Creator's Key Takeaways

Susan and I have been on four different cruises to Alaska and we have a fairly extensive knowledge of all the different ports

Ketchikan is considered the fishing capital of the world well maybe just one of them but salmon and halibut fishing is outstanding

Booking your tours ahead of time is very important Ketchikan is considered the fishing capital of the world

If you don't get a chance to fish for halibut at home this is a good opportunity and halibut are a bottom fish
