Our fishing charter with Captain Mike exceeded our expectations and was a highlight of our Alaskan cruise! We were a family of four (two teens) traveling with grandparents, and Mike was patient (even when one of us had to walk back to the ship for her fishing license), funny, a great story teller, knowledgeable, and down to earth. And most of all--we caught lots of fish. We booked the four-hour salmon fishing trip and within 20 minutes of getting in his boat, our first one was hooked. In total, we kept more than 15 salmon and 2 rockfish to ship home to Florida. Mike is very accommodating, with lots of fun stories, and best of all knows how to catch! My husband, an avid fisherman in Florida, remarked afterwards that Mike was "one of the coolest guys he had ever met!"
