The Advantage of Local Expertise
Ketchikan is known as the Salmon Capital of the World for a reason. The nutrient-rich waters of the Inside Passage create prime habitat for:
- King (Chinook) Salmon
- Silver (Coho) Salmon
- Pink & Chum Salmon
- Pacific Halibut
- Lingcod & RockfishCrab & spot prawn shrimpPacific cod
But knowing where fish can be and knowing where they are are two different things.
Our captains track tides, bait movement, and seasonal migration patterns daily. That means more hook-ups, more action, and better chances at landing trophy fish.
