About us

Baranof was conceived by AJ and Chuck Slagle, while overnighting on the beach at Slate Island in the year 2000. Having grown-up hunting and fishing in Southeast Alaska and passionate about the multitude of wilderness experiences available they believed a family looking for the true Alaskan experience should be introduced to not only sport fishing but offered the simple Alaskan pleasures, especially eating a selection of fresh Alaskan seafood, beach combing, and the enjoyment of campfires on a remote Alaskan beach. The Slagle's believe a personal introduction to the southeast Alaska lifestyle is more than a box of fish.

What we'll do

Spend the day angling in the pristine Alaskan wilderness!

When you charter our 30 ft cabin cruiser, you get the complete package. The boat is the largest in our fleet, with two 225 horsepower engines that will power you swiftly from fishing spot to fishing spot. Not to mention the heated cabin and the private head that will give you the comforts of home. The benefit of having extra time on the water with 8 hours rather than 6 allows you to travel farther than the rest of the pack and get to untapped waters where you can catch more fish! This is a multi-species excursion; we mainly target halibut and salmon, but your guide is ready to pursue any species from jigging the kelp reefs for lingcod to dropping deep with electric reels for the buttery black cod it depends on where you want to focus. Another benefit of chartering our 30-footer is the ability to drop crab and shrimp pots. We feel your trip isn’t complete until we host you for dinner. Your captain will fillet a couple of your freshly caught fish and hand-deliver them to our chef, who will begin to prepare your dinner for later that evening. We put this trip together to give you the lodge feeling with the benefit of leaving from the heart of Ketchikan!
