Chum Fun Charters is Juneau’s only shore fishing charter! With them, you can forget about the sea-sickness 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 Mount Roberts Tram. They’ll drive you 3 miles North, where you will fish in the Gastineau Channel (saltwater). When you get to the Chum Fun 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 5 years old. If your kids are younger, they can come free of charge, only they won’t be fishing.

Chum Fun Charters welcomes you every day from June till late September. Spend an unforgettable day of fishing and try out a bit different way to reel in your trophy Salmon!
