Our Captains

Mike White, Captain of the It'L'Do  

Captain Mike White ~ IT'L'DO

There is no question that Mike is a fishing veteran, as he has been a captain for 20 years. He has been a year-round resident of Sitka for many years and has extensive knowledge and great respect for the local waters. Mike is one heck of a salmon fisherman and great at sharing his knowledge with anyone who comes aboard his vessel. Fishing with Mike is bound to make you want to come back time and time again.




Juan Belcher, Captain of the High Roller

Captain Juan "Johnny Rockfish" Belcher ~ HIGH ROLLER

Johnny has been one with the sea for as long as anyone can remember. Starting as a commercial diver at age 14, and eventually moving on to Alaska Premier Charters in 1996, Johnny rarely seems to leave the water. Johnny has also been a commercial halibut long-liner for over 10 years, which has given him ample experience in the migration and distribution patterns of halibut. As all-time winner of the McGyver award, and with his natural flair for good fishing stories and non-stop entertainment, fishing with Johnny is a unique experience.




Jeff Ching, Captain of the Full House  

Captain Jeff Ching ~ FULL HOUSE

Jeff was born and raised in the Seattle area and is a graduate of Washington State University. He came to Sitka in 1997 as a deckhand and became a skipper in 2000. Jeff has a great passion for fishing and the ocean. His proven angling techniques, his easy-going nature, and his abundant knowledge of the history of the area make for a memorable experience for all who have the pleasure of fishing with him. Fishing with Jeff guarantees a wonderful and relaxing fishing vacation.




Greg Trevarthen, Captain of the Triple Play  

Captain Greg Trevarthen ~ TRIPLE PLAY

Greg is known around the lodge as "G-Money" and has been fishing in Sitka for many seasons. His knowledge of the area makes him one of the greats when it comes to finding the best King Salmon in the sea. Greg has put three clients on top of the derby-winning King Salmon, most recently in June 2008. He is personable, easy-going, level-headed, and has a keen instinct when it comes to finding that special fish. He has developed "the gene" and uses it to his advantage.
