geosand Posted February 11, 2008 #1 Share Posted February 11, 2008 First time alaska cruise and am trying to get the shore excursions sorted out. Two in our group want to fish - which port would be the best option thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon Posted February 11, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Ketchikan is known as the “Salmon Capital of the World” - http://www.explorenorth.com/alaska/ketchikan-fishing.html for a Ketchikan fishing calendar and list of operators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sondrad Posted February 15, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'm sure either location would be great, but Ketchikan has the better reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnftexas Posted February 15, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I'm looking into the Salmon fishing in September. Do you have opinions or suggestions on arranging it through the cruise line (Celebrity) or going with an independent? From what I have found so far, it is a little cheaper with an independent boat but not so much that I would mess with it if there are a lot of minuses. Thanks!

Marie321 Posted February 15, 2008 #5 Share Posted February 15, 2008 We went with Ken of Northern Lights in Ketchikan. We went late July and that is when many salmon were running. I think September might be a little late for salmon. We had a wonderful time with Ken and had whales around us as we fished. We all caught our limit.

msmoger Posted February 15, 2008 #6 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Fishin is great out of both ports, we fished with Lucky Dog Adventure in Juneau and had a great time, saw more whales than wife did on her whale watching tour and caught a lot of fish. I personally don't care, but I've been reading the boards this afternoon and I have now noticed THREE posts by this individual who appears to be new to CC. All 3 posts have promoted this company. I don't remember reading about it previously (I certainly could be wrong). Seems a bit suspicious to me :rolleyes: . I apologize in advance if I'm totally off base.
