Big Mike (no so big anymore cause he is looking amazing after sheding some unhealthy pounds!) was an AMAZING captain on our first salmon fishing experience! He and his lovely first mate took care of us and taught us the ropes quickly.  We both caught king salmon and had an absolute blast! Ate all of it between grilled and cured for sandwiches in our hiking expeditions the following dates. We will definitely repeat :))

Fishing with Big Mike was amazing as always. Mike is a phenomenal captain, will get you on fish, has an amazing new boat and is all around a great guy! I’ve never felt safer on the water and love getting to fish with him and deckhand supreme Stacy! Im so excited for fall fishing and cant wait to get more springer trips on the books for next year. Thank you Mike!

Captain Mike and Stacy were fun, informative and efficient.  Even better we all caught fish!  Rick was the Coho king, Dan caught Chinook and Coho and Steve’s birthday best fish was a 40.5 lb native King, released to finish his journey.  Great weather, good company and we limited out in 3.5 hours on a beautiful afternoon. 

Mike has top of the line equipment and the know how to utilize it in order to put fish in the boat. He is friendly and knowledgeable and enjoys sharing his passion for fishing with others. He knows the Columbia River as well as anyone out there and knows when and where to fish it. Book a trip, you will not be disappointed.

Really great experience from start to finish. Mike’s knowledge of fishing and the local area are exceptional. He runs the boat with total efficiency—always keeping lines in the water. Most importantly, he knows how to put you on the fish!
