Letter to Joe Connors:

Hi Joe,

Don't know if you remember me but I emailed you a lot several years ago with my problem of guide boats running right next to my shore line. I know you mentioned the problem to the association as there was a good improvement - many of the boats did their running in mid river which makes for a much smaller and slower wake. There were the usual rogue ones as well as some private boats that did some damage last fall and I just staked another 20 spruce trees along my bank to try and get the vegetation that has been lost started growing.

The reason for this email is that hopefully you can again mention my concern and ask that when transporting, they remain in mid river - there is plenty of depth now and the big rocks are right next to my shoreline so there is absolutely no reason to hug the shoreline.  I live just above mile 34 - about 200 yards above the Huske/Betty Lou easement. (the old proposed Grace Merkes bridge site)

At one of your members suggestion, I am posting this to your guestbook.

I have been granted a 4 month sabbatical and would like to find a summer job. I have worked for the California Department of Fish & Game for more than 25 years as a fishery biologist. During the last 20 years I have worked on salmon and steelhead issues in northern California.

My hobbies include: fishing, hunting, woodworking, bicycling, and kayaking. I own and operate a 17 ft Boston Whaler which I use to fish for salmon and bottomfish. I also have operated a jet boat and whitewater rafts. I have held Swiftwater Rescue Technician I certifications for the last 12 years and had one Wilderness First Aid course under my belt.

I will be available from June 1 through September 15. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Hello! I SOOO wish I had seen this website before booking a day of fishing on the Kenai. We got a guide who was 2 hours late and then very rude to us all day. For the amount of money we paid, I was shocked. We are all competent anglers and this guide was bizarre! We used Gwin's and didn't realize they were outsourcing us. LESSON LEARNED...! Others, be smart and use this site!

While we have some great fishing in our area (Anoka county, Minnesota) it is nice to web visit with other fishermen. Thanks for your great site.

Been dreaming for a very long time to fish in Alaska and looks like finally will be able to do it this summer. However, options are overwhelming! I have made my mind to find a place in the Kenai peninsula area. Will be traveling with my wife and my 2yr old son so I want a family-athmosphere lodging option. I will be the only one fishing (do you think finding a guide for a single fisherman would be a problem?). Our whole trip will be 14 days but only 3-4 will be devoted to fishing. Definitively I do not want to fish in crowded places (are fly-outs as the only option to avoid crowds?). I am a wildlife biologist myself so I do really want to experience the real Alaska. Any suggestions and ideas are welcome. Thanks and congrats on your website.

Hello from New Hampshire and congratulations on a great website. It has really helped us in planning our fishing trip to AK this year. Here's a suggestion for generating needed revenue for your catch-and-release program for King Salmon. Consider selling hats and tee shirts with the Hug A Hog name and logo depicted on the driftboat being donated by Willie Boats. Stuff like this really sells....Dave

I have a family of 5 (wife and 3 girls: 13,15,17 yrs of age) and we are planning a trip to Alaska for fishing, siteseeing, and what ever else we can do. We have never been to Alaska, but we have only heard about how great Alaska is. I am an experienced fisherman but my wife and girls are not. I would love for all of us to catch Salmon, halibut, sea bass, red snapper, etc. Could you please send me ideas and information that would accommendate my needs. example: where to stay and cost. Our trip will be about 8-10 days long but only fish for 2-3 days. I am open to all ideas
Thank you for your time
