Review of Ketchikan’s private fishing charter, with salmon, halibut, gear, cruise pickup, pricing, guides, comfort, and booking advice.
“We felt good about our trip because Captain Mike had 5 Stars, but when we got to the dock it wasn’t Captain Mike it was someone else. Our Captain that day was very kind with great manners but he did not know where the fish was located that day. We did try three different places he thought maybe they were located. For the money we paid this wasn’t good. I’m thinking, maybe Captain Mike didn’t care enough about us catching to share this information with the captain who took us out that day. Just not sure to be honest. But for sure, their excuse of TIDE issues just wasn’t the…”

Review of Miami Big Game Deep Sea Fishing with Captain Mark the Shark, covering cost, catch chances, pickup issues, timing, and who should book.
“We booked this charter and spoke with the captain ahead of time. We let Mark know that we wanted to go deep sea fishing for sailfish in advance. He said this is what we would be doing. The morning before our trip we were notified that there would not be a hotel pickup as advertised. He acted like he didn’t know what we were talking about even though the ad specifically states “hotel pickup”. Our scheduled fishing trip was for 12:30. The captain did arrive at the dock till after 1:00. He then wanted to know if it was ok if other guests of his rode on the boat that…”
