Hunting for halibut is a great way to do it outdoors. - Captain David was a great captain, guide and first mate all in one. We had a halibut cooked aboard the cruise ship. Might have been the best fish I’ve ever eaten.

Fishing Halibut in Ketchikan ***** 5 Star outfit and guide - We caught fish all day, the weather was great, the water was calm, the gear and boat were excellent, the guide knew what he was doing, the eagle sightings were a bonus, could not ask for more to make this trip special. Thanks to David Smithers our guide and Baranof Fishing Excursions. Your outfit and David made it a memorable day fishing. I can recommend this trip and this outfitter. Top notch gear and boat and they know where to go to get you on the fish. I would go every time I'm in Ketchikan! 5 star, no reservations about this outfit giving you the same experience that I had. We were on the water 5-22-2025 in the AM. Worth the money!

The Best Fishing Day of My Life – Thanks to Baranof and Pat! - I’m from Minnesota and have fished all over the country, in lakes, rivers, and oceans, so it means a lot when I say this was hands down the BEST fishing day of my life! My husband, daughter, and I each caught a massive halibut and dozens of gorgeous cod. I even caught two fish at once, on three different occasions ! I was literally jumping up and down with excitement. Our guide, Pat, was phenomenal. He had the inside scoop on the spot to fish, and once we were there, the action didn’t stop. I swear he must have had extra arms, he was baiting hooks, untangling my line (three times!), helping with every catch, and doing it all with the calm, skill, and humor of someone who truly loves what he does. He kept the cabin warm when we got chilly, and even brought delicious snacks, including some delicious salmon dip and crackers. Baranof Fishing Excursions made everything seamless. I called to book, got set up in minutes, and two days later we were picked up right at our cruise ship. The gear and outerwear were top-notch—clearly well-maintained and made for a great day on the water. If you're in Ketchikan and considering a fishing trip, look no further. Book with Baranof, and ask for Pat. He’s kind, funny, and absolutely masterful on the water. My only complaint? I may not be able to lift my arms tomorrow after reeling in that incredible haul! Thank you, Baranof and Pat, for a day I’ll never forget!

Halibut fishing - It was truly amazing day. Sun shining, low wind and very calm waves. Boat was like new. Our guide, Garrett McCleery, very courteous and professional. He took great care of us. Took us to a spot about 45 minutes out and literally, within 15 seconds of sending lines to the bottom, it was fish on. We estimate we caught and released well over 60 fish on our 4 hour trip. Highly recommend Garrett and Baranof Fishing Excursions.

Fishing review - Our guide Garrett was the best guide we could ask for. He put us on great fish and caught a limit within 20 minutes. Garrett made sure we had snacks and water as well as being very hospitable. I enjoyed talking with him not only about fishing but life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Wonderful Fishing Experience! - We booked this halibut fishing trip because it was our mother’s favorite experience during her trip to Alaska 15 years ago. Although the weather was truly against us, Captain Andrew Lester found us some fish and we had the experience of a lifetime! He was professional, kind, patient and exuded confidence from the start. Highly recommend.
