Our Ketchikan salmon fishing charters put you right in the action, targeting King (Chinook), Silver (Coho), and other prized species in the Salmon Capital of the World. From the power of a King to the fast strikes of a Silver, nothing matches the excitement of fish caught fresh from the cold Pacific.
The Pacific Halibut is the largest flatfish in the world, prized for its sweet, delicate flavor. These fish are powerful, aggressive, and will give even experienced anglers a fight to remember. Most guests reel in fish ranging from 30 to 60 pounds, perfect for great eating and unforgettable stories.
Ideal for cruise ship passengers or travelers with extra time. Each trip is customized to your interests. Your captain moves between fishing grounds throughout the day, trolling for salmon then dropping down for halibut. The most popular option for guests who want variety in their cooler.
