My brother and I wanted to thank you guys for a once in a lifetime fishing experience! Our trip could not have been scripted any better. We had great weather and the best captain. Capt. Mike put us on 2 kings, 3 cohos, 4 pinks, and a 125 lb halibut, all in a 6 hr trip. From the top down , website, boat, fish processing, and people, Big Blue Charters is grade A. We are already recommending Big Blue Charters to others, and will continue to do so. Hopefully, we will return to Sitka and fish with Capt. Mike again, (He is ornery as hell, but we like that!!) Thanks again for an AWESOME trip!!
