Absolutely the best! Captain Mike met my wife and I in May on a horrible day for an outing. Six foot seas, driving rain and wind in excess of 20 m.p.h. He advised he could not exceed our expectations that day, but if we insisted he would go fishing with us. He strongly urged that we accept cancellation and full refund. With honesty and integrity such as that, I HAD to come back to see Captain Mike and go fishing! My son and son-in-law joined me for this visit.
We were able to charter with Mike for fishing on two days, six hours Saturday and all day Sunday. On Saturday we set out crab pots, caught 3 good sized halibut and 3 salmon. We were amazed at the bites of halibut that came so quickly after setting anchor.
Day two began with salmon fishing, and we scored two more, and conditions for salmon were very difficult. We then went on to halibut, where we caught two good sized fish, and 3 more that were legal keepers, but needed to go back into the water to grow in size for someone else next year. We then went on to pull up the crab pots to find our limit of dungeness crabs in those pots.
Mike then arranged for all of our catch to be processed and took us to a local beach for a crab boil. There's nothing better than fresh caught crab cooked on the beach!!!
If you're going to be in Ketchikan, by means of cruise line or land exploration, look this up, as you will be well taken care of and catch a bunch of fish. Our box of fish was just under 55 pounds!
If ever we come back this way, we will be certain to contact Captain Mike.
