Customer Comments about our Charter Fishing 2010

Comments from 2010 Fishermen

Tom Schmidt and Jeff Gibson (Minnesota) July 1, 2010 Thank you again for such an awesome time. It was insane. Master Captain B -Best captain in Alaska. Best fishing of my life. This is Alaska. It’s crazy. You can’t really explain it. Captain B is great. This is called “spot on a spot” fishing at 300 ft. below the surface. See www.Youtube.com/capers700. Watch “Birthday surprise”, “Alaska Charter Halibut Lingcod insane catch””Captain B ‘s charter captain Bryan.” and “Gibson Yelloweye Catch.”.

Gib and Vicki LeRoque (Michigan) Thanks to you and everyone for making this our best day on water anywhere! As always, our days with you were without question the highlight of our visit to your wonderful state. The fishing was phenomenal and your love and appreciation of the surroundings turns a fishing trip into a truly unforgettable experience. Lord willing we will see you next year.

Mary Ann Rutkowski (Missouri) Here I was…a little old lady with 5 big guys, including my husband. We spent the day hauling in halibut, rockfish, and one peculiar fish that I caught that had blue flesh (they called it a greenling). But I had the time of my life. Bryan made me feel every bit as important as the big guys, and they were great at helping me land those nice big halibut. And thanks to Donna who manned the phones and told this little old lady exactly how to dress for that cold wet day on the water. Gosh, it was fun. Captain B's is a first class operation.

Rod & Charlotte Dolak (Ohio) Just wanted to say thanks again and tell you what a great time we had. Rod and I have been married for 20 years and I have never been a big fan of fishing, but I have always faithfully followed him wherever he wanted us to go. As far as success on those trips, let’s just say I have always been "fishing challenged". But, not on your boat. I actually caught fish and had a great time. I can not wait to go fishing again next year on your boat, and next year when Rod plans on fishing everyday for 4-5 days, instead of me fishing just 1 day, I am going out everyday with him. Your first mate was super; he was very patient and showed me how to actually fish. I have been showing off all the pictures I took and telling all my friends about it. The best part of this trip was actually catching fish AND having a great time while doing it, the second best part was when we were fishing for rockfish later in the day and I had my limit before Rod had boated his first rockfish. One word sums up the trip on your boat. SWEET.

Dan and Pat Moore (Colorado) We will never forget the wonderful fishing trip in August; put 43 fish on the boat. We were in Seward and met a couple who told us that 2 days before in Homer, he fished all day and only caught 2 halibut. I pulled out our camera and showed him what a "quality" fishing trip was with a good skipper. Rest assured he will use you the next time.
The fishing trip did wonders for my son-in-law who had just returned from Iraq. He was so proud when he showed all his men the photos. Your support for our troops is really appreciated. You are all just the best there is, and we look forward to seeing you on the next trip.

Ann Smith (Texas) Just wanted you to know that Ray and I are still talking about our awesome fishing trip w/ you. It is something that we will never forget. I can still feel that big mean lingcod take off w/ my rock fish I had hooked. Best fishing trip ever. i cannot understand why anyone would want to book just a halibut trip, when they have an option of doing all 3. They don't know what they are missing. we will certainly recommend other friends coming your way. When we were planning our trip to Alaska, I contacted an alaska fishing trip planner. She said she booked fishing trips for people w/ the best guides that could catch fish and what fish were biting at the time. So, she is the one responsible for us finding out about you. We will certainly recommend other friends coming your way. Thanks again for a totally awesome day..

Joe and Cindy Asher (Michigan) Thank you for the GREAT time we had halibut fishing on May 25, 2010. Neither the couple we traveled with, nor my wife and I had ever been fishing for Halibut before. What an experience. Handling and jigging the gear looked complicated and we worried we would have troubles or not do the right thing. We all commented at the end of the day that both you and your deckhand were superb at teaching us and dealing with our greenhorn skills. Never were we made to feel stupid or foolish for our questions or naivety. We all learned a lot about how to fish for these creatures. We are very happy with the fish we caught, how we were treated, and our overall experience. The deckhand’s fish cleaning skills were excellent and we are enjoying our great tasting fish. Getting a chance to see humpback whales at the end of the day was phenomenal. My only disappointment is that we didn’t schedule to fish another day!
You should know our group discussed many times how pleased we were with your deckhand. He was very friendly, helpful and his willingness to help in any way was very much appreciated. He is a great asset to your business. All of our emails leading up to our trip to Homer with Donna were very helpful in our decision making for the trip. She went above and beyond in providing information about local sites and activities. This made it much easier for us since we had never been to Homer before. Thank you so much for the best vacation we have ever had!!

Larry Majerus (Wyoming) Captain, I and several members of the Rawdon family from Wyoming fished the Ashtikan with you about 10 yrs ago! Just wanted you to know, and take great pride in the memories you helped us create. Families change but the memories remain constant and you and the Ashtikan are part of our family!

Tammy Harlow and John Davis (Illinois) We just wanted to Thank you all for making our fishing trip in Alaska everything I had dreamed it would be, We will be telling these fish tails for the rest of our life and I'm sure that a few of our friends and fishing buddies will be up to fish with you also.
What a Blast we had, not one minute was dull or boring, there was not enough time between fish to even catch your breath. Thank you again, YOU ARE THE BEST! And then there are the rest. Keep your eyes out because we will be back.

Roy Heilman (Minnesota) Amy and I want to thank you for the great day of fishing. It's a shame the silvers were late in arriving this year because we were looking forward to catching those the most. However, you and your deckhand definitely helped make the most of it. We were really happy with our catch of halibut, rockfish, and the bonus lingcod. Amy had so much fun that she can't stop talking about coming back to fish with you at Homer as soon as we can. If only I could make her feel that way about ice fishing!

Bob and Cathy Ross (Arkansas) Bob and I fished with you (also my sister Julie) on July 2. You estimated this halibut to be 85 pounds. We had a great time and have eaten quite a bit of the halibut we shipped home. It is just delicious! Thanks again for teaching and coaching us.

Sharon Gould ( Idaho) I fished last year early August with Bryan.
Hope all is well......I so enjoyed the fishing trip last year, was the 'highlight' of my life.

Erin Murphy (Michigan) I had such a great time in Alaska this past July that I am planning another trip for next May. I was wondering if you could send me the available fishing options for that time period. Thanks.
