This was such an amazing experience. Mike and Celeste were helpful, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. We especially appreciated their attentiveness and it felt like they were truly excited to be there with us. The private boat makes a difference.

We were able to catch 2 coho, 3 pink, a small king, and a multitude of other small salmon. Captain Mike came on board with a plan on where to fish to give us the best opportunity to catch fish.

We also were able to help them check their shrimp traps making the excursion especially unique and special.

At the end of the trip they were able to get us set up with getting the salmon overnight shipped back to our house.

When we got back to the boat, we overheard two guys talking about their fishing excursion. “I’ve had better fishing at Myrtle beach.  Jerry caught a small one at the very end, but I didn’t catch anything.”

We highly recommend this trip and are extremely happy we booked with Captain Mike over the fishing excursions through the cruise.

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.

it was delightful watching his husband and wife team come together to run. Their own business is a very personalized experience and they really make sure that every effort is made so that you do catch fish and the conversation was absolutely delightful. Very friendly. Very nice people I would highly recommend anyone book a trip with them.

Mike and Celeste were Great Hosts.
They made us at ease with a Safety Briefing, then put us on the Cohos.
They are Great to hang out with, very personable!
I love that they just take 2 persons out at a time, we got lots of rod time and it was very reasonable compared to other charters!!
Thanks Mike and Celeste!!
