right. Shoup Glacier at the NW corner of the port can be a "cool" destination. Watch out for the afternoon winds though.
