Chum Fun Charters operates out of Juneau, Alaska, offering shore-based salmon experiences and convenient rod rentals tailored to visitors and locals. The company provides two primary options: a hands-on Salmon Shore Fishing experience that includes a visit to the Macauley Salmon Hatchery, and a Rod Rentals service supplying a complete gear set for 24 hours. Each offering is designed to make Alaskan salmon fishing accessible without large boats or long excursions.
Chum Fun Charters supplies quality equipment for the Rod Rentals option, with a fishing pole, tackle box, net, and pliers included, and lures available for purchase on arrival. The 24-hour rental format lets anglers explore favorite spots independently while relying on gear that is inspected and maintained for safety and performance.
The Salmon Shore Fishing experience focuses on education and success, pairing shore casting with a guided hatchery visit to explain salmon life cycles and local conservation practices. Participants can expect instruction on casting, bait selection, and safe handling of wild Alaskan salmon, along with opportunities to spot coastal wildlife.
Chum Fun Charters emphasizes clear booking information, visible pricing for add-ons such as lures, and local knowledge of tide and seasonal timing to increase the likelihood of catches. The operation follows local regulations and promotes responsible fishing practices. For travelers seeking straightforward, shore-based angling in Juneau, Chum Fun Charters delivers a practical, family-friendly way to fish Alaska’s famous salmon runs.
Booking details, seasonal availability, and gear condition checks are provided at reservation to ensure a smooth fishing day experience.
