Ketchikan, Alaska

I went finishing at Ketchikan. We caught a king salomon. They can process it and Fedex to your home for $90. We decided to give it to the captain Larry Wiseman. He is a pleasant captain. You can visit his website at http://www.avidanglercharters.com.

Don't Miss: Butchart garden is a must see.

Sitka, Alaska

5 out of 5

Sitka is a small town. The semi-sub we took was so so. The nature history park on the east side of town is definitely a place you should go. It only take 20 mins to walk from town center.
