Post by: singleshot12 on May 20, 2015, 01:01:12 PM: Anyone know of a good reputable and reasonable priced charter for kings and halibut out of Ketchikan AK?

And CP that is a good point.. I think the going rate for proccessing(flash frozen and vacumed sealed) is around 2 bucks a lb. And up to one 50 lb. box can be shipped as luggage :dunno:

You can go guided or go on your own, Jeff will tell you where to go to catch fish. We went on our own and caught our limit every day of silvers that ranged 10 to 18 pounds, I also caught a ling trolling. The boats you get are very nice, covered northriver's. I think he charges around 2,500 for a week of lodging with the boat included, the bait girl and guy will fillet your fish when you get back if you want or do it yourself. They pick you up at the airport and take you back. Each lodge has a bbq, is clean and you have a private dock. Classy guy and runs a great place, I hope to go back next year with my dad. Their number is 907-225-6700 and he has a website, just type in the name. Tell them Jerry Cella sent ya if you call, thanks. I get NO kick backs, I've only gone once. I just appreciate a good business now days!
