My name is Aaron Ramirez and I am the owner and operater of Ketchikan Fishing Expeditions.
Aaron was born and raised in the Sierra Nevada mountains of central California. From a young age he developed a love and passion for hunting and fishing that surprised even his parents who were avid outdoors people themselves. From offshore fishing the California coast to hunting mule deer in the high sierra, Aaron left no stone unturned and no adventure as a mere dream.
The need for adrenaline and excitement didn’t stop at fishing, hunting, and winter sports. Through high school and college Aaron rode bulls competitively in the CCPRA (California Cowboys Pro Rodeo Association). This was a way to make some money and scratch the adrenaline itch while pursuing his bachelors degree at California State University, Fresno. Through this community Aaron met a good friend who would lead him to Alaska and a new adventure.
After a few conversations with this new friend a goal was made, Aaron was going to secure his captains license and head to Alaska to try his hand at professional guiding. This was no small feat while pursuing a degree, rodeo, work, and balancing a social and family life. Over the next year Aaron studied and acquired the last of his needed sea time to qualify for the USCG exam. Just a few months before he was due in Alaska the goal was completed and he had a USCG 50 Ton Masters License.
This was now over ten years ago and Aaron has continued pursuing his outdoor passions to the fullest. This is what makes him the captain and guide that he is. Not only does he have the intimate knowledge of the waters surrounding Ketchikan after a decade of guiding and thousands of days on the water but he knows how to help his guests immerse themselves into nature in a way that will leave them wanting more.
