Planning an unforgettable Alaskan fishing getaway to Southeast Alaska’s coastal wilderness, Anglers Adventures & Outfitters offers a guided fishing charter in Ketchikan that will elevate your vacation in every way. Nestled along the renowned Tongass Narrows, Ketchikan is a gateway to world class marine wildlife and sportfishing. Humpback whales, sea lions, bald eagles, and salmon in abundance populate these waters. As an angler, you’ll find a defining contrast between the familiar freshwater pursuits and the saltwater bounty of king salmon, halibut, rockfish, and black & grey cod.
About Your Guide: Captain Brian Ringeisen
Captain Brian brings 31 years of guiding experience, backed by a U.S. Coast Guard license obtained at just 19, plus CPR, First Aid, and full vessel insurance. Born and raised in Alaska, he knows southeast Alaska’s waterways like the back of his hand. One guest recounted, “He knows where to go to catch quantity and quality fish… made them feel like pros”. Whether you’re a total novice or a seasoned fisherman, you will learn from the best.
Your fishing home away from home is the F/V Sierra Dawn, a 28 foot Bayliner Trophy equipped with twin 250 hp Hondas, electronics including chart plotter and depth sounder, 4 Scotty electric downriggers, rod holders, and a heated cabin with private bathroom. Reeling in trophy salmon or halibut is a lot more enjoyable when you’re comfortable and warm.
