Halibut
Ketchikan offers some fantastic Halibut fishing opportunities in the waters of the Inside Passage. These flatfish are ambush predators, so focus on fishing near structure, such as rocky bottoms and underwater pinnacles. The best time to target Halibut is typically from May through September. Large jigs tipped with salmon or herring are effective baits. When fishing deep, braided line is essential for sensitivity and reducing stretch. A useful tip is to use a scent attractant to further entice these bottom dwellers. Be mindful of the tides, as Halibut often feed more actively during tidal changes. Several charter operations run out of Ketchikan, offering guided trips to productive Halibut grounds.
