Known for acrobatic fights and strong runs, especially late summer through fall.

 Found in rocky coastal structures and a favorite for anglers who enjoy variety.

Halibut

Giant bottom fish often exceeding 100 pounds, caught in deep waters off Kodiak’s coast.

Boats and Equipment

Fishing charters depart daily aboard safe, well-equipped boats built for comfort and performance. Each vessel is maintained to professional standards and stocked with high-quality rods, reels, and tackle.

The Complete Alaska Experience

While fishing is the focus, every day on Raspberry Island brings unexpected beauty. It’s not unusual to see whales breaching, sea lions sunning on the rocks, or bald eagles diving for their meals.

Our stay at Raspberry Island Lodge was nothing short of exceptional. There were four of us in our group, and from beginning to end, this was truly one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences that we will be talking about for years. The fishing was absolutely incredible. One of the highlights of our trip was an epic day of river fishing for silver salmon. We caught an abundance of beautiful silvers — it was easily one of the most exciting and memorable days of fishing any of us have ever experienced. Our days on the ocean were just as fantastic. We had tremendous success fishing for halibut, cod, and rockfish, and every day brought a new adventure. The scenery alone would have made the trip worthwhile, but combining the breathtaking beauty of Alaska with such phenomenal fishing made the entire experience extraordinary. What really sets Raspberry Island Lodge apart, though, is the people. The entire staff went above and beyond to make our stay special. Everyone was welcoming, hardworking, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in making sure we were having an amazing experience. There is a warmth and personal touch here that you simply don’t find everywhere. You arrive as guests, but you quickly feel like you’re being welcomed into something much more special. The lodge, the setting, the fishing, the wildlife, the scenery, the people — Raspberry Island Lodge delivered the Alaska experience we had dreamed about and then some. If you’re looking for a true Alaskan adventure with incredible fishing, spectacular surroundings, and a staff that makes the experience unforgettable, this is the place. Five stars simply don’t seem like enough. We would return to Raspberry Island Lodge in a heartbeat. Thank you to the entire team for giving the four of us memories that will last a lifetime!

This was my first trip to the Raspberry Island Lodge. It will not be my last. First and foremost, everyone that works here has been fabulous and friendly. From Nana and Mike, to the the captain and deckhand on my boat, Aiden and Broxton, Eric and Sydney, Kendra the master cook, Hunter, and every other individual that has continued to make this a memorable trip with my brother, thank you. The fishing and camaraderie has been fun and enjoyable.

I can truly tell you for years before I retired from everyday work that the top of my things to do bucket list, number one was to go on an Alaska Fishing trip. I choose a year ago to take this journey with this Raspberry Lodge. I can say my decision is one of the best decisions I've made. The friendliness, the organizing, timing and dedication towards the members are phemoninal. The fishing was everything I expected. I will make It a purpose to come back years to come.

Excellent staff, very friendly and accommodating. I really wish I had spent more time here and had more time to go exploring. We came to fish and that we did, but I would’ve liked to have had more time to enjoy that scenery and some hiking. Looking forward to another adventure to the Alaska.
