Salmon Fishing Charter
There’s nothing like the sound of a screaming reel and a bent-over rod as a King Salmon dives deeper, you’re hooked up! And from this point on, it’s likely your hooked on salmon fishing in Alaska. Our light tackle gear will give you the fight of a lifetime no matter what species of salmon is on the end of your line. In May/June we are typically targeting the King (Chinook) Salmon, the largest of all the salmon who put up quite the fight. During the months of July and August, our focus is likely to be the Coho (Silver) Salmon. These silver bullets are sure to put even the most experienced anglers to the test. Often darting rapidly and jumping out of the water, they never give up without a fun fight. It’s not uncommon to hook into two, three, or more simultaneously, creating what we like to call organized chaos. While hooking these Cohos may seem like the only task, getting these fish netted and into the boat before they shake your hook is an even greater challenge. And that’s how we troll, at 49th Fathom Charters.

Red (Sockeye) Salmon Guided Fishing Adventure
Red salmon or Sockeye is one of the most numerous species of salmon in streams and rivers of Alaska. Red salmon is by far the State of Alaska’s most valuable commercial salmon species, with millions of fish returning to Bristol Bay, the Copper River Basin, the Prince William Sound, Upper Cook Inlet, and the Kenai Peninsula. The sockeye salmon is a plankton feeder which is unlike the other Alaska salmon species and they are very passive toward lures. This salmon generally spends 2-3 years in the ocean before returning to their spawning waterways in large schools. The driving force that brings the sockeye salmon to migrate to its spawning bed is legendary. You need only watch them leap waterfalls and speed through fast currents to see the force and will to survive that the red salmon possesses. Pound for pound the sockeye is the strongest and most demanding sport fish in Alaska. The State of Alaska sportfishing record for this salmon is 16 pounds.

Anyone can put a line in the water, but it takes special skill to catch Alaskan salmon, halibut, and bottom fish. After spending most of their lives unraveling the mysteries of Alaska fishing, your experienced fishing guide is skilled at instructing you on the ins and outs of Southeast angling. What's more, they really enjoy spending the day teaching you what you need to know. As fishing conditions change throughout the season, and taking into account the day's tides and weather, this multi-species Alaskan fishing expedition allows you to head out with confidence that you will catch fish. Your captain will recommend those species that have been producing the most in recent weeks, and help determine a game plan for the day; salmon fishing with halibut as time allows, or vice versa. During the peak of the summer season from June 15th to August 15th at the height of the salmon run you will have the best chance at catching multiple species. * FISHING ITINERARIES: 1) If You Are Visiting Ketchikan By Cruise Ship: We suggest beginning the excursion thirty minutes after your ship is scheduled to arrive in Ketchikan. The following timeline is for a six-hour Ketchikan fishing adventure. - Meetup: Your guide, or one of our crew, will greet you at the pier and escort you to our downtown marina and outfitting room. Look for a sign with your tour name on it. - Outfitting & licensing: Upon arrival at our marina, your guide will collect the state fee for your fishing license. While we fill out your licensing information, you'll start to look like a local as we outfit you with waterproof boots, bib overalls, hooded jackets, hats, and gloves. Fully prepared, you'll head for the boat. - Running to the fishing grounds: Our location in the heart of Downtown Ketchikan allows for a short boat ride to the rich salmon fishing grounds south of Ketchikan. Depending on the area your guide chooses to fish the ride to your fishing area is 10 to 20 minutes from the marina. Our guides customize your journey depending on the season, tides, and weather conditions. During this ride guests frequently spy eagles, seals, whales, spawning salmon, and even black bears. You may take as many photographs as you wish, or simply sit back and soak it all in. - Fishing: On board our vessels designed and outfitted specifically for salmon fishing you will spend the next few hours trolling or mooching, or trolling for King, Coho, Pink Salmon, and halibut.

We suggest beginning your fishing trip before 10:00 a.m. The ardent fisherman normally leaves between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m. However, fishing is often better at tide change, so we will suggest the most opportune time for you to arrive at the fishing grounds so you can "catch the tide". The itinerary that we have provided is a one-day six hour trip. Most trips will differ only in the allotted time of fishing to fit your needs, and all trips can be duplicated for multiple-day trips. - Meetup: Guests normally meet their guides at the Alaska Fish House for a hot cup of coffee and a discussion of the day of fishing.

Once you’ve made your choice, we’ll run your fresh catch-up to our chefs in the Alaska Fish House. By the time, you’re done taking your raingear off, washing your hands, and getting back into your civilian clothes, we’ll have a private table ready for you in our rustic-style dining room, and an expertly prepared meal on its way. Once you’ve settled at your table, enjoy a cold, Alaskan-brewed Denali beer or a glass of wine to accompany your meal and give yourself the chance to relax into an authentic Southeast Alaskan dining experience. (If you'd like, we encourage you to invite your family members that you left in town, and share in your catch).

Most of us will be quick to tell you there is no meal better than the meal you share with friends and family after a long day out fishing. We doubt you’ll be surprised that here at Baranof Excursions we’re right in culinary step with any good Southeast Alaskan. With us, your fishing experience doesn’t stop after you’ve reeled in your catch.

We are experts and find enjoyment in taking your fresh fish, putting you in a unique environment, and opening the way for you to break bread with your friends and family.
Ketchikan Salmon Fishing
Spend the day Salmon fishing in the pristine Alaskan wilderness! This comprehensive fishing experience is intended for the avid fisherman who wants to learn the art of salmon fishing. Our private marina is located in downtown Ketchikan, so you'll have a full day to learn the best techniques for catching the Pacific salmon of Southeast Alaska. With this custom experience—limited to four guests at a time—every fisherman has the benefit of fishing their own rod. After a day of trolling, jigging, and mooching, you'll know the difference between a spoon and a hoochie, as well as the best way to catch whatever species is in season; typically king, coho, and/or pink salmon. Best of all, whatever you catch is yours to keep. In fact, our local processor will flash freeze it and send it straight to your door! The challenge with salmon fishing in Alaska is that it is completely reliant on the annual return of the salmon from the Gulf of Alaska to the inside waters. Accordingly, each of Alaska's five species of salmon has a limited number of days in which they are best available for exceptional fishing. Our Salmon Fishing excursion is based on the approach of local Alaskans. We leave the dock well informed as to what was working the day before to catch salmon: Where are they? How deep are they? What bait or flashers are working? Not only do we come fully prepared, we also have the time to pursue halibut and bottom fish if the bite is not on for salmon, or a particular group has limited-out. During the peak of the salmon run, from June 15th to August 15th, you will have the best chance of catching multiple species of salmon. After spending most of their lives unraveling the mysteries of salmon fishing, our fishing guides have the skills, knowledge, and equipment you will need to catch Alaska's salmon. Whether this is your first catch or one of many, your captain will make recommendations for your group as to what species and techniques are likely to prove successful on a given day. * FISHING ITINERARIES: 1) If You Are Visiting Ketchikan By Cruise Ship: We suggest beginning the excursion thirty minutes after your ship is scheduled to arrive in Ketchikan.

Halibut Fishing Charter
Hit the weight room lately? If not you may want to before dropping your line deep for this infamously large flat-bottom fish, the Pacific Halibut. These barn doors range between 10-400+ pounds. Every summer they rise from ocean depths of over 1,000 feet to as little as 50 feet in search of bait fish to feast on in our local waters. Once hooked, these strong swimmers can provide a great challenge as they fight you back to the bottom. Depending on where the halibut is, we typically fish in depths ranging from 100-400 feet. It’s also possible to pick up rockfish, cod, flounder, and other fun creatures while fishing at these depths. The regulations for the size and amount of halibut each person is allowed to retain on a charter change each year. Let us take you 49 Fathoms deep, just for the halibut.
Glacier Bay Remote Island River Fishing
We’ll be fishing a wild “last frontier” type area with no signs of civilization to be found. As we fish and hike along the river, you’ll be humbled by the mountains that rise up to form the river valley. The area is so remote that we almost never see any other anglers on this river. Brown bears, however, are plentiful and we will be keeping an eye out for them throughout the day. Depending on the time of year, we’ll fish for Salmon and/or Trout. Both fly rods and spinning rods will be available, as well as lessons for those new to fishing. *FAQ - Do I need a fishing license? Yes, if you’re age 16+. A 1 day (24 hr) license can be purchased online for $15. - What should I bring? Rain gear, water, snack/lunch, and a sense of adventure! - Do I need to tip my guide? Gratuity is greatly appreciated if you are satisfied with the service of your guide. Although it is customary to tip your guide, it is not required. We are often asked the size of a typical tip. An appropriate guideline is 15% of the cost of the trip. Feel free to alter this as you see fit. - Can we keep our catch? We highly encourage catch and release, but ultimately, the decision is up to the angler. We encourage catch and release for a number of reasons. For one, we don't want to attract bears while on the river. Additionally, Pink Salmon do not freeze very well- they are best eaten the day of. If the primary goal of your trip is to keep fish to take home, we suggest saltwater fishing instead of river fishing. Alternatively, you could book both saltwater and freshwater trips to get a taste of both worlds! *Minimum of 4 people for a trip to go. If less than 4 people sign up for departure, NatVentures will reach out with other tour options that day. *Maximum of 6 people. If your party is larger, please reach out; we may be able to accommodate with a second boat!

If the primary goal of your trip is to keep fish to take home, we suggest saltwater fishing instead of river fishing. Alternatively, you could book both saltwater and freshwater trips to get a taste of both worlds!
Available Timing
Half Day Fishing Excursion
Halibut, Lingcod, Rockfish, sharks and more are reeled up everyday on this trip based out Ketchikan Alaska! You start out the day with a fast ride out of port 15-20miles right through some of the richest whale watching grounds in South East Alaska to our fishing hot spots. We set anchor or slow drift with your fishing rod in hand- line over the side and down to the bottom of the ocean. We can finish the day with some salmon fishing instead of whales and nature if you prefer and time allows. *DEPARTURE TIME MAY VARY DEPENDING ON YOUR ITINERARY
