First Cast Fishing Customer Reviews

My wife and I had an incredible experience on our Alaskan salmon fishing trip, all thanks to Captain Gabriel. His expertise was apparent from the start, as he quickly put us on a fantastic location for Coho Salmon. What really set him apart was his patience and kindness. He was a...

Gabriel is an exceptional guide! His knowledge of the water is incredible—he has a true knack for knowing exactly where to take us for a successful trip. Gabriel embodies professionalism; to say he was excellent would be an understatement. I highly recommend him to anyone looking...

Captain Gabe was a superb guide! Not only was he great company, but he also took the time to teach us exactly how to fish for silver and pink salmon right from the river. We had a brilliant time on the water, and the knowledge he shared made our amazing salmon dinner taste even b...

Captain Gabe was absolutely awesome with our family, and especially patient and kind with our 5-year-old! He's a truly great teacher who made the entire experience fun and educational. We had a blast and, most importantly, everyone caught fish! Highly recommend Gabe for any famil...

Forget everyone else—Gabriel is the only guide you need! He is truly an expert who knows exactly what he's doing, even showing us how to spot salmon in rough waters. He went above and beyond, taking my 17-year-old out separately for a special one-on-one lesson to ensure he made a...

We booked a half-day trip with Gabe after our cruise, and it couldn’t have gone smoother. Gabe picked us up in town right on time and was friendly from the start. He provided all the rods and waders we needed and patiently helped some of our group across the shallow creek areas. ...

Gabe and Luis were awesome! We had a great time, caught a lot of fish! Hope to fish with them again next time we come to Alaska!

The type of people you want to go fishing with, they were extremely helpful and had all the gear we needed. Both guides had a great sense of humor and made the trip enjoyable. We also caught plenty of fish.

We had a great time on our fishing trip! Even with the stormy weather, we still had fun, and our captain’s knowledge and guidance made the experience even better.

We booked a group trip with Gabe on a day with less-than-ideal weather, not expecting much success. To our surprise, we all managed to catch fish! While dropping off our catch to be flash frozen, others coming off a boat in Seward remarked how impressed they were with the amount ...

Gabe is an exceptional guide. Despite less-than-ideal conditions—typical for Seward in August—heavy rain the night before our trip caused the creeks and rivers we planned to fish to swell to unsafe levels. We made the best of it and managed to land a few chum salmon. Gabe was cal...

This trip was a 10 out of 10 from start to finish. Gabe was fantastic at staying in communication, even with last-minute changes to our schedule. My 15-year-old son and husband had an unforgettable time, catching as many fish as they could and limiting out on pink salmon. They go...

We were first-timers, and it took us a while to get the hang of casting, reeling, and snagging properly. Gabe and Luis were incredible teachers, full of patience and guidance. Although we only caught two salmon between the four of us, we still had an amazing time and created unfo...

I had a fantastic time with Gabe. He taught us the basics of fishing for silvers and pinks and even showed us some excellent spots in Seward where we could catch more fish on our own. I appreciated Gabe's guidance on the necessary gear and his willingness to share some of his fav...
