About the Boat You’ll Be Fishing On:

Miller's Landing only chooses the best boats and most experienced Captains to book your charters with.  Here we will describe a little about Mike Miller, owner of Miller's Landing, and his boat.  The F/V MICHAEL C. 

The Miller’s Landing fishing boat is an aluminum, 32 foot twin diesel ex-commercial fishing boat with full electronics and is piloted by Captain Mike Miller, Alaskan homesteader and lifelong Alaskan. The boat has ample deck space for fishing, and full electronics (fish finder, GPS, loran, radar). The cabin is heated and there is a restroom (head) available on the boat. Our boats are some of the fastest in the fleet. Traveling to the halibut and salmon areas in record time allows plenty of time to fish on either a half or full day fishing trip. Charters are limited to six people for a more private and individualized fishing. Because we moor our boat at the Landing instead of the boat harbor, book directly rather than using a booking agent, don't have the higher overhead of boats using these services, we can often pass the savings on to the customer. So ask about early booking discounts or special rates for larger groups. We also make fishing reservations for almost all of the other top of the line boats, running six person charters or 12-24 person charters, and will help place you on a quality fishing boat when our boats are full.

About the Captain…

Captain Mike Miller is a lifelong Alaskan whose family homesteaded here (and survived the 1964 earthquake). Mike has been a fisherman, or marine engineer all his life, and fishes at both commercial fishing and sport charter fishing. Captain Mike grew up in a family of commercial fishermen. After a flood damaged their home in 1957 the family spent five years on the remote island of LaTouche where he and 5 other children were home schooled by their mother, Penny. Returning to the homestead in the early 60's, they weathered a fire in 1963 losing their home.

In the earthquake of 1964 the rebuilt home survived, but both commercial fishing vessels were a total loss. In the summer of '64 the family started a campground and boat rental business to make ends meet. Though the business was only open for four years, it made such an impression on young Mike that in 1982 he started Miller's Landing. Fishing is a labor of love for Mike and today he is considered one of the local experts. Our clients enjoy fishing with Captain Mike while he shows them the waters and land he knows so well. Sherrie (Mike's wife) is also a licensed Captain, and helps out with the water taxi services.

The Miller's two sons (Chance and Tommy) both grew up on the homestead too, and are also good fishermen. They sometimes deckhand for their father on the charter boats, and are learning the fishing trade (which is traditionally handed down through experience).

About the Deckhands …

Perhaps the reason we do so well on our charters is because we have two Captains working for you on the same boat! Capt. Mike Goff (acting as Deckhand)  was born in southern California. Grew-up fishing Catalina Island and the Mexican waters. He then ventured to the Pacific Northwest where he lived for many years fishing the San Juan Islands for all types of salmon. After meeting his wife, Margee, they traveled to the Mariana Islands in the South Pacific. For two years Mike was a captain taking tourists fishing for Marlin, Wahoo, Yellow-fin Tuna, and Rainbow Runners. Mike loves to fish and help others catch fish.

Caring For Your Fish After The Charter…

Miller’s Landing will fillet your fish when the charter comes in and can package them and freeze them in our freezer for you overnight. There is no set charge for this service, although it is customary to tip the deckhand and Captain whatever you feel is fair for the amount of fish caught and the time it took them to clean the fish.

If you need your fish sent home, smoked, or processed further, Miller’s Landing staff will be happy to help you arrange this. We recommend three local fish processors, and all three do an excellent job.
