“Amazing fishing experience! My son and I recently finished a stay at the Apex Lodge in Pelican Alaska. The operation was top of the line in all regards. We hit our limit on most days and hauled in halibut, Coho Salmon, black bass and some others as well! The staff is first rate! We worked with three different Captains during our stay, and all put us on the fish! Very professional crew that felt more like friends and family when we had to leave. The lodge staff was also amazing! First rate gourmet meals, taking care of washing clothes etc. the team here is one of the best I have encountered. Highly recommend this lodge, you will love it!”

“Alaska in May can be a little chilly if you have ever been there, but when you have as much fun as I did on this trip you don't remember the cool weather. I have been deep-sea fishing several times and this was my first trip to Pelican Alaska with Apex Lodge and Charters, and this was without a doubt, hands down the best chartered fishing trip I have been on. From the newer boats, high-end gear and some of the hardest working Captain's working their butt's off to make sure you catch fish. Thank you Captain Lee! The Lodge was beautiful and overlooking the bay with amazing views including watching whales in the evenings. Very helpful and attending staff with some of the best food that you could find in a high-end restaurant. If your looking for one of the best experiences you can have on a fishing trip, Apex Lodge and Charters is an easy recommendation from me!”

“After 13 consecutive years fishing in Alaska, we can't recommend Apex Lodge and Charter at Pelican, AK enough. Fishing as a husband and wife, we have fished the Kenia River 4 years, the Inside Passage 4 years, and the Pacific Ocean with Apex 5 years. With Apex, we've fished for Salmon, Halibut, Black Cod, Yellow Eye, Ling Cod, Short Raker, and Rock Fish. Our experienced Apex captains constantly work to provide excellent situational fishing experience and success. Were it possible, we would give Apex six stars, and will certainly be returning for years to come.“

“Best Alaska fishing. Great Lodge, Captains, Boats, Chef, and Staff. Unparalleled experience and hospitality. A real treat to be going back a fourth time in 2025.”

“We have fished with Apex for 4 summers now, and this organization is top-notch in every way. They create a unique experience in terms of the fishing, accommodations, food, transportation, and care for their guests. We always return home with an enormous haul of salmon and halibut (with some bonus black cod and rockfish as well.) Their lodge is located in a prime spot and has spectacular views; the rooms are very comfortable and have every necessary amenity. The meals and dining service are exceptional (I am an unapologetic food snob who is, admittedly, difficult to impress.... and I have been delighted with the quality and originality of the meals!) Ephraim, Shane, and their entire team work together to provide a memorable experience that surpasses every expectation; I wholeheartedly recommend Apex Lodge for anyone who is looking for a life-changing experience fishing in Alaska.”

“Apex Lodge was the site of my first ever visit to Alaska, and it won't be my last. From the start of the trip to the finish, every detail was covered. From deckhands to chef to captains, every member of the Apex team went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. When challenging weather conditions threatened our travel plans, they immediately pivoted and made contingency plans without even being asked. The food, service and fishing was outstanding, as was the camaraderie we built with each of the staff. For Apex, this isn't a business. This is a passion that happens to be a business. Hats off to you all!”
