Salmon Fishing

Nothing Beats Wild Caught Salmon and Now You Can Catch It Yourself. Salmon might be everywhere these days - on menus, in grocery stores, and in bistros - but what you're missing is the thrill of the chase and the unmatched flavor of wild caught fish.

Our Ketchikan salmon fishing charters put you right in the action, targeting King (Chinook), Silver (Coho), and other prized species in the waters that earned this town the title of Salmon Capital of the World. From the first strike to the final reel in, this is the kind of Alaska experience you’ll remember for a lifetime and taste long after.

Halibut Fishing

Hook Into a True Alaska Giant with Our Halibut Fishing Charters. The Pacific Halibut is the largest flatfish in the world and is prized for its sweet, delicate flavor. But don’t let its clean taste fool you. These fish are powerful, aggressive, and known for putting up a serious fight.

Halibut can grow to over 500 pounds, though most anglers land fish in the 30 to 60 pound range — still more than enough for a great meal and a story worth telling. If you’re ready for a challenge and a cooler full of premium fillets, our Ketchikan halibut fishing trips deliver.

What Our Customers Have to Say

"Stop looking elsewhere! I am the type of read all the reviews and the best deals before I spend my money. This trip is hands down blew every expectation I had out of the water! William (our captain) made our Alaska trip exceptional. He picked us ip 10 steps from the boat and whisked us away for the time of our lives! William took us directly to a spot where we couldn't even get our line all the way down before the fish were on our hook. And DON'T waste your money on the cruise ship excursions...William watches the time to make sure you are back on the boat while he takes your fish to be processed for you."

I had the pleasure of spending 2 days aboard Captain Williams boat. The boat was spacious and perfect for the 4 of us. Will was patient and took the time to educate us after we booted the first few fish day 1. A couple hours in we were pulling in salmon one after another. Day 2 started slow but Will assured us “Don’t worry, we’ll find them.” He didn’t disappoint with that promise. Another day coming back with full coolers. I recommend anyone traveling to Ketchikan to seek out this great Captain. Getting to know him over 2 days was one of the highlights of the trip."."
