wrrite this better. I setup an Alaskan deep sea fishing tour for my father in law and myself. It was always his dream to do a trip like this and I wanted to make that happen. I don’t really have a lot of time in my day so I simply googled who the best halibut charter company was and this one popped up, so I called. Chad picked up the phone and talked through everything with me so I went ahead and just booked it. I just felt comfortable so figured why not. Well, we just got back and let me tell you, I definitely made the right choice. I received emails for everything, and had the best crew. Zev knew everywhere to go and was just so friendly. Christian walked us through what to expect, what to look for on the reels, basically everything for a person that doesn’t normally fish. He even took the time to fillet everything we caught just to help us out. I’m a pretty harsh critic, and honestly can’t think of a single thing that I would have changed. So much so that this turned from a once in a lifetime trip to us planning on coming back to do it all over again.
