Alaska Vacation / fishing trip

[bpeay4]

Family wants to vacation in Alaska next summer sometime between June and August. Plan would be to stay at an Airbnb or similar and book 1 or 2 days with a fishing charter and then other sightseeing/touristy activities the rest of the time.

Mostly just trying to narrow down a general location that would allow for good fishing and also some good sights and or activities so that everyone in the family is happy (not everyone is crazy about fishing). Not much preference on the fishing but seems like a day of halibut/rock fish and then a day of salmon would be perfect. We are considering the Homer/Kenai area or more SE like Ketchikan or Juneau.

If you've done a similar trip with some fishing and some touristy activities mixed in I'd love to hear your experience or suggestions on which part of Alaska would fit the bill.

I would suggest Valdez in August. Lots of fishing opportunity for charters or just fishing from shoreline. Salmon Gulch Hatchery is real neat to visit with all the Pinks returning to Hatchery. May get to see a bear or lots of sea lions there.
Beautiful scenery. Whale watching opportunities. Beautiful water falls just up the road and glacier opportunities from Valdez. Good food around too.
