    DIY Saltwater Fishing Trip to Prince of Wales Island

    That's good to know about the taxi. I looked up taxi fees on a website online and it was 25 dollars to cross from the airport to Ketchikan on a ferry with a taxi but I can't find the link right now. It also looks like Uber is an option and they can be reserved in advance. I've been in a float...

    The duffels a great idea and I hadn't come across taking a to on the ferry before you mentioned it, even after hours of research. Looked like you could book them in advance too.

    DIY Saltwater Fishing Trip to Prince of Wales Island

    I looked up the flights from the Ketchikan airport to klawock and they were ~$1000 with only 50lbs of gear per person. Are there cheaper for flights than that? That's a lot of extra money considering how cheap the ferries are. I am planning on renting a vehicle from Hollis I looked up the...

    I've talked to the owner but wanted to get other folks opinions as well. I was also looking for people with experience that have done the whole trip to the island by ferries to get their insight and any tips they had for travel.

    The trip back doesn't sound like much fun but with that much fish I bet it made up for it! Thanks for the information!

    DIY Saltwater Fishing Trip to Prince of Wales Island

    When you are using flashers and hoochies, are you using flashers with fins like shortbus or ones without like hot spots? Around me it seems like most people use shortbus or similar flashers with fins but hoochies don't seem to be too popular.

    Thanks for the info. I'm sure it was a rodeo! Hopefully we have a similar experience next year.

    That sounds great. I've been contemplating bringing a soft cooler full of food (burger, brats, etc.) and picking up a few essentials once we arrive. I'll make sure to stop in Klawock once we get on the island. Are the food prices on POW similar to Ketchikan?

    Kbarnes, we will be fishing out of Coffman Cove with J&J Charters. We booked a cabin and a 22' Hewescraft. The owner has quite a few youtube videos up (The Alaskan Savage) but I wouldn't mind some additional information on the salmon/halibut fishing. I fish for Fall Chinook in the Snake River...

    DIY Saltwater Fishing Trip to Prince of Wales Island

    Thanks Johnny, this is what I was looking for. We have a deep freezer at the place we are staying so everything should be frozen solid by the time we leave. We should be pretty light when we arrive, but hopefully we will have a couple hundred pounds or more of fish by the time we leave (4 people).

    Thanks LostArra, that's some great information and I appreciate the tips. I was told to check the tide charts before booking so I did that and got a week when the tides have the smallest change. I don't have any plans on anchoring but did book a 22ft Hewescraft.

    DIY Saltwater Fishing Trip to Prince of Wales Island

    Hi everyone, I recently booked a boat and cabin for a week in late July 2025 on Prince of Wales Island. I'm looking for a little insight on traveling with gear and hopefully fish boxes on the return trip. I am planning on renting a truck on the island as well. Does anyone have experience with...
