After two days in Wrangell (picking up the grandkid, reprovisioning, etc.), we decided to check out a place we hadn't been before — Anita Bay. We recently got a tip from a local fisherman that Anita Bay was great for halibut, so off we went!

Anita Bay is south from Wrangell down Zimovia Strait, and the head of Anita Bay is just over 5 miles from the entrance! There were several gill net boats floating around inside when we arrived, waiting for an opening at noon. We anchored far in at the head in about 40 feet, past where any gill netters were waiting to set their nets. Tree-laden mountains surround the bay, but it's definitely not an intimate setting. There's room for plenty of boats, but it's a commitment to cruise all the way to the head.
