Our 24-foot Cabin Cruisers are about saltwater fishing. Evolved over decades, they are safe and reliable. These boats can easily cruise at 30 knots to the fishing grounds, anchor or drift for halibut or troll at 2 knots for King Salmon, and pull up on a beach to enjoy a campfire on a wilderness shoreline.

Our skiffs are representative of the skiffs from which most Alaskan youths learned their maritime, fishing, and hunting skills while growing up. Safe, efficient, tough, and capable, these skiffs are not only good for fishing, but for exploring the innumerable, secluded beaches of Southeast Alaska.
Light Tackle
More experienced anglers are welcome to opt for light-tackle gear at no extra charge. Normally outfitted with sturdier poles to ensure I higher success rate of landing fish once hooked, Baranof provides lighter tackle for those that enjoy a more vigorous fight. Whichever tackle you prefer, your captain will instruct you in the fishing techniques, such as mooching and jigging, that we find the most successful around here.
Spin Casting
For some of us, real fishing is done with a spin-caster. Whether casting, trolling, mooching, etc. is the best method for killing salmon is the eternal question, but we've got the gear if you want to add your voice to that discussion.
Fishing for Black Cod
If the conditions are right, taking an hour to pull up some Black cod is well worth your time.
Highly dependent on sea and weather conditions, fishing for this delicacy can be a rewarding aside to your day of salmon or halibut fishing. Considered by some to be the best tasting fish they've ever had due to their high oil content, Black Cod are targeted up to 1,400' below the surface. Let us know if this is something you'd like to dedicate a little time to should conditions allow, and we'll bring along the electric reels.
Squid Jigging
If you'd like to dedicate some time to pulling up squid, either for the photos, story, or eating, we can make that happen. Local angler Will Hink will hop on board as a personal instructor to show you how it's done.
Squid fishing in Southeast is relatively new as far as sportfishing is concerned. With the limited timeframe guests usually have, most of the fishing is done targeting salmon or bottom species at depths squid aren't commonly found; at least not during daylight hours. William has caught squid fairly shallow (for them) during evening hours, but for a reasonable chance of success you're looking at fishing around 600'; twice as deep as those going for halibut. As such, some advance planning is required for squidding to ensure we've got the right tackle and enough line on the poles to find some Southeast cephalopods.
Beach Combing
You never know what the Pacific will wash ashore, so planning on an hour for lunch and treasure hunting can be an exciting addition to your day of fishing or sightseeing.
Whether it's a personal passion of yours, or you have some energetic youths that might benefit from some time running around a remote Alaskan strand, we can schedule a beach visit during your charter.
Crabbing or Shrimping
Spot shrimp and Dungeness crab are local favorites for those with the means of catching them. While shrimp tend to be fished deeper and commonly require a shrimp pot-puller, Dungies can be found shallow enough to require nothing more than some bait and a pot. The crab is delicious, but the spot shrimp are a bit of a delicacy compared to what many of us are used to. Found along the rocky bottom of Southeast, spot shrimp don't develop the "mud vein" that is indicative of other species found on primarily sedimentary ocean floors. Long story short, dropping a pot for either our cold-water shellfish is worth the time and effort.
