Come fish the Salmon Capital of the world!

There's a fish with your name on it in Ketchikan and Campbells Fishing Charters will help you catch it! A lifelong resident and having over 40 years of fishing experience in the Ketchikan area, Captain Cable (Clyde Campbell) can help you find some fish.

Species like Chinook Salmon, Chum Salmon, Pink Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, Coho Salmon, Salmon, Lingcod, Black Rockfish, Rockfish, Cod, and more inhabit these waters, depending on the season. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Families who love fishing together will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are never a bad idea to stay fueled throughout your trip!

You'll step aboard a 27' Sea Sport with space for 6 passengers. It has downriggers, all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels.

You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.

You can't go wrong when you bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks will be available for you. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

If you have any questions about fishing with Campbells Fishing Charters, feel free to send Capt. Cable a message down below.

Awesome Guide, Awesome Experience
4 Hour Trip – Salmon on July 25, 20255 adults1 child

Cannot recommend Cable enough for booking a fishing charter out of Ketchikan. From the initial booking to the last minute of stepping off his boat, it was one of the easiest and best experiences with a fishing guide we’ve ever had. Very responsive in his initial communications all the way up until we got off the ship and on to the boat. An amazing guide that put us on our limit of fish in only 4 hours for 6 people. Caught so many we had to release some. Will be back next year, and we’ll be booking him well in advance to make sure we lock him in. If he’s available, book him. He was born and raised in Ketchikan and knows everything about every part of the water. Support local and support small business!!

Mark thanks for the nice review. I look forward to fishing with you all again! Cable
