Reportes de Pesca Alaska Fresca

It's been a late year. Usually we have over 25 fish landed by now. But we finally got 1 on the boat this season.

The 2026 season is officially underway, and Southeast Alaska made sure to give us a classic, rainy Ketchikan welcome for our very first charter of the year on May 21st! We had an incredible crew on board for a truly special trip—three generations of family fishing together, including a grandfather, father, and an awesome 7-year-old angler who showed us how it’s done. Even with the gray skies and a bit of wind, this crew didn’t skip a beat. We definitely had to work for them, but we managed to find the fish and safely released 16 different Rockfish using our conservation release device! To cap off a perfect day, we even got some spectacular eagle action right by the boat to finish the trip in true Alaskan style. Huge thanks to this awesome family for kicking off our season with the best energy.

If you’ve been thinking about fishing in Ketchikan, let me tell you—you picked the right time, and you’re looking in the right place. This is Lukas Brickweg with Ketchikan’s Finest Fishing Charters, and the bite right now is exactly what we wait all year for. We’re seeing strong numbers of king salmon pushing through, with consistent action on the troll. Early mornings have been especially productive, with fish staging in all the usual lanes and a few surprises showing up where you might not expect them. If you like that heavy rod bend and the sound of a reel getting tested, this is your window. The silver salmon are starting to show signs of life too, and once they fully arrive, it’s going to turn into fast-paced, high-energy fishing that’s perfect whether you’re experienced or brand new. Add in steady bottom fishing—halibut, rockfish, and lingcod—and you’ve got the kind of trip where every drop counts and every angler stays busy. Now, here’s the difference when you fish with us. At Ketchikan’s Finest, we don’t just run trips—we run targeted trips. We’re on the water every day, adjusting to tides, weather, and fish movement in real time. That means you’re not guessing where the fish are—you’re going where they are. Our boats are dialed in, our gear is top-tier, and we keep groups small so you’re not fighting for space or missing opportunities. Whether you want a relaxed day enjoying Alaska’s scenery or you’re here to fill the box and chase trophies, we tailor the trip to you. No cookie-cutter runs. No wasted time. And let’s be honest—anyone can take you fishing. Not everyone can put you on fish consistently while making it a trip you’ll actually remember. That’s what we do. So if you’re coming to Ketchikan and you want the full experience—productive water, professional guidance, and a crew that’s as invested in your catch as you are—book with Ketchikan’s Finest Fishing Charters. We’ll see you on the water. —Lukas
