Alaska cruise/fishin question

[Maui-diver]

My wife has been wanting to do a cruise bad which I am dreading. But I could be talked into an Alaska trip. I have friends I've known since 5th grade who own a home in Anchorage Alaska and am sure will hook us up. What's the best deal or best Cruise line to choose from? I can also get in touch with them if any liners go into or by Anchorage. They've lived there for over 20 years. If anyone wants info, I'll find out and post at a later date.

I fished the middle of June and were able to get kings and chinooks. You only have ~ 6 hours to fish, so please keep that in mind if you are looking for a "meat haul."

Yes, do not pick out a guide using the excursion people from the boat, the price will be higher and the guide is hit or miss.

I don't necessarily need/want a meat haul. I'm good with releasing the fish. I just wanted to catch some. Do you remember who you went through?

Call Ian Flanerry. Fin n feather. Great friend. Grew up on the kenai river. He's an Aggie too. We went in early sept. Went white water rafting as well. That was insane.

On our last Alaskan cruise, we made the three stops you mention. My wife had never fished in Alaska. While in Ketchikan, we took a charter in the Inside Passage. It was kind of boring to me as we were downrigging in deep water. We booked it through the cruise line. Nice trip but I do not enjoy trolling. My wife loved it though! She liked it so much, she wanted to go back on a fishing only trip. Took her to the Kenai and she really had fun catching the big silvers. I really like fishing the rivers much better than the deep water.

I went in July . . . . we caught all pinkies but had a ball.

I'd find a guide where ever you decide. to me fishing was a bonus it was all about family time. Ketchican was cheaper then the other places. Definitely book from the internet the cruise marks up big time!

One of your threads is where I learned to book outside the cruise. Do you remember the name of the service?

My good friend/hunting partner, who lives in Juneau, says to check out his friend's guide service.

And this is who I guided for 2002-2010:
