    8 Hr – Rockcod & Halibut Fishing on July 29, 2022 • 2 adults

    10 out of 10. Limit out and back to the dock before lunch! On a day when we could hear the other boats struggling to find the bite over the radio, Captain Mike already had us in the honey hole. Not long after we got to the spot it was ON. Almost non-stop. Captain Mike earned it too! Multiple rods going off at the same time...Poor guy didn't even get a chance to sit down! Other than bagging a 32lber, and a couple 20lbers, my favorite part about our group's experience was that with a group of 3, we got to learn a lot by picking Mike's brain. You can tell from the start he's super experienced and knows what he's doing. I saw other larger boats with a LOT of people aboard and was glad I was on Mike's boat. Can't wait for the next one!

    Captain and fisherman with confidence and experience

    8 Hr – Trophy Chinook Salmon on September 4, 2025 • 4 adults

    Was lucky enough to book a salmon trip with Mike during the 4 day opening in sept. Went with 3 grandkids and Mike got everyone on the boat limits. Mike was good with helping me and my grandkids bring in their fish whereas there were times that it got exiting with double hookups. I will book with Mike again in the future

    Awesome catch for being late in the season!

    8 Hr – Rockcod & Halibut Fishing on September 10, 2022 • 3 adults

    We scheduled for the first week of September which is late in the fishing season. Captain Mike was great! He’s knowledgeable and experienced. We had our first catch within 5-minutes of dropping the first lure. We ended up catching 5 salmon weighing a total of 80+ lbs. The heaviest was 26 lbs. Captain Mike was patient since we first timers. Remember to bring a large ice chest. We’re already ready to schedule the next trip with Captain Mike!

    Had an almost full boat for the day, when a bunch of extremely fair weathered "sailors" chickened out because they decided to be weathermen . So was left with a single fisherman for the day. Instead of cancelling trip I called in some local backup and we went out and had a great day with mild conditions and big salmon, including a first salmon and limits for the single and big fish all the way around Thanks for coming ASH
