Five of us took a chapter with Capt Mike on June 12 while our cruise ship was in port.
We booked the trip about 3 weeks ago...I saw great reviews and we reached out to this company. My email was promptly responded to and another in our group called and spoke to the captain in person.
The price was fair and equivalent to other prices we saw.
Capt Mike met us right outside the ship and took us to his boat moored nearby. No shuttle needed.
My concern was being back to the ship in time for “all aboard” and Mike was very respectful of this. He actually kept us out a bit longer (NEVER has another captain done this in my deep sea Fishing experience) because we were hitting fish hard.
All in all, we caught 50 fish. Lots of shark we threw back, 3 halibut, Rock fish, lots of ridiculously ugly Rat fish, a type of flounder, pollock, cod and surprise....an octopus! We admired him and put him back.
Mike catered to our group...5 lines running at all times...sparkling clean boat and simply good old fashioned kindness and manners.He was talking to other captains during our trip to ask and share where the fish were hitting.
He took care of the fish we wanted to send home. Shipping and processing paperwork was done on the boat on the way back to port.
Granted we had a great day and not all days are as successful but he worked his “fin” off to make a great experience for us and he was successful.
Great conversation, great trip, I highly recommend Alaska Catch.
