We were visiting for one day on a cruise. I had read some pretty bad reviews of the various fishing excursions offered by the cruiseline and I wasn’t interested in just going for a boat ride. I am glad I found Chris on my own. Communication was easy, he set up direct transport round trip from our cruise terminal and made sure we were back in time for departure.  We did a combo halibut / salmon trip. First fish was on before the second line was even in the water and the action continued.  Chris... More

We started off by telling Captain Chris that we wanted to change things up just a bit as King Salmon season was 2 days out.  Decided to do a little bottom fishing.  Capt wasn’t prepared for such but said we can make it work.  We did,  he took us out to catch some rockfish to use as bait.  We’ll,  after hitting the day limit of 3 halibut we moved on for a little sport fishing which we caught 2 King Salmon and one was about 32 inches long.  ALL THIS WAS DONE ON A 4 HOUR TRIP…Great captain,...

Capt Chris put us on the fish early.  We caught 11 fish (10 salmon and 1 rock fish) in our 4-hr tour.  The momentum was high until a large pod of Orca came through and pushed the salmon away. I can’t wait to get back up to Ketchikan.  When I do, I’m definitely calling Capt Chris.
