Returned for our 4th season with Captain Aaron, and the guy still hasn't missed. We pulled in a solid variety of fish, and true to form, Aaron made sure none of us went home empty-handed—or forced to buy grocery store salmon to save face. If you want an exceptional captain who actually delivers on getting you what you're after, Ketchikan Fishing Expeditions is the only call you need to make. We'll definitely be back for round five.
was my fourth time booking with Cpt Aaron, always book 3 day with him for each of my trips to Ketchikan, do a couple halibut day and one half day for salmon and always leave very satisfied, Aaron does a great job at hosting and has great customer service , make you feel like another friend on his boat and does a great job putting you on the fish and always ensure that you have a great time out on the water and on land, highly recommend booking with Aaron
we appreciatebyour great Review! Happy to hear you feel welcome on our boat and thrilled that you have chose us year over year! cant wait for 2027!
Every person in our family caught their halibut and plenty of cod. Captain A. Ramirez made the trip a complete success in both the fishing and the fun time had by all. He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He made us feel like family or close friends rather than a business transaction. It seemed we were always on the reel, laughing or a combination of the two. Would HIGHLY recommend him to everyone.
Chris you are the man! Thanks for the great review, I appreciate you taking the time to leave it. You guys were a blast on the boat, come back anytime so we can keep the fun times going!
We went out on the five hour trip to fish for halibut. Very nice boat. Aaron, the guide was great! Took us right to where the fish were. We caught our limit of halibut and some rock fish and cod.It was a great trip! Can’t wait to go again.
Thank you for the great review! im happy we were able to cross halibut off your guys list! i hope the silver salmon fishing was just as productive!
Our family of 5 had a great time in Ketchikan with Aaron on our four-hour fishing trip. He was fun and knowledgeable and knew where we could catch some salmon! We want to return soon and fish again . . . thanks Aaron!
John it was my pleasure buddy! Good luck this fall with the kids tags. hope to have you all out again!
