my husband and I had an amazing time with Captain Mike and his first mate on Class Act Charter! Both were top-notch—super friendly, knowledgeable, and worked incredibly hard to make the experience exciting and educational. This was my first time salmon fishing, and I learned so much. Their determination really paid off—we ended up with 3 huge King Salmon, 2 Steelhead, and 1 Lake Trout! They truly went above and beyond to make sure our trip was successful. I would absolutely recommend... More

We had a blast! My boys ages 8 and 12 had never caught a salmon before. Captain Mike explained what to do when we got a fish on and these boys landed 6 fish. The location was easy to find. They have a great boat with all the right gear. These guys live up to the name “Class Act”. We’d definitely fish them again. FYI - the last photo is at Chopo’s Northside Bar where they cooked our fish we caught with Captain Mike.

Very friendly Captain and Mate. Had a great time with my 4 grandsons. Youngest 14 and oldest 18. They even kept us an hour longer to hope 2 of the boys would catch a fish. We got a double so all were very happy.

We both had a great time today! Good work on the rod! We don’t mind helping new folks learn how to bring these fish to the boat but its nice when a person comes with the skill.
