Ketchikan, Alaska Fish Finder Charters

Self Guided Fishing

If you want to make your own adventure in Alaska a great way to do it is to rent a boat and do it your way. Wether it’s going out fishing, chasing big king Salmon, having a blast catching acrobatic coho Salmon, pink Salmon, chinook Salmon, sockeye Salmon, chum Salmon, silver Salmon, searching for the monster halibut , dropping crab pots, or just cruising the coast line you can do whatever you want. Not everybody likes a fully guided fishing trip so we are now offering a 22 foot hewes craft powered with a brand new 200 hp Yamaha Outboard and 8hp Yamaha kicker for rent. The boat is equipped with 2 penn down riggers, a Salmon net, gaff hooks. It also has a full GPS /chart plotter system, and depth finder to help you find your halibut holes and staying on the bait when pursuing all 5 species of pacific Salmon. Also included is ample safety gear which is in accordance with US coast guard safety equipment, a vhf radio, and life jackets.

Another option is to do a couple days of fully guided fishing to learn the waters and then go at it your self for a few days!

Halibut and Salmon rods are available to rent along with crab pots and shrimp pots.

The boat will be full of fuel when you get it and must be returned full of fuel as it is not included in the price of the boat rental.
