Testimonials

“I thought I would take the time to tell everyone how great Wipe-Out Charters is at fishing. My Father and I took our first charter with Capt. Rick as a Father’s Day gift hoping to catch a few lunkers. Well we got alot more than we expected when we came back with 9 fish, and that was in rainy/cold weather!!! All around it was a wonderful experiance, the boat is great, the crew is knowledgeable and helpful and the fish are Top Notch. After having so much fun the first time, this is now a yearly event for us having went the past 2 years, and I will surely keep on going with the quality of fish we keep bringing back.”
“Thanks Capt. Rick…..We’ll see you again next year.”

Mr. Lazarowicz was kind enough to give us some pictures from his last trip to display on our website along with this testimonial. They can be viewed here.

“In August of 2002, Capt. Rick took us out on a morning salmon run out of Alpena. Our first impression of the Wipeout was that it was a new, clean, well equipped, and well maintained vessel. Capt. Rick and First Mate Stan greeted us at the Alpena Launch, and were ready to depart as soon as we arrived. After the 40 minute commute to the hot spot, and a few Dunkin’ Donuts, Rick had the lines set in a matter of a few minutes. Within another ten minutes, we had our first fish on.”

“We had a very productive day netting at least a dozen fish. There were four of us fishing, so we decided not to keep them all. We were all amateurs, so the experiance and knowledge of Capt. Rick kept us in check. After a few quick lessons, we were pulling rods and setting hooks, without many mistakes. We ended up with seven Chinook Salmon, one Atlantic Salmon and a Lake Trout. The largest was about 48 inch’s and 25 pounds.”
“I will undoubtedly request the services of Rick Konecke in the future, We had a great time and recieved a great value for our money. Thanks Rick, We will be back!”
