FISHING PACKAGES
A couple advantages about this operation it is
only a 90 minute flight from Seattle and this outfitter consistently
catches the biggest salmon and halibut in Ketchikan in both size and
quantity every year. Last year everyone limited out every day on
halibut, lingcod and snapper. Each fisherman took home about 150
pounds of fillets for his 3-day trip. He takes 4 to 6 fishermen on
his 30-foot boat with twin 250 Yamaha motors. The best fishing is
June 20 to mid-August. Kings come in first and about July 4
silvers and some pink show up and by July 15 the kings are tapering off
and the silver and pink fishing is best. Halibut fishing is always
good. Average halibut are 15 to 25 pound fish and he also fishes
other areas where the numbers are less, but size will average 40 to 60
pounds with the occasional monster. Depending on the fishermen for
halibut he can go for large fish or large numbers. They also fish for
cod and chum salmon. He finishes up early September.
