What They Are Saying
        About Avid Angler Charters
My family was cruising Alaska in July 2009. My wife and I have a teenage daughter and son. We told the kids that each of them could pick a shore excursion. My son picked salmon fishing. I did quite a bit of research and after receiving a few recommendations from locals contacted Larry Wiseman at Avid Angler Charters in Ketchikan, Alaska. Growing up in Canada, I have quite a bit of fishing experience. My entire family had a blast. Larry was tremendous through the booking process and was very flexible. He picked us up in his large and comfortable fishing cruiser at the cruise ship dock. This was tremendous as we just walked off of the ship right on to his boat. No waiting for pickup, no driving to another dock... it was very convenient. Best of all, we caught a ton of fish,. We caught so many Silver and Pink salmon , we had to stop fishing a few times to rest. The boat had a very comfortable top deck for my wife and daughter to relax and soak up the views. Larry was a great host and I would definitely refer friends and family. I booked directly with him and everything he offered and said was true. Not always the case with many other fishing charters. Larry also had our fish cleanded and shipped back to St. Louis. It arrived as promised and our freezer if full. Thanks for a great trip Larry.

We will certainly recommend you operation to friends who are coming your way, and if at all possible we will be back when the kings are running. There is no way we would go out with anyone but you. Thank you.

Our group had an excellent salmon fishing adventure filled with memories and good times. Capt. Larry put us on the fish all morning long for a fishing trip my family thoroughly enjoyed. We made an excellent choice with Avid Angler Charters and would recommend Larry Wiseman's guide service to anyone heading to Ketchikan. Thanks again Larry!

Took the Alaskan cruise, didn't want to pay the big up-charge to book a salmon fishing trip through the cruise line so I took a chance on Avid Angler off the Internet. Hit a home run. Great time, experienced guide,lots of salmon and he arranged to get them shipped home after we got back

My sister and I have been to Ketchikan numerous times. We love to fish and had the great fortune of meeting Larry the owner of Avid Angler the first day we were in town. We have now been out with Larry many times. Seriously, Larry is as good as it gets. He is a super professional, nice and fun guy and he certainly knows where to go to find the fish. No matter what type of Salmon, Larry knows right where to go given the conditions of the day. Every experience with Avid has been a great day. We have been out with other Fishing Charters in Ketchikan however there is no comparison...Larry and Avid Anglers are the real deal.
