A dream fulfilled - Signed up for an excursion from a cruise ship and had the experience of a lifetime. Our guide Andy knew exactly where the fish would be and once we found them expertly coached us through how to know when they were biting and how to successfully reel them. We are extremely grateful for this authentic Alaskan experience.

Best fishing trips of my life. - I was planning a solo trip to Ketchikan to go fishing and saw on Baranofs website they took solo people and put them with others to fish. I booked for 2 days one Halibut trip and one Salmon trip. I had Captain Andrew Lester on both trips and was happy seeing I would be with him on the second one. He put us on the fish right away both days. There was 3 of us on Monday and 5 on Tuesday. Everyone caught a bunch of fish. Halibut, Cod, Rockfish. Pink and Silver Salmon plus some other fish that weren't good to eat we tossed back. The people I fished with were all great companions and we all had fun. If you are planning or thinking of going to Ketchikan and want to have a great fishing experience book with Baranof Fishing. You will have a great time.

Alaska Fishing - Danny was a brilliant captain and he did his best to find us some fish. Alas it didn't work out. Some brilliant stories from our captain and an exciting boat ride in rough condition. Would definitely do again.
