Mike is a knowledgeable and friendly captain. His boat clean and comfortable. There is an inside cabin for when it gets cold or rainy. He was patient with us novices (even with our teens). Our daughter has an aversion to blood, and he made sure to clean up the deck every time it got fish blood on it.
At each step, he explained what he was doing and answered our questions. He researched tide changes & weather prior to each day, and he knows the best spots. First day, we caught our limit of halibut within 90 minutes. Next day we caught more halibut and King salmons. Third day we could hardly get a second line in the water before another pink caught the first!
After some more halibut, we collected crab pots and Mike cooked them up for us on a beautiful little beach.
Bonus wildlife: we counted (at one time) 24 bald eagles, then three humpbacks and a handful of porpoises.
For those to whom it would matter: there is a clean onboard bathroom setup. 😬
