Halibut Fishing in Ketchikan

The halibut fishing around Ketchikan in Southeast Alaska is phenomenal. Large tides, mass bait fish and huge schools of migrating salmon and cod provide an abundance of food for halibut to feed on.

We specialize in saltwater fishing for salmon and halibut in the protected waters of Southeast Alaska. We provide the gear, the fleet, and the local knowledge to ensure you have a successful Alaska fishing trip.
