About
The pinnacle of sport fishing is an all day, multi species fishing trip in southeast Alaska. Ketchikan has one of the most rich and diverse fisheries in the world, and this charter aims to show guests all the species and habitat variety there is. Halibut, salmon, lingcod, and rockfish will be targeted on this charter.
Speak with your captain beforehand about preferences and what species you would like to pursue! Most days begin with halibut fishing, then depending on the weather and tide we may switch to rockfish, long cod, or salmon. The beauty of this trip is the ability to change spots and tactics while still having the time to target everything!
