Gold Coast Lodge is a floating lodge anchored in Moira Sound on the southeast coast of Prince of Wales Island (about 35 miles west of Ketchikan, Alaska.), Gold Coast Lodge is the only lodge on the southern third of the third largest island under the U.S. flag. The isolation of this area means you will be fishing in some of the last remaining pristine wilderness in the world.  We provide a friendly, intimate experience with a maximum of 8 guests at a time. Why not discover what our returning clients already know? It's tough to top Gold Coast Lodge.

A Note From Your Guide


Chacon Eagle

I'm David Ausman and I have been living a dream.  I live in a sportsman's paradise!  I make my living giving people a wilderness experience far beyond the ordinary.  I've watched most of my clients catch the biggest fish of their lives.  I've helped most of my clients catch more fish in one day than they ever caught on any other fishing trip they've ever taken.  I have guided first place in more Alaskan fishing derbies than any man in Alaskan history.

We are very proud of our beautiful charter boat, the Chacon Eagle.  The Eagle is a gorgeous custom-made, fully equipped 28-foot fishing machine designed to deliver you to the best fishing spots in speed, comfort and style.  It’s the only charter boat in southern SE Alaska to have earned the U.S. Coast Guard’s 5 Star rating!  This rating means we have met the highest safety standards recommended by the Coast Guard.  We also have a fleet of skiffs for your fishing and exploring pleasure.
