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 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!!

My husband said it was the best charter he had ever been on. Caught a king salmon and 10+ mix of pinks and cod Captain Cable sent us the licensing info needed at booking, picked us up where we docked, had the forms for processing and dropped our loot off for processing. Fish were shipped home to us. First class experience. Cannot recommend enough!

Cable did a great job getting us on fish and keeping us on fish! It was my wife and I and three teenagers. We caught a variety of species, including some beautiful kings and halibut.

6 Hour Trip – Salmon on June 24, 20253 adults1 child
Cable was great. We struggled with the Orca all day but we originally scheduled a 6hr day with Cable and he made sure every minute was worth it. Finally it was my choice to give in to nature. We caught fish and got to take home fish. I would like to plan another trip in the future.
