I had posted a question on Cruise Critic about best place to fish as a cruise passenger: Ketchikan (7/1) 8 hours in port or Skagway (6/29) 14 hours in port. Fishermen are 71 year old, 13 year old and maybe 9 year old. If you have recommendations on best fishing port and specific vendors it would be appreciated.
If you click on this site, there is the name of a lodge in Ketchikan that handles King fishing. June is the best month so you will be there at a great time still. Fish on!!!!

Chance of catching any fish much greater in Ketchikan plus a lot more fishing charter choices. Skagway is up at the top of a long deep fjord so not as much ocean run king salmon or halibut. No personal experience charter fishing out of either, but did spend a few days at a lodge outside of Ketchikan.
