Before we even arrived in Ketchikan, Star was very responsive to questions and changes as they came up (we changed the number of people multiple times and cruise ship port times changed.) she messaged us the morning of the excursion on where to find her. We were the first guests from our cruise ship on the water. As we were headed out to fish, Star processed fishing licenses so we were ready to fish as soon as we arrived at the āspot.ā
We had 5 people in our group and Star had 4 poles up and running as often as possible. Her main goal was to keep us busy fishing. The boat driver (Anthony, as I recall,) was extremely good at recognizing when a fish was about to pull the line from the downrigger, or if a fish was on, but hadnāt pulled the line free of the down rigger. He also was very knowledgeable on where and how to fish. The 2 of them made an awesome team!
We caught 30 salmon in under 3 hours! On the way back to shore, star explained shipping the fish home and gave estimates on how much it would cost and how the process would work. She also air dropped some awesome photos she took of us while we were out. If we make it back to Ketchikan, we would love to go back out with them again!!
