KETCHIKAN ALASKA
SALMON/HALIBUT FISHING PACKAGES
This outfitter consistently catches the biggest salmon and halibut in Ketchikan in both size and quantity every year.  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.  Normally everyone limits out on salmon and halibut daily.  They also fish for cod and chum salmon.  He finishes up early September.
