King-sized great times! - An excellent day hunting for Kings! This was my first time fishing Alaskan waters though I'm a long-time fisherman. I had an excellent experience! The boat, electronics and tackle are all top-notch in quality so clearly this outfit knows what they are doing. As this was my first time, I was pleasantly surprised with the picturesque scenery all around me. The view was simply amazing; you can easily lose track of time just staring at the beautiful display of nature all around you. Captain Chris wasted no time to get us on fish! We hit several his favorite spots and I was able to land a few silvers and a pink. We tangled with several Kings of appreciable size but I wasn't able to get them into the boat. Then just shortly before calling it for the day, I hooked into a very large King and this time with Chris' expert help and guidance I was able to get him into the boat. Score! All in all I had a fantastic time and will definitely be a repeat customer, Thanks to Captain Mike for running a great outfit and especially Captain Chris for showing me a great time.

Great day fishing with Capt. Ryan! - It was a fantastic charter with Capt. Ryan! He found us a great spot not too far out and we caught just the right amount of fish and had fun doing it. He even took care of sending it to the processor so it will be sent home! We would do this charter again for sure.

Favorite day of our cruise - Did this while stopping in Ketchikan on our Alaska Cruise. Port time was short but they were accommodating and got us back in time. We had a group of 6 ages ranging from 11-47 and we all had a blast! We didn't have any experience but Captain Mike was awesome at helping us. Would highly recommend!

14 keepers! - We had the best experience with Captain Mike! He met us at the dock, and took us straight out to fish. We had a great time listening to his stories and watching him work! We caught 7 silver and 7 pink + 5 kings that were a little small to keep so we threw them back. When we got back to the cruise we were talking with others and several caught 1 or 2 fish with their chargers and some didn’t catch at all. Bonus we saw a whale and a few bald eagles. All in all a great experience!!

Salmon Fishing experience. 10.0 Rating!!! - Captain Ryan created the best fishing experience we could’ve asked for. Very attentive to our needs and answered all questions professionally and with some good humor, as all 6 of us had a BLAST!! It was his best Pink Salmon outing for all year. Can’t wait to sample our near limit catch. Thanks Ryan for a lifetime of memories!!!

Fish ON! - A great time salmon fishing with Capt Mike! Professional, friendly, and definitely knows what he's doing (we limited out in less than 3 hours). Nice boat, very well-kept. An overall fantastic experience with The Alaska Catch!

Best Charter Around! - Our family did 2 boats on a half-day private salmon/halibut fishing trip. It was the best charter we’ve ever been on! Captain Joey was amazing! He put us right on the fish every time, setting us up for success and kept us smiling and laughing the whole time! We all caught several Salmon, Rockfish and Halibut. Lines were always in the water and our time flew by! We shipped home over 90 lbs of fish between our 2 boats/12 people. If you’re fishing in Ketchikan, these are your guys!
