lol...the first time we drove to Alaska to fish...no plans...just seat of our pants type fishing....and of course, we knew nothing about where to fish or what equipment to bring....so we packed up our heavy duty rods and went...
we ended up fishing right in Ship Canel.....all day and all night people were there...families...couples..
each person had about 6 feet to themselves...you basically threw your bait in a few feet to your left, and the current would take it down the river a few yards and then you had to retrieve it and slap it down into the water again...
believe it or not....it was the MOST fun ....people were happy...people caught big fish....myself, a nice 35 pounder which strangers had to help me pull in because hubby was trying his luck on the other side of the river....
occassionally you would see the real fishermen..the natives mostly...go out in their waders and fight a big fish 100yards or so down the river...just amazing...
this was basically in downtown Anchorage......
Oh yeah, thats Ship Creek just right next to the railroad yard. And the tide is almost 30’ there, second highest in the world. Mud, mud and more silt mud. But yes it is fun! I have fished there many a time.
