Booked with us before? You may qualify for a Loyalty Discount. Sign in to check.
Chum Fun Charters is Juneau's only shore fishing (land-based) charter! With them, you can forget about seasickness and weather-dependent trips. You'll enjoy your fishing adventure from a personal dock, targeting Salmon.
As there's no boat, the trip preparation goes a bit differently. Your guides, Michelle and Paul Turinsky will pick you up with their van at the Port of Juneau, at the base of Goldbelt Tram. They'll drive you 3 miles North, where you will fish in the Gastineau Channel (saltwater). When you get to the Alaskan Salmon Gear Shack, they will get your license and gear you up in rain tops, bottoms, and boots. After fishing is done, they will return you and your family and friends back to the Port of Juneau.
The fishing itself lasts for 2.5 hours, but there's more! The trip includes an intriguing 20-minute Salmon hatchery tour! Bring your snacks and drinks for the day. Your guides will cover fishing equipment.
Note that the cost of a fishing license is $25 per person and has to be paid in cash. Everyone over 16 years old needs one. Kids can fish only if they're over 7 years old. If your kids are younger, please call us. Starting this season, 2024, you will be expected to bring your printed fishing licenses.
Alaskan Salmon welcomes you every day from June till late September, rain or shine. We can and will fish under pretty much any weather conditions, and we provide rain gear (caps, bottoms, and boots). Spend an unforgettable day of fishing and try out a bit different way to reel in your trophy Salmon!

Half Day Trip – AM (Flexible Start) on July 10, 2025 • 5 adults • 3 childrenTook the kids to do some salmon fishing. Michelle was great in keeping in contact before the trip and answering all our questions. The crew the day of was great in teaching, educating and helping us fish.

Half Day Trip – AM (Flexible Start) on July 8, 2025 • 2 adultsOnly issue was the fact that it poured the whole time we were there. We weren't aware that Juneau doesn't get much sunlight! Great guide service and equipment with tour of the hatchery.

Richard King5.0VerifiedEasier than a boat
Half Day Trip – AM (Flexible Start) on July 17, 2025 • 2 adultsThis was a much easier alternative to getting on another boat. Caught tons of fish, had a great time. Our hosts were top notch. Will be back again
Michael Allen5.0VerifiedMorning trip with Paul, Noah, and Michelle
Half Day Trip – AM (Flexible Start) on July 8, 2022 • 2 adultsGreat time! My grandson (17) and I did the morning session. This was his first time to Alaska and first time salmon fishing. For three hours we had nothing (others around us were catching Chums and Kings). Just minutes before we left he laid into a 15 lb Chum. He was all smiles after that. Since our license was good for 24hrs, and we were staying in town overnight, Michelle and Paul told us to come back later afternoon or evening and they'll loan us rod and tackle (at no charge) to try our luck again. We did! Didn't catch anything but had fun fishing. Definitely a great charter to do from shore.
