This trip puts a rod in every guest’s hand and gives you a crack at whatever species catch the scent trail your guide sets up on the bottom. This is an intimate fishing experience with 5 or 6 guests and a guide tucked into a hardtop aluminum cabin cruiser out on the halibut flats. Weather can be unpredictable, but a major advantage of fishing the Inside Passage is that there’s almost always a place we can hide behind an island, sheltering us from weather blowing in from the open sea. At our company, we don’t worry about fuel burn. We want our guides to go where guests have the best chance at the most active fishing. Compared to most half-day charters in Alaska, these trips will carry guests farther into more distant and productive waters. That means a better chance at the fish, more coastal scenery, and a better chance at spotting wildlife like whales, sea lions, and porpoises!

Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the Alaskan Halibut Fishing trip? Is it cold out there?

A: It's definitely a good idea to dress in layers! Even in summer, it can get chilly on the water. They provide rain jackets and bibs, but you might want to wear a thermal layer underneath, just in case. Don't forget a warm hat and gloves—your hands can get cold when you're reeling in those halibut!

Q: Can I reschedule if the weather looks bad for our fishing trip?

A: Yes, you can usually reschedule if the weather conditions aren't safe. The guides are super experienced and will prioritize safety. Just make sure to call as soon as you know you need to change your plans. They’ve got a pretty flexible policy for bad weather days.

Q: Is this trip suitable for kids? What's the age limit?

A: Absolutely! Kids are welcome on the trip, and it's a fantastic way to introduce them to fishing. There’s no strict age limit, but younger kids will need to be supervised closely. It’s a great family bonding experience, just make sure they’re ready for the chill and potential motion sickness!

Thinking of gifting the Alaskan Halibut Fishing experience!

Hey everyone! I’m considering getting this fishing trip for my brother's birthday. It’s in Ketchikan and seems super fun! I love that it’s a small group experience; he’s gonna geek out over that. Has anyone tried this? What were your thoughts on the guides and overall vibe? Is it as good as it sounds?

Caught a massive halibut on the Alaskan fishing trip!

Just got back from the halibut fishing trip in Ketchikan, and wow, what an experience! We had a great guide who took us to some awesome spots. I’ve never caught anything like a 50-pound halibut before! The weather held up, and we even spotted some sea lions. If you’re thinking about it, do it! Totally worth it!
