We recommend that you check the tides when planning your vacation especially for your Alaska halibut charter or Razor clam digging (Home Page top left side). The smaller tide changes are preferable for halibut because there is less water movement allowing you to fish longer into the tide. A large tide change (Any tides with a minus in it) is best for Salmon fishing or Razor clamming, so more of the beach is exposed for digging. The peak of the fish runs can vary a little, but are a good guide to a sucessfull Alaska fishing trip. If interested in more Salmon run timing see Alaska dept. of Fish & Game website.
