Not a very good experience. First thing out of the captain's mouth is we can't use the bathroom or…read morewe would have to pump our own waist out. The boat was filthy. Did not look clean inside the cab or on the back deck. It smelled like it had been out fishing for a very long time. The fish had gone bad. The captain seemed to be just going through the motions waiting for the season to end. The captain was also vaping constantly through the entire charter. No drinks were offered no courtesy of any kind. The equipment was worn some of the reels for nonfunctional. They are lacking a variety of trolling lures. Axle was very nice and helping me book through his company, but I would consider changing some things on this particular boat.

We've been attempting to do a guys fishing trip every 5 years, but its been 6 years since our last…read moreweek long visit. The charter we usually go with had a break down, so he personally referred us to Kit, the Owner and Operator of Alaskan Dream Sportfishing. Working out of Knudson Cove (about a 24 minute drive from the downtown and the cruise ships), we were met exactly at 6:30am at the marina by his boat. Clean fishing boat that sat the 5 of us comfortably, with a big back deck to run around and fish off of. Also, there's an area to get out of the weather (wind, sun, rain) along with a toilet. We were taken on an hour and a half boat ride to who knows where, and as we approached the fishing grounds, we were greeted by pods of humpback whales and porpoises breaching at the surface. Kit set up the rods for each of us in under 5 minutes, and with in a matter of seconds, we were hooked into a silver and king salmon. Let's just say, he put us right on top of the fish!! Even with about 15+ lost fish, a couple of tangles, and broken rings on the hooks, Kit got our lines back in the water and kept us fishing, or in our case, catching! We hit our limits (30 salmon between the 5 of us) in an hour!! Then we took a short boat ride away and switch rods and set ups, and BOOOM! We were right ontop of the halibut now! We did have to battle a sea lion that gave us hell, but we were still able to land our limits of halibut. Made it back to the marina in the early afternoon, helped clean all of our fish, and then it was time for some cold beers with our Captain. This was THE BEST DAY of fishing we've all ever had! About Kit; Extremely professional! Felt like all of us were old friends, having a great time fishing and raggin' on each other, because thats what guys do. He did not show any signs of anger, frustration, or awkwardness our entire time with him. He continued to keep his composure and was a happy go lucky type of guy. His enthusiasm for fishing is infectious! He's a local family man, born and raised in Ketchikan and has always been on the water. Coming soon... he's in the process of finishing up a guest house for guest lodging. Check out his website for packages, lodging, and other details. He also takes out Cruise Ship Passengers for half day trips. Please contact him or look at his website for details.

Regardless, I booked for a second day (just myself) because we were so impressed with Moses…read more An hour out, his boss called and told him that another charter boat had broken down. He was told he needed to pick up a different group from a cruise ship, and that they could reschedule me some other time that weekend, even though this was Sunday morning, and we were leaving on Monday. In other words a group whose charter started after mine, was more important than I was. More important than my return business. The business with the cruise passengers was more important. So thanks for ruining my trip. I really hope Moses starts his own business so that we can frequent it instead.

As someone who has spent many years in customer service, I pay close attention to professionalism and the overall experience. Campbell's Fishing Charter exceeded our expectations in every way. Captain Cable was knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and worked hard to put us on fish. We ended the day catching a total of 15 fish, and the excitement never stopped! The boat was spotless when we boarded, and I was especially impressed that it was continuously cleaned throughout the trip as fish were brought aboard. Everything stayed organized, safe, and comfortable, which really showed the pride Captain Cable takes in his business. If you're looking for a professional, family-friendly charter with excellent customer service and a captain who genuinely wants you to have a great day on the water, look no further than Campbell's Fishing Charter. We would book with Captain Cable again without hesitation and highly recommend him to anyone visiting Alaska!

We were promptly picked up and the driver was lovely. She dropped us off and Captain Robert took over. He's very genial and after tooling out in the bay about 10 minuets, we started fishing. We caught 4 Pinks and 2 Silver, which they smoked or filleted and shipped back to us. The fish arrived frozen & well packaged.

I call BS on that one as it's pretty hard to miss a cruise ship in a tiny port.
