When you want an authentic Ketchikan fishing experience with the maître de of the seas, look no further than Sonny Campbell. Sonny arrived on Ketchikan’s shores when his father relocated the family here at the height of the logging industry in the late 60s/early 70s. Growing up, Sonny and his brothers shared in their father’s love of hunting and fishing. It’s even said that you could find the Campbell boys out in the middle of a storm fishing when everyone else was tied up at the docks.
Sonny’s learned a lot since those early days, and has become one of the most experienced and talented fishermen in Ketchikan. If you gauge a charter guide by the amount of fish caught, by knowledge of tides, weather and runs of fish, by the ability to find the right fishing spot on the right day, and by an extraordinary work ethic… well, Sonny is your guy.
He understands the kind of experience you want and makes sure you get it, whether it’s a day trip cruising around for scenery and wildlife, or a multi-day package complete with a room at Cedars Lodge and fishing from one of the most productive and comfortable charter boats in Ketchikan.
Like many old-timers, Sonny is short on words but long on experience and gumption. You won’t get a lot of small talk, but you will get an authentic day on the water with an expert guide, who will help you make the most of your Ketchikan fishing adventure.
