September 25, 2022King fishing guide of Ketchikan – If you’re trying to get on some fish, Lucas is your guy! Went fishing 5 times in Ketchikan and never had more success than with Lucas at the helm.

We caught so many fish!

If you want to catch fish go with him. He has really good spots and talks you through everything you need to do when you’re fishing. I’m not the most experienced fisherman in the world and Lukas made it easy!!Hjohnson439
November 5, 2022The best in Ketchikan – Our Capt. Lukas is one of the best fishing guides in Ketchikan, if not the whole of Alaska. His dedication to the ebb and flow of the tide. He sees… read more the ocean not for the surface but as the contour lines of a chart. He envisions the crevasses where the lingcod hold and the ancient sand that cascade deep to where halibut prowl. His sense is on the vast, the boundaries, the edge. At the same time, his eyes are on the absurd, the lone bird working the final push of herring or the up-dwelling Current kissing the resistance of a breeze. At night when fish sleep, they have nightmares of Lukas coming for them. If you are lucky enough to see this man work firsthand, you will see how he leaves it all out on the court. Whatever the condition, whatever the weather he is pushing for you to experience. I can wholeheartedly recommend him!

Awesome guide – Couldn’t ask for a better guide! Put us right on the fish immediately! I would definitely book with them again!
November 2, 2022Ketchikan Fishing Charter – Lucas, our captain, provided an excellent tour. He knew exactly where the fish were hiding. We caught our limit of halibut then fished for salmon. We ended up with over… read more 40 pounds of filets. I highly recommend this tour, ask for Lucas, you won’t be disappointed!
September 13, 2022Bucket List Worthy and Family Memories – Thank you Captain Lukas for the fishing trip of a lifetime. Monster lings and coho for days, you really know your stuff. Me and the fam will be back next… read more year. I have fished Alaska several times and never had such a fantastic day on the water till I found Captain Lukas. A bartender at the Artic Bar reccomended him as the best charter captain in SE Alaska, so we tracked him down and booked it. Best decision yet. He put us on the fish and was an expert in his field. Depending on the tide, moon phase or weather conditions he has it so dialed in that he knows exactley where to go when. This lets you maximize your time on the water and really put some blood on the deck. thank you again for memories the family will never forget. Pro tip of the year big halibut love camo!!!
September 12, 2022A whole bunch of fish – Fishing with Lucas was excellent . Was constantly on the fish. Even on days when nobody was catching, WE WERE !!! Lucas is who you want for a guide. HAD… read more A GREAT TIME.
October 9, 2022Lucus put us on the fish all day. Awesome trip and awesome Captain. We look forward to fishing with Lucus agin soon.

November 14, 2022Fantastic Experience – Had a great time with Captain Lukas on a multi day fishing trip. We had two incredible days catching the maximum allowed amount of silver salmon (coho), halibut and lingcod… read more both days. Also landed many Rockfish, some Pink and a King salmon. Then two days of normal fishing catching halibut and flounder. Combination of trolling and bottom fishing. Prepare to jig! I took home 50lbs of fish. The fish are taken to a processing plant and packaged. I picked up the boxes on my way to the airport and checked them as baggage. On top of great fishing, we were fortunate enough to see humpback whales taking breaths behind and around the boat. Truly surreal. The boat was nice and clean. Fit five mostly large men comfortably. Captain Luke was friendly, knowledgeable and an extremely hard worker. Running the boat, baiting hooks, watching the lines, checking weather, netting fish, while keeping an eye on the people. All being done in what felt like a safe and controlled manner. I highly recommend fishing with Captain Luke. We had a great time and hope to make this a regular trip.
