Fish for Halibut & Salmon in One Trip
Your excursion begins with bottom fishing for Pacific Halibut, Lingcod, Rockfish, and Pacific Cod. We use advanced deep-jigging techniques over sandy flats and reef structures to target these prized species.
Next, your captain will transition to trolling for all five species of wild Alaska salmon—King, Coho, Pink, Chum, and Sockeye. Our electric downriggers and multi-rod setups ensure maximum fishing potential.
Because conditions in Alaska change quickly, our captains adjust the strategy in real-time. That flexibility allows you to switch between species depending on tide, behavior, and location—keeping the experience fresh, dynamic, and productive.
Whether you’re chasing your first halibut or trying to land a King salmon, this trip delivers. Don’t settle for just one species—immerse yourself in the full spectrum of Alaskan fishing. Book your Ketchikan Salmon & Halibut Combo Excursion today and create unforgettable memories on the pristine waters of Southeast Alaska.

Ketchikan Salmon & Halibut Combo Excursion + Wildlife Viewing
Enhance your day on the water with unforgettable wildlife encounters. In addition to world-class fishing, our experienced captains set aside time to explore known wildlife hotspots around Ketchikan.
Watch for humpback whales breaching nearby or orcas gliding through the waves. You may see bald eagles soaring above, or harbor seals and sea lions lounging along the shoreline. With a bit of luck, you could even spot a black bear foraging on the beach or a Sitka black-tailed deer wandering near the water’s edge.
These scenic coastlines and rich marine ecosystems make your fishing trip more than just a charter—it’s a full Alaskan experience.
Our boats are conveniently located downtown, within walking distance of the cruise ship berths. We will meet you at your cruise ship exit ramp holding a sign with your name. For guests already in town, we’ll arrange a meeting point near the downtown harbor.
