“What an amazing opportunity to fish with Mindy. She worked with our group to make sure we were always getting the most out of the time and opportunity we had to fish the Kenai. The logo on Mindy’s shirt said, “Come as clients and leave as family or friends,” truly, Mindy lives that! I will forever be grateful for Captain Mindy!”

We had a such a great time fishing with Luke! He got us to the fish and they were biting. We hope to return to the Kasilof in the future as this was our second time and we never go home disappointed. We will book our experience with Reubin and Mindy’s team again. It was easy to book and was perfect.

My family of 4 (myself, husband, 15 year old son, 18 year old daughter) went on a 1/2 day fishing charter with Alaskan Widespread Fishing last week. Our guide, Mindy, was wonderful. She supplied all of the fishing equipment as well as hip boots for all of us. We fished for sockeye salmon on the Kenai River. Mindy found us a place to fish away from the crowds and taught us what we needed to know to catch our salmon.

We had an epic two days fishing for sockeye salmon with our guides Garrett and Mindy!! I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants a great experience on the water! They are clear communicators, fun, and have top-notch knowledge of the salmon runs. From day 1 booking our fishing trips all the way until we got off the water, it was seamless. Thanks again Reubin and Mindy!
