Hey all, wife and I will be visiting Seward later this month and want to spend a couple days getting coho from the shore. We’ll bring our own gear and have experience fishing coho from the shore in Valdez. Not asking for secret spots (though wouldn’t be opposed!), more asking about the general vibe. We’ll be throwing gear, but it looks like snagging is also allowed?
What’s the pressure like late August? Are we talking combat fishing? If so, are there areas that get especially crowded?
We can clean our own fish, but are there dudes at the cleaning stations who we can pay if we’re feeling lazy?
Assuming we catch plenty, can we score airplane fish boxes at a shop in town?
For anyone who has fished both Seward and Valdez shores for coho, any notable differences between the two?

Thanks!

We have plenty of neighborhood cats pass through the yard, but this little gal is new and seems kind of lost. Smaller, slight build, cream-colored with a darker face and tail. Wearing a collar, but I don’t see a number on it. Very affectionate.
If she’s just cruising, no problem! Just putting it out there in case someone’s looking.
High Point area.
