Captain Michael Krom has been fishing his whole life and loves sharing his knowledge for rewarding and memorable fishing experiences. He is a United States Coast Guard Master Licensed Captain with over 30 years of fishing experience. He has been on the water his entire life. My bluefin tuna fishing experience has been nothing short of incredible, thanks to learning from a 30-year veteran of the sport. Under his guidance, I mastered essential techniques like reading ocean currents, understanding tuna behavior, and perfecting the art of blue fin tuna fishing. Each trip out to sea has been a test of patience and skill, battling these powerful fish that demand both strength and strategy. The thrill of hooking a massive bluefin, feeling the raw power of the fight, and finally bringing it aboard is unmatched. Every lesson from my mentor has deepened my appreciation for the sport, turning each catch into a testament to experience and dedication.

    good trip

    Half Day Trip PM • 4 adults

    Overall , I would say , the fishing trip was Pretty lame. The captain seemed more interested in saving fuel than Providing. A good fishing experience. I would have preferred to spend a few $100 more and get a better effort at finding fish. i think i should be given that option i would likely try captain mike again we would need to review the details first. also the captain needs to clearly identify where the slip whrre boat is located. and the name of the boat please clearly indicate your phone number in as many places as possible .

    Response from Captain

    I am sorry to hear that you feel that way. During your trip, we experienced sustained winds approaching 30 mph against the tide, which made it difficult to maintain a proper anchor position during the first few hours. As a result, we drift-fished with bait until the tide increased enough to allow us to hold the boat in a suitable position and properly present our bait. Unfortunately, weather and water conditions are beyond my control. If I had believed there was a more productive location to fish under those conditions, we would have moved there immediately. I have spent my entire life on this river, fishing it since childhood, and I remain in constant communication with many captains and boats operating within a 20-mile radius to stay informed of current conditions and fishing activity. Regarding fuel usage, I want to assure you that saving fuel has never been a consideration when it comes to providing the best possible experience for my customers. I would gladly use my last gallon of fuel if it meant putting my clients on fish. Anyone who knows me or has fished with me can attest that I never spare expense when it comes to serving my customers. As for locating me, I provided you with the exact address. Additionally, Fishbooker does not permit captains to display personal phone numbers on their listings, which is why my phone number was not included there. I appreciate your feedback and regret that your experience did not meet your expectations.
