Review of Ketchikan salmon and halibut fishing, with boat details, pricing, catches, weather tips, licenses, and advice on who should book.

“This trip was a disaster from the beginning. Captain Tim was expecting 3 not 4 people in our confirmed reservation. He was prepared to take us on a 6 hour halibut trip instead of the 4 hour salmon trip we had booked. Tim attempted to take us 4-5 miles off shore, but the seas were VERY rough and he kept saying, "I've never seen it like this before". Our boat was being tossed around to the point that I feared if it got much worse Tim would not be able to get us back safely. I asked to turn around and stay closer to the bay. With four lines in…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 60 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $379

Review of Anchorage’s 8-hour salmon fishing trip, with hotel pickup, gear, scenic rivers, beginner instruction, and fresh-caught salmon options.

“We fished at a river ~40min north of Anchorage. Did not have a single bite all day (no fish were caught by anyone in the group). Could have done the same thing for a fraction of the cost if I went to Walmart to buy a rod and drove up there. Ryan was a really nice guy, knew a lot, and in many ways can't control the fish biting or not. However, I wish there was another element to the activity to supplement that.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 49 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $750

Review of Ketchikan’s six-hour Alaska King Charter salmon trip, with private fishing, cruise pickup, costs, catches, and booking tips.

“We had Kevin as our captain, who was amazing and fully of local knowledge. When we started out a little slow due to the tidal waters going out, you could see his frustration to the slow start. We soon hauled in 10 Silver Salmon and 2 Rock Fish. We caught 2x that amount, but those Silver's are slippery! We also had a Bald Eagle flying no more than 10 feet off the deck of the boat. Incredible day on the water! Highly Recommend this outfit and ask for Kevin!! Stay away from the Cruise Line tours - book on your own for a personalized and more exciting experience!”
