The water was like glass today and warmer weather. Even though it said light rain, we did not get any.

Absolutely When I bought my fishing license online I did not see that non-residents could not catch King salmon after July 7. Wasted money getting that permit. Oh well

Halibut and Cod catch was great! Only caught 1 salmon too small to keep but it was expected. Only a small area was open to salmon fishing, the full area does not open till later in June.

Great experience, be sure to layer up and take something for motion sickness as the smaller boat can be tossed around.

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.

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.

I know that the haul is usually much greater than we experienced but that's ok. That's how fishing goes. We appreciate that they tried by changing locations and rigs several times.

Chris was AWESOME!!! Great with the kids and really worked hard to make sure we had a good time. It wasn’t a good day for fishing - seas were rough and it was cold and rainy, but he made sure we could catch fish. I really appreciate his professionalism and hard work to make sure we caught fish and that our kids had a good time.

Plan for any weather…we had beautiful sunny weather, but the very next day was cold and drizzly all day! Trust your captain…I have deep-sea fished 16x and this guy was the best guide I’ve ever had. He really knows what he’s doing. Fish or not, have fun and enjoy the experience!
