for being my first alaksan fishing trip they got me on some great spot and reeled in some very nice fish today, if i ever get the chance to come back i will charter again
Mike and Celeste were wonderful! Good communication leading up to the trip and they got us out in the water right away. They took care of the hard work- manning the boat, setting up rods, and netting the fish. My husband and son were able to reel in about 20 salmon during our time on the water. The pinks were abundant that day. They also got two coho and a king that was slightly too small to keep. We were dropped off at a marina where we could arrange to have the salmon filleted and shipped to us at home. Mike suggested smoking the pink. As a person who generally does not like seafood, even I can say these are delicious! Thank you again to Mike and Celeste for being fantastic guides. My son and husband really enjoyed fishing and I loved being out on the water viewing the wildlife/scenery and of course acting as photographer. Highly recommend!
Mike and Celeste are a husband and wife team that make for a perfect trip for couples. My wife doesn’t really fish but still had an enjoyable experience. We got to experience a little Alaskan rain as well as some calm water. We saw a humpback whale and a sea otter. We also were fortunate enough to catch some fish. We kept a Rockfish, an Coho and 3 Pinks. We also caught 5 undersized Kings and had 6 other fish pull off (including a nice coho and pink that came unbuttoned right at the boat). I would highly recommend them as an alternative to a more commercialized excursion where they try to fit as many people on your boat as allowed.
Super friendly husband and wife team on a very well equipped boat. Excellent local knowledge and caught a silver salmon about 11Ilbs and a smaller pink salmon . Very happy with the whole experience and would definitely recommend and use these guys again 10 out of 10 . Made the trip exta special for us with their hospitality, thank-you Guys ,a big thumbs up . ps the views were spectacular from the water👍 👌
Mike ans Celeste were geat, very personable, and really know there fishing. We caught a couple of King Salmon that were a couple inches too small, a couple of really small I believe Pink that we threw back, and keepers we caught 2 Coho, one was 11lbs, 2 Pink, and 1 Rock in 4hrs, not a bad day fishing! Would definitely use them again. Small family own charter that really seem to enjoy what they do.
Starting with the communication through to the fishing itsself this was a high quality trip. Mike and Celeste run what must be one of the fishing charters anywhere. No one could be anything but pleased they chartered with them. If you prefer small groups and great instruction, this is a can’t miss charter choice.
