2007 TESTIMONIALS - PUT YOUR PICTURE HERE NEXT
YEAR!
Jeff, as you know I have been visiting my relatives up in Ketchikan for over
45 years. We have experienced the beauty of Alaska and made many friends along
the way including you and your father (I would have made more but they tore down
the Marine Bar). I can tell you this. You and your family have provided one of
the finest Lodging and Fishing destinations around!!
Everything you have done is first class. Any group coming to visit, whether it
is old timers like me or new travelers will be overwhelmed by the turn key
operation you have. I mean, where can you go and within 3 hours from Seattle,
sit in a 20' Northriver boat that same day and yell (and I am good at that) fish
on!!!
Just for the record, this is how the fish count went---In 9 days, we caught 143
Silvers. The largest was 17.8lbs. The average was about 9lbs, 36 were over
12lbs. In all 6 people took home over 350lbs of my "BIG JOHNSON/KETCHIKAN KID"
expertly filleted fish. That does not include the fish we had on the BBQ.

They came and they conquered. Mick had this place dialed in 3
days & his guide job offer at Chinook Shores still stands!

Dear Alan,
We want to thank you for a fantastic charter trip. It was such a treat for my
husband.
We were able to send the fish to Tampa and it arrived frozen – thank goodness!
It is a 5-star treat every time we have a halibut dinner! Brian is ready to come
back for more!
Kindest regards, Wendela and Brian Jackson -Tampa, Florida – Ketchikan AK June,

The TrI-Lett Crew came back and did it again. These guys are golden & they make
a fine fish stand. Ketchikan Alaska Fishing July, 2007

The HWP group has fished Canada & Alaska for 15 years and have
been here 3 times in the last two years – they’ll be back in 2008. They broke
their previous 4 day catch record in 3 days with fewer people at Chinook Shores
in Ketchikan Alaska.

This picture is truly worth a thousand words. This was Mindy’s
first fish of the morning fishing at Chinook Shores and she never looked back.
She went on to catch more Kings, silvers & halibut, which got her into some good
prize Money.

I want to thank you again for a wonderful time. It was my
first Alaska trip. In my many adventures of different places in the world I’ve
been lucky to fish, this ranks right up there. I will be letting my TV and radio
show friends know about your place. We are always looking for a new place to go
to and this is it.

Jeff, from all of us in the Hamre fishing party we wanted to
thank you and your Father for the Hospitality and for the first class facility.
We had the time of our life with lots of video and memories to look back at. I
have been passing on your info to everyone I work with so I hope to bring you
more business. How's Bobs (Hali)But Hole. Has it produced anymore Halibut since
we left?? Again THANK YOU from all of us we hope to return next year.
Tom Hamre – Fishing at Chinook Shores in Ketchikan Alaska July, 2007
Just wanted to tell you I had great time fishing at Chinook
shores. It was a fishing trip to remember. Accommodations were excellent, the
boats were top quality and your help was beyond my expectations. I’ll be back
next year with more friends in tow.
You’re Friend,
Matthew Houghton – July 2007
Jeff - Thank you for having us at your lodge. Our stay at
Chinook Shores was even better than we'd anticipated. Your family's hospitality
was above and beyond, and we sure appreciated the warm welcome. Fishing was
great (please also extend a thanks to Allen). The views of the sunsets from the
chalet were unforgettable. Also, your dogs made great companions for the boys.
We plan to return next summer. Hope to see you all then.
Many more thanks, the Wise and Mercer families – Ketchikan Alaska Fishing August
