What makes the Best of Alaska Tour the “Best of Alaska”? Our Best of Alaska trip takes you to the glaciers for an ice specific paddle, provides a meal, fishing for 4 hours for rock fish and salmon (in season), and sightseeing to the National Park, all in the same day, in a small group…

Minnesota Sportsman’s Show View this email in your browser Thank you for stopping by our booth at the Minnesota Sportsman’s Show in Saint Paul – our very first trade show! We appreciate your time talking with us, you may have been able to tell but Capt. Chance was very nervous! The overwhelming warmth and friendliness of the convention participants, both those exhibiting and those passing through, was incredible. Learning experiences walking away from the show were plentiful: An overwhelming majority of people were interested or surprised to hear that their trip to Alaska could be arranged at whatever budget they wanted to work with.  That the trip they always wanted to do didn’t have to be at an all inclusive lodge or remote location.  Our being on the road system and having direct flights from Minneapolis made the dream to…

        Miller’s Landing welcomes an addition to the crew View this email in your browser We had to do it. Folks, all great things come to an end. Sometimes, that means an amazing opportunity for a new beginning and we think this is one of those times. We have arranged to replace our tried and true 6 passenger fishing platform the Michael C with a brand new custom built inspected landing craft.  For those that loved the Michael C, that doesn’t mean she’s getting put on the shelf – it just means we had to face the facts with the soon to come cost of a repower, and it boiled down to the hard truth that replacement was a smarter choice. This boat – a high tunnel, high speed, USCG inspected passenger transporting aluminum catamaran has been designed through collaboration with…

Halibut Harvest Guidelines Are In – or – David and Goliath, Trawlers Win? Well guys, it’s official. The 2015 Halibut Harvest Guidelines have been released by the IPHC (International Pacific Halibut Commission).  There are some new rules this year! First of all, carried over from 2014 is the 1 halibut of any size, 1 halibut under 29″ rule.  This means that if we limit out, one of the fish is required to be smaller.  We’re fortunate in area 3A to not be limited to 1 halibut per person, like in some areas of the state.   Also, the crew of the boat are not allowed to retain halibut themselves – this is an effort to reduce overall catch by the charter fleet by not allowing the captain and deckhand as crew members to retain halibut. Additionally, only 1 halibut charter…

One of the great things about the Holidays is it brings family together. For us, that means that the folks we took fishing and kayaking all summer are in the same room again, chatting about their experiences.  This often leads to a kind letter, a photograph or two, and sometimes even a nice card arriving…
