Fishing for Days
The peeking sun splashes a ray of warmth onto your face , and you take a deep breath , filling your lungs with cool ocean air . Maybe it ’ s the tiny salt particles , or the fading of life ’ s daily distractions , but the air out here seems purer . Your captain slightly angles the boat to take the edge off a small approaching wave , but you hardly feel the turn .
His countless years of boating in Alaska allow him to navigate these waters with ease . Soon , you ’ ll set up shop in one of his favorite local fishing holes and hopefully hook your share of the ocean ’ s bounty . Though if today doesn ’ t fill your quota , you ’ ll have the next few days to try again . That ’ s the beauty of booking a multiday fishing charter in Sitka – you have the luxury of taking your time and enjoying the adventure .
