A First-Time Angler’s Guide to Jimmie Jack’s

When you stay at Jimmie Jack’s Alaska Fishing Lodge, you’ll be met with perfect accommodations, as well as plenty of opportunities for fishing. Each stay at Jimmie Jack’s will include fishing excursions, and you can choose between a stay at their Original Alaska Lodge or their Seascape Lodge. A stay here is sure to be an adventure and the vacation of a lifetime, but it won’t just be your average getaway. Here is everything you need to know before booking your stay with Jimmie Jack’s.

Learn About the Alaska Rockfish

Just like the lingcod, the Alaska rockfish is another under-the-radar species that Jimmie Jack’s Alaska Fishing Lodge has charters for. However, the Pacific rockfish is a popular fish in Asian and American cooking—and if you haven’t tried it, catching and eating it fresh is the best way to do it! Before you go out on Alaska rockfish charters, learn a little bit about the spiny carnivore, so you know what you’re getting into.

The Best Alaska Fishing Boats

Expert anglers know that depending on what species of fish you’re trying to catch, the types of fishing boats that you should use varies. The boat can be just as important in your success in catching the fish as the method you use and the time in the season that you go on your fishing trips.
