Alaska Fishing Site

Being married to an Alaskan, I have the opportunity to visit Alaska every summer.  As an added bonus, my job allows me to work remotely from there for a few weeks.  There are many wonderful things about being in Alaska, but one of my favorites is the opportunity to go fishing in some of the most scenic places for the world's finest salmon.

One of the first lessons I've learned from my fishing experience is that the secret to fishing is to fish where the fish are.  The problem with that method is that you salmon travel constantly, so where they are changes.  So how does the anxious angler find out where the fish are?

I used to use the Alaska Outdoor Journal site to read fishing reports to see where people were catching fish.  Like thousands of other fishermen, I was saddened when the site closed its doors in January this year.  After doing some extensive searching, I couldn't find anyone else who filled that void.  Since I have an background in IT, I thought, why shouldn't I build a page for people to submit fishing reports.

The solution was to create the Alaska Fishing Journal.  I am working on creating up to date charts and numbers from the Fish and Game fish counts.  I am also working on creating an easy way to submit fishing reports so that as a community we can all find out where the fish are.

In order for the site to be successful, it will take a community of people who love fishing contributing their reports, pictures, recipes, and even posts with fishing tips.  If you would like to help with any of this, please drop me a line at alaskafishingjournal@outlook.com.   You can also find us on Facebook.
