Capt Mike and his wife Celeste were amazing. Personable and knowledgeable. We were able to catch plenty of Salmon in addition to some Copper Rockfish. Treated us like genuine people and not as a paycheck.
We were able to see multiple species of wildlife to include a Humpback Whale and Sea Otter.
The fees they charged were reasonable. They offered a military discount.
It was unfortunate that we were not able to keep the King Salmon my girlfriend caught due to it being Emergency due to trying to keep within agreement with King Salmon regulations.
They talked to us and took a genuine interest in us. It was great day or fishing topped off by being able to catch fish by trolling and digging.
They taught us the techniques needed to be successful fisher people. We highly recommend and will be booking with when we return to Ketchikan.
If looking for a private fishing charter they are the ones to go with.

We wanted to go salmon fishing during our cruise stop in Ketchikan and we’re so glad we booked with Captain Mike! He checked in with us prior to our trip to make sure we were ready to go, provided us with contact info for a local taxi to get us to Knudson Cove, and was right there at the meeting point on time.
During the trip, we appreciated Mike and Celeste’s attention to detail, knowledge of the area, and overall kindness and hospitality. The boat was clean, stocked with snacks and drinks, and had all the equipment needed for a great day of fishing.
We had some bites over the first few hours, but Mike and Celeste stayed busy trying out different lures, depths, and setups for the poles to help us get a catch. My husband finally hooked a salmon and that quickly became the highlight of his whole vacation!
Thank you again to Captain Mike and Celeste for a great day out on the water — we will 100% be booking another charter with them when we are back in Ketchikan!

Out for a few hours and caught some awesome pink salmon and one king.
