First, Baranof is, to my knowledge, the only charter company in Ketchikan that will accommodate a single fisherman. So, a big thanks to them for that...Now about the fishing... Was met at the cruise ship dock by Matt C., skipper and guide. Escorted me to the Baranof site, maybe a five minute walk. Easy Peasy. Took care of license purchase and got fitted for boots and “ overalls. “ Easy Peasy. Proceeded to a beautifully fitted out fishing boat and was introduced to state of the art tackle. Boat was immaculate and tackle was top notch. Very Happy. Within twenty minutes we were on salmon...Pinks and Silvers and, yes, I caught several nice fish. Point to be made here is that Matt’s knowledge and enthusiasm made this possible. Great guy ! Fished for salmon and did well. Then went on a hunt for Halibut... Worked very hard to catch one but, alas, while they were biting nicely several hours earlier, they quieted down and took an afternoon siesta. No luck. ( That’s why they call it Fishing and not Catching )... Matt turned himself inside out to make this and every other part of my six hour trip fun, educational and successful. It was a remarkable day on the water in mind-blowingly beautiful surroundings with a terrific guy working for a professional, first class company. Baranof Fishing Excursions, their employees and their boats and equipment get “ Tens “ across the board, even though Trip Advisors rating system goes to Five Stars. Super experience that I’ll never forget. And, not for nothing, it was very reasonably priced. One more thing. The fish processing and shipping is seamless and very reasonably. So...call Baranof and go fishing with them.
