Our captain was Grayson and on the way out he asked what we wanted to catch, rather than just doing what he was “paid” to do. After we told him, he changed his plan and took us to another location to fish. He did an excellent job!

During trip prep ask for captain's advice about paying the extra for king salmon stamps on the Alaska fishing licenses. We didn't get the stamps (it wasn't prime king season) but nonetheless hooked a monster king that got away at the last second but had we landed it it would have been heartbreaking to not be able to keep it.

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.

Listening to the captain or deckhands directions. They know what they’re doing and you’ll have a great time.

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.
