Our Alaska Fishing Boat
Our fishing boat, Stellar Blue is a 28' Osprey Long Cabin. These
boats are well known for being rugged and powerful, ideal for the Alaskan waters. Full
walk around decks, full galley, stand up head, an electric flush toilet, and a Wallace Heater to keep you warm
on those cold days, are just some of the features you will find.
We want our guests to feel as comfortable as possible when fishing with us and
we know that starts with having a fishing vessel that is safe, clean, and well maintained. On board
Stellar Blue, we want your first impression to be "what a great boat," not, "what is that
smell!"
Stellar Blue is equipped with state of the art electronics from SIMRAD, allowing
us to easily navigate to our favorite salmon and halibut fishing locales. The boat is powered by a 310hp
Volvo D-6 turbo diesel engine. This engine is extremely powerful, and unlike the diesels of the past,
she is smoke free, quiet, and smoothly cruises at speeds in excess of 25 knots, helping you get the most
out of your Ketchikan fishing charter. With the safety of our guests always in mind, we go out of our way to meet
all of the current Cost Guard safety requirements.
Alaska Fishing Tackle
In our opinion, some of the most important pieces of equipment to a fisherman's overall
experience and success, is using the right fishing rods and reels. You want the right rod and reel to get
the job done, this being the case, you do not want a meat stick meant for horsing the fish to the boat. Having
fished in Ketchikan, Alaska our whole lives, we understand what fishing gear works best and have equipped our
boat with some of the finest salmon and halibut fishing gear available.
When Ketchikan salmon fishing, we typically
troll using Scotty electric down riggers, Shimano rods and Shimano reels, along
with 25 to 30 lb test monofiliment line. Our Ketchikan halibut fishing gear
is light weight, yet more than capable of pulling up those "barn door" halibut. We use 80 lb
test Power Pro line and Penn reels, along with Shakespeare fishing rods. All the fishing gear we use, is
limber enough so you can enjoy the sport of reeling in your powerful Alaskan salmon or halibut, yet
strong enough so you can get the lunkers into the boat.
We have all the baits, lures and tackle to maximize your efficiency on the
water. Join us today on a Ketchikan fishing charter, and experience the world class salmon and halibut
fishing you have been dreaming about.
