Sandra was great and gave us a special treat when she whistled and an eagle came out of the trees for a frozen fish above the boat!
Half Day Trip (AM) Shared on July 23, 20263 adults

Captain Sandy made the trip very enjoyable. She was fun to talk to and worked hard to put us on fish. We talked to a lot of people on the cruise afterwards who didnt catch anything on their fancier boats and commented on seeing our boat reeling them in since we were all trolling in the same area. Several of them never even touched a rod the whole day. Highly recommend!

Best Salmon Day Ever with Sandra!
Half Day Trip (AM) Shared on July 25, 20232 adults1 child

What an amazing fishing trip today with Sandra! It was two adults and one 8 year old. Easy to find boat after a refreshing walk from our cruise ship. Captain Sandra was so wonderful! Sandra had so much equipment and got us out and fishing fast. We got our early and because of that, maxed out the quota of 24!!! Salmon before 10 am. Sandra had great snacks and drinks, and made the day so much fun. She’s a local with lots of great info- we had a great lunch after her recommendation too. She took us to the processor to help get our fish shipped home. 10/10 recommend Sandra and Chick Charters!

Reported catch:
Pink Salmon

I started commercial fishing with my dad when I was a child. I then changed over to become a female fishing captain, owning my own boat, in southeast Alaska. I do this all for the love of catching fish!
