I started commercial fishing with my dad when I was a child. I then changed over to become a female fishing captain, owning my own boat, in southeast Alaska. I do this all for the love of catching fish!

    Sandra was great and gave us a special treat when she whistled and an eagle came out of the trees for a frozen fish above the boat!

    Captain Sandy made the trip very enjoyable. She was fun to talk to and worked hard to put us on fish. We talked to a lot of people on the cruise afterwards who didnt catch anything on their fancier boats and commented on seeing our boat reeling them in since we were all trolling in the same area. Several of them never even touched a rod the whole day. Highly recommend!

    Reported catch:
    Pink Salmon

    Great charter with Captain Sandra

    Half Day Trip (AM) Shared • 4 adults

    The charter was great from start to finish. Captain Sandra found the fish and the fun started. Caught a lot of salmon and Captain Sandra took care of getting the fish processed and shipped. Definitely would book her again!

What's biting with Chick Charters in Ketchikan

September is one of the best months for Silver Salmon in Ketchikan, and there are still plenty of Kings around, too. It's also the tail end of Halibut high season, making it a great time to visit.
