slugo Posted February 23, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2018 i am in my mid 50's and will be celebrating my 30th anniversary via a cruise. June 25th from 11 a.m to 10 p.m in Juneau, June 26 from 6 a.m. to 8:15 p.m. In Skagway, and June 28 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. In Ketchikan. I love to fish and am looking for recommendations of which one of these places to fish at and what to fish for. I am thinking that this is a good time of the year for king salmon, but not sure on that. A charter service would be fine, but going out on my own and driving somewhere or fishing off a dock also appeals to me. I do a lot of large mouth bass fishing and wonder if I can bring my own poles or should I look to rent. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

wolfie11 Posted February 23, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 23, 2018 June 25 is early for salmon, but there should be some kings around. Your best bet is a charter. My favorite excursion in Ketchikan is one where you go bottom fishing for halibut, cod, rockfish, etc. and then go to a beach where your catch is prepared and served for lunch. A king salmon charter in Juneau is also good. You go out of Auke bay and troll for salmon. You will likely see whales as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted February 25, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 25, 2018 We have had good success in Ketchikan. As mentioned still early but nevertheless a fun experience. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTJtraveller Posted February 25, 2018 #4 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Good place to start: http://www.adfg.alaska.gov/index.cfm?adfg=fishregulations.sport We went to AK a number of years ago, husband fished the Kenai with a guide. Only a certain number of “stamps” are issued and the fishing regulations are pretty stiff. Good luck, he caught a King, had it dressed and sent home, best summer of salmon eating ever.
