The Patch ~ One of many memories at IslandView

When looking back at the 10+ years of fishing with Island View Charters, it is difficult to come up with only one memorable incident that stands out above all others. My time at IslandView includes countless memories that either took place while fishing or in the lodge. We have had fun at the expense of both The Island View crew, as well as ourselves, always kind-hearted and always in a way that makes me consider IslandView as our “Fishing Family” in Sitka.

From An Angler Who Has Fished 20 Years with Kevin and Guch

For almost 20 years, I have been fishing Sitka with close
personal friends and with Kevin & Guch, my very special friends. How do I describe one favorite event from all of those trips?

For me it is not about my individual experiences of catching king salmon over 50#s or 100+# halibut on salmon gear or we have six silvers on at the same time ( I think we call that Donkey Kong), giant lings off the Pinnacles or those days when it is raining sideways and you have to hang on with one hand while you fish and the bites are few and far between. The Orca pods, Grey whales and the sea birds all add to the experience. For me it is about the place and the experience.
