Based on a recommendation by Orca Island Cabins, Scott heads out to sea with Semaka Charters on a hunt for halibut and other strange sea creatures. The journey begins in Seward Alaska where we meet with owner and captain Eric Clock and his daughter Anne.

Everyone had an amazing day of fishing and this day was absolutely stunning with sunny skies and glassy seas. Everyone caught something and some came close the 100 lbs mark! So get onboard the the Seafarer, where no bananas are allowed!

Special thanks

• Semaka Charters for  a wonderful fishing experience
• Guests who put up with our filming
• Job for roughing the open sea for 8 hours of sea sickness!

What is Alaska Outdoors Television?
ALASKA OUTDOORS TELEVISION (AKODTV), Alaska’s new premiere fishing, hunting and extreme outdoor recreational television series transports the viewer from outside the screen to inside the adventure through half hour programs.

Explore unscripted Alaskan adventure as hosted by professional guides and extreme Alaskan outdoor enthusiasts. From guided trips to unguided adventures, ALASKA OUTDOORS Television guides the viewer through exotic adventures to affordable weekend journeys.

About the shows
We’ve created a new “Outdoors” category under the Videos button for all the fishing, hunting and outdoors videos. AKODTV videos will be divided into two parts to reduce the download size.  Note: Some of the outdoors videos will include hunting, so if you are squeamish about that sort of thing you can always stay focused on the Hikes, Adventures and SanitySavers.

Alaska HDTV and AKODTV have created an alliance to develop an independent media group designed to leverage the talents, audiences and creative ability in an effort to rapidly expand Alaska independent productions.

Press Release
The official press release published September 21, 2009. (PDF/73K)

Join us on a two day adventure with Dennis and Susan Swiderski, owners of Orca Island Cabins. We journey to their private island located in Humpy Cove, which is a 40 minute boat ride from Seward out into Resurrection Bay. The scenery is epic and the time spent in the kayak was exhilarating.

I’ve traveled the lengths of Resurrection Bay many times in my life, but this adventure has changed my connection with the area significantly.  I’ve always loved Alaska’s coastal wilderness, habitats, wildlife, and sea life! The trip out with Susan and Dennis to their island, and the experience they offer, have yielded memories that will last me a lifetime.  It is truly an opportunity to get up close with this part of Alaska, and even better it’s right here in our backyard!

Enjoy the show!

Hey Everybody!

Had a great day in Seward exploring Resurrection Bay for Whales and other marine life with Renown Tours.

There’s a unwritten rule in Alaska – Sunshine equates to a slow day with marine wildlife, heck even fishing falls into that rule. Cloudy or rainy days in my experience often offer greater opportunities! Alaska’s wildlife is never predictable though, much like our States weather. This show just goes to show you a sunny day still offers plenty of the fun wild life of Alaska.

If you’re looking to escape Anchorage, why not head out into Resurrection Bay?

This trip was full of wildlife though, and we had a blast! I really want to send out a huge thanks to the Renown Tours staff whom hosted us on their boat! They totally fit the “Real People” vibe, which is the theme, culture, and experience in what we do.

Finally, this had to be one of the most enjoyable shows I’ve edited and produced for you all. I won’t get into the technical junk, but from every angle of this video I enjoyed working around it and can’t wait to apply what I learned from producing it!

Cheers and thanks for watching!
Scott
