    Had the opportunity to fish with Alex last week on a short cruise ship stop in Ketchikan. Our boat was only in town for 6.5 hours but we were able to still get a cab ride both directions right from the port and fished for 4 hours. I’d say by the time we got back to the boat we still had 45 minutes to spare before the all aboard call. Our family of 4 had a great experience and caught a wide variety of fish on our Halibut trip.
