Andrew Lester - Andrew Lester was amazing and the best part of the experience! It was not only fun but absolutely rewarding. Some of the best salmon and halibut!

Great job Capt Andy! - Captain Andy Thurman did a great job and made our trip a delight. Capt Andy’s quips and jovial style was welcoming and made for an awesome interactive excursion. After an hour trip out 30 nautical miles, Capt Andy anchored at a spot with a depth of 280’ and we were reeling in fish within 15 minutes. My whole group caught halibut and cod. What a wonderful time and I would highly recommend this trip. With fishing, as with hunting, nothing is ever guaranteed, but just being out on the water in Alaska, surrounded by islands, water fowl, spotting dolphins and a surprise visit from a whale, makes this a special excursion worth your time and expense to enjoy with family and friends. And yes, catching fish is the bonus! Enjoy the smoked salmon dip on the trip back and reminisce on the time you had on the water. Cheers and I’m hoping to be back soon!

Gorgeous Day on the Water - What a beautiful day on the water with our great guide Andy! It was past the salmon spawn so we switched things up and started going after Halibut. 10 min left, clock was ticking and my wife and I both land keepers. Andy Thurman was a phenomenal guide and would highly recommend him if you get the chance! Local to Ketchikan, he loves what he does and was great company!

Trip of a lifetime - We were very fortunate fist to have good weather and second to have Captain Ryan. As the seas were flat he was able to get us over the fish immediately. I caught my 1st Halibut 60 seconds in and we limited in one hour. The then put us on salmon ad we were able to have good success there as well. Overall a great trip and one to be remembered for a lifetime

Family Fishing Fun - My entire family had an amazing time despite some rain and rough water. My wife and boys (16 + 12) came in with pretty limited fishing experience but Brant got them very comfortable and catching fish in no time - he was an amazing guide!

Great time spent fishing - Outstanding! I have been on many fishing charters in lots of places. Everything here was organized and professional. Captain Ryan was was fantastic. Put us on fish both days. One day cold and rainy and one sunny and clear. He knew where to go under both conditions. Very impressive. Totalled 69 fish!

2 days and tons of fish - Captain Ryan was great. On the first day, he put us right on the fish despite the nautical weather. Same for the 2nd day, but even more fish (and nicer weather)! Caught our limit of halibut, lots of salmon, and more lingcod than we know what to do with. This is our 2nd time fishing with Baranof in Ketchikan and we can’t imagine going on a fishing charter with anyone else.

Lots of Fish! - The over the phone booking was easy. Our guide was right on time to meet us from the cruise ship. Check in paperwork was smooth and quick. We left the dock as scheduled. The fishing boat was really nice, very well kept, and comfortable seating and weather protection. Our guide knew all the great spots. We had fish on our lines within a few minutes. The management staff provided great customer service. We also utilized the process and ship fish home feature.
