    FAQs

    Buy and carry a sport fishing license during your trip (printed or electronically signed). If you want to fish for and/or keep a king salmon while salmon fishing, you also need a king salmon stamp (when retention is open). Ages 15 and under do not need a license or stamp, but they still need a catch card (provided onboard).

    On Tuesdays from May 13 through Sept 9, do not retain halibut unless you have a GAF permit; with a permit, you may retain a single halibut of any size per permit.

    You can request extended hours during the trip based on your group’s needs and the captain’s discretion. Extra time costs $200 per hour.

    Scott, Colby, and Cody have built something special here with their fishing operation in Ketchikan. These captains consistently get praised for their professionalism, fishing knowledge, and genuine enthusiasm on the water. Guests catch a wide variety of fish including salmon, halibut, rockfish, and even sharks, with several reviews mentioning they limited out on multiple species. The boats are clean and well-maintained, equipment is top-notch, and the captains handle everything efficiently even when managing multiple lines for larger groups. What really stands out is how personable these guides are. Multiple reviewers describe it as "fishing with friends and family," and they clearly go the extra mile with early starts, long days, and flexible service tailored to each group. They're excellent at teaching guests about the fish and local waters, making the experience educational alongside the excitement. Cruise ship passengers especially appreciate the seamless pickup and drop-off coordination. As a bonus, many groups spotted whales, orcas, and even bears during their trips, though the focus remains squarely on putting clients on fish in all weather conditions.
