Booked with Alaska Strikezone, but they parceled us to Captain Ryan!!! Soooo glad they did!!! Loved how Captain Ryan was from for Florida like us!!! Within 10 minutes we were on the salmon!!!! my two boys each caught a Chum salmon and lost some. The husband caught a pink salmon and a juvenile king salmon. I caught a juvenile king salmon, and then a keeper King salmon!!!!! Captain, Ryan knows those those waters like the back of his hand, and even stayed a little longer so we could try to get that king salmon! Can’t wait to go back and do some halibut, lingcod, and rock fishing!!!! Saw a bunch of eagles and whales during our time.

Captain Ryan with Wayward was fantastic. We were a last minute booking. He was easy to contact and quick to respond. He met us at the dock and made us feel perfectly at home right away. He put us into salmon and worked hard to help us land three keepers on the day. We were impressed with his knowledge of the water and of Ketchikan. We will absolutely use Wayward Sons again and look forward to having Captain Ryan at the helm!

Capt. Ryan was awesome! He took my family of 4 fishing for 4 hours. We had an ample amount of fun fishing and we shared quite a few laughs. We saw several 🦅, including "Gary" and his lady friend. On the way back to Ketchikan we saw a seal. The trip with Captain Ryan was so good, my family and I already started planning a trip for next year. Thank you for a memorable trip!

Captain Ryan arranged for our fish to be cleaned and packed to ship to our home.He was a lot of fun and really knows how to catch fish! The boys had a blast!! We highly recommend him!
