Craig,
Not sure about Ketchikan specifically but I know there is ATA or Alaska Trollers Association. They try to represent all trollers who participate in the fishery.
You can google that and go there; sometimes the director (Dale Kelly) hangs out here too on occassion. I know they would love your $upport.

Hi Craig (and thanks, Jim!):
I'm writing from the road, but somewhere in the 'politics' section is a membership application. If you're on Facebook, search us out at Alaska Trollers (or AK Trollers maybe?) AND Alaska Trollers Association. Membership rates and contact info can be found on both those sites.
Finally, I was just working on ATA's webpage tonight, which should be up later this week: aktrollers.org You can find info and forms there.
The office will be closed until early December, but I will be at FishEXPO and we will have a port meeting on site at 1:30pm Friday Nov.19th.
Welcome to the fleet. Hope to meet you soon!
Dale
