Some Fishing Charter Companies and other info

Some people go fishing off the beaches at Allison Point

(Plan to go just before the high tide - end of Dayville Road; but don't fish much longer as the rocks are sharp & slippery as the tide goes out. Don't hurt yourself)

or take a fishing charter ... Valdez Fishing Charter companies are well booked in advance, so the chances of getting a seat the night before, although not impossible, is difficult
