September 2019 Ketchikan fishing report

Wow! These fall coho are huge!! We’ve caught a lot of fish ranging from 10 to 20 pounds on the upper end. September coho (silver salmon) are my personal second favorite to fish. They are hard fighting acrobatic fish. The halibut fishing in Ketchikan is still very strong this September. I’m fishing all the way through September and anticipate good fishing all the way through.

August 2019 Ketchikan fishing report

We couldn’t have asked for more consistent salmon and halibut fishing this August. The pink return was huge and steady the summer silvers started disappearing right as the fall run was starting so there was about a week lull on the silvers but the halibut stayed consistent and we had phenomenal weather to boot. It’s looking like the fall silver run is going to be really good as the cohos are huge!

Ketchikan fishing season

The first fishing trip of the season was nothing short of epic. A couple from Bozeman Montana were in Ketchikan for work and booked a full day charter. We dropped Dungeness crab and shrimp pots before anchoring for halibut. In just under an hour we had two nice halibut in the boat so we moved on to rockfish which also didn’t take much time. King Salmon are not open for retention yet but we decided we would make a pass or two and play catch and release. Sure enough boom a nice king hit and put up a great battle. Thinking the day couldn’t get much better we moved on to pulling crab pots. In the first two pots we already had their limit of crab so the next two pots were just fun to look at and count how many can fit in a pot. The very first shrimp pot was loaded and we met their limit. The next three pots were just as full what an epic first trip. I’ll see you guys back here in September for fall silvers!! The ketchikan fishing season is underway and looking great so far! If you’re looking for a fishing charter in Ketchikan Alaska give fish finder charters a call today!
