Ketchikan Fishing Charters
Ketchikan Alaska
Welcome to Campbell’s Fishing Charters, a locally owned and operated fishing charter in Ketchikan, Alaska. I’m Captain Cable (Clyde Campbell), born and raised right here in Ketchikan, with five generations of my family having called this place home.
With over 45 years of fishing experience in Southeast Alaska, I fish these waters year-round because this is where I live—not just in the summer months. That means real local knowledge shaped by changing tides, weather, and fish movement every single day. Every trip is run aboard my fully licensed and insured charter boat, the 4C’s, built for safe, comfortable, and productive fishing.
Ketchikan, Alaska is known as the Salmon Capital of the World, and for good reason. If you’ve ever thought about an Alaska fishing trip or dreamed of getting out on the water in Alaska, Ketchikan is the place to do it. The abundance of fish, stunning scenery, and consistent action make it one of the best fishing destinations anywhere.
I offer both full-day and half-day fishing trips, targeting Alaska salmon, lingcod, and bottom fish, with catch-and-release halibut available depending on the season. Trips are customized to your group, whether you’re brand new to fishing or an experienced angler chasing quality fish.
I specialize in half-day cruise ship fishing excursions and hold the necessary permits to pick up clients right near the cruise ships in downtown Ketchikan, making it easy to step off the ship and straight onto the boat without wasting time.
Campbell’s Fishing Charters is hands-on and family-friendly, while still welcoming serious anglers looking for a productive day on the water. I provide all rods, reels, bait, and gear—just show up ready to fish.
If you’re looking for a true local Ketchikan fishing charter, operated year-round by someone whose life and family history are rooted here, I’d be proud to take you out.
Give me a call to book your fishing charter in Ketchikan, Alaska.
