What anglers said about fishing in Alaska

If fishing in April, an experienced and knowledgeable captain is a must, as well as patience! Also, if your not used to the cold, wear plenty of layers as it gets cold if it’s windy on the water. I also recommend rechargeable hand warmers (or disposable) because our fingers got really cold while reeling in the fish. My boyfriend borrowed mine several times to warm up his hands in between fish and said he will get some of his own next time.

Keep an eye on the weather, it was 1 foot swells maybe a little more, but totally worth it. The huge halibut may be in and they may not be. The day before it was super calm and the day after it was as well.

The fish weren't huge or plentiful but the scenery and wildlife more than made up the deficit. Loved it!

First timers- fish between the first of June and the end of August for the best chance at filling up your fish boxes. September does provide some Coho and Halibut still. Fished 09/14/24 and the Halibut bite was hot. Also picked up Black & Silver Rockfish and North Pacific Cod.

Dress warm and be flexible with your schedule, the weather can turn on a dime, especially on the water. Captain Jack will keep you safe, but it’s up to you to be prepared in case the weather gets cold or rainy.

Ketchikan is a great place to fish. There’s a lot of conflicting information on line as to when the best time of year is to go. Best time for King Salmon is June. August was still pretty good fishing, but all the Kings we caught had to go back, too small. The Coho were nice sized.

Be aware that a 3hr trip doesn't necessarily end up with an eatable catch. The crew made it fun.

On our half day charter, we rode 2 1/2 - 3 hours through choppy waters just to catch our limit of small Halibut and a few cod. The boat is small especially with 6 people, the captain and first mate. The boat did have a bathroom but it didn’t flush.
