    Captain Lucas consistently delivers outstanding fishing experiences out of Hoonah, and these reviews paint a picture of someone who genuinely knows these waters. Guests rave about nonstop action, particularly with halibut, with many mentioning sore arms from reeling in so many fish. The operation feels refreshingly authentic—locally owned, family-run, and far removed from typical cruise ship tourist crowds. Lucas picks guests up right near the dock with seamless logistics, and communication from him and his wife Brenda keeps everyone well-informed before the trip. Beyond the excellent catch rates, what stands out is Lucas's local knowledge and genuine hospitality. He shares stories about the area (he was born in Hoonah), points out wildlife like bears, whales, and sea otters, and creates a relaxed atmosphere that works for all experience levels. The boat itself gets praise for being spacious, clean, and well-equipped. This feels like the real deal for travelers seeking an authentic Alaskan fishing adventure with a knowledgeable local captain who'll put you on the fish.

    I can not recommend Game Creek Guides and our captain Lucas enough! We booked a halibut fishing excursion and it did not disappoint! We were catching SO many halibut and Salmon that we actually had to take a break so we could rest our arms! The ship was clean and well equipped and Lucas is so knowledgeable and friendly, we hope to be able to get back some day and do it again! As a bonus we even got to see a sea otter and some adorable seals sleeping away the afternoon!! If you are going to book a charter BOOK THIS ONE!!!! Thank you Lucas for such an amazing, memorable day!
