Sandra Coats

Member since June 2019 Ketchikan, United States
Background
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!
Techniques
Go big or go home! Fish on, not off! Reel reel reel. Stay positive! You can’t catch a fish angry! No bananas! Fishing is like a box of chocolates...you never know what your gonna get!

Sandra is great but I wouldnโ€™t recommend a fishing excursion.

To risk $975 and only one of us catching a tiny yearling wasnโ€™t worth it. I wouldnโ€™t pay half that again. Sandra was great!...
