Non Kayak related: Alaskan Fishing Trip from Cruise

[dbarnett66]

Hi guys,

We are headed up to Alaska on a cruise next summer at the end of June. From what I read, Ketchikan Alaska offers better fishing than other ports that the cruise ship will visit.

A few questions.

1. We are limited to a 4-6 hour trip because we have to get back before the cruise ship leaves. Should we go for Halibut or King Salmon? Does one have a better chance to send fish home by choosing one over the other?

2. Any recommendations on boats/or companies? Looking for a good experience.

3. How does shipping the catch work?

Thanks in advance. I am told that I need to book sooner than later as the boats can fill fast. I appreciate the information.
