    Who else is running an AirBnb property?

    Ah yes the ole ruining communities argument. My cabin is a 4000 square foot house directly on Lake Superior, would this have been better served as a nice little starter home for a couple in a community that literally depends on tourism to survive? In 2023 I’ve spent 140k on mine in the form of...

    Who else is running an AirBnb property?

    You're not the only one. There are a lot of STR's that are ran through larger management companies and for the most part they are all complete crap, the service is terrible. Can't imagine actually needing something when on vacation from one of those groups. A little pro-tip is if you like...

    Braggin Board for Fishing!

    Just east of Hudson. Spend most of my time locally chasing roosters and whitetails and spend quite a bit of time out west too. Since we started going to AK I don’t fish much around home anymore other than occasionally on our cabin on Lake Superior.

    Who else is running an AirBnb property?

    I own a ton of long term rentals and a couple STRs; I have a 4000 square foot cabin on Lake Superior I rent out full time and 2 in Homer, Alaska. It can all be done on your phone, it’s honestly probably easier to hop on a call with you and I can give you a couple tips to run it more efficiently...

    Braggin Board for Fishing!

    Those are kings/silvers attached. Only pic I snagged of the reds after snagging in China Poot. Nice sized too.

    Braggin Board for Fishing!

    Our annual AK trip didn’t disappoint. Freezer full of kings, silvers, yelloweye, few reds, halibut, and ling cod. Man I love Homer, got to introduce some family members who have never experienced AK and we killed em!

    Best kid one liners

    My 4 year old had one of his better ones. He wakes up in the AM and is yelling for me, I walk into the bathroom and see him at a full-morning wood. Points down with both hands at it, "Dad, what are we gonna do about this?" I completely lost my shit laughing, walked him through the tried and...

    When I'm Not Hunting, or Riding, I'd Rather be Fishing

    The video is even more impressive. Go up there snagging reds when they're running one time. It's the dumbest, most fun I've ever had fishing in my life. Just not a lick of sport involved, cast a giant ass treble hook across a river and start ripping. We couldn't plane the boat out on the way...

    When I'm Not Hunting, or Riding, I'd Rather be Fishing

    I used to fish a lot around home, but 90% of that stopped once we started going to AK. Still enjoy catching a few Lakers on Lake Superior but man it’s tough to stay interested around home when I can just grab some halibut or salmon out or the freezer.

    Alaska fishing recommendations…

    If salmon is what you want I’d probably look at Seward for silvers when they’re running. If a fly in trip is the goal you’ll have a hard time beating SE Alaska, Sitka would fit the bill. Tons of kings and silvers. If halibut is what you’re after many different harbors will be able to satisfy...

    How do you feed your dog?

    PPP 30/20 for our golden. We did the 2x/day thing until he was about 4 months and it got to a point where he wasn’t ever finishing it so we just said to hell with it and let him graze throughout the day. He sticks between low to mid 60#s depending on if it’s running/hunting/recovery season. He...

    Hunting Etiquette. 2 tags 1 week of hunting.

    We do a simple alternate elk encounters, it's usually clear if it counts as an encounter or not. That way if one day the action is hot with multiple call-ins the guy that hunts the next day and doesn't hear a bugle doesn't get screwed. It works well for us, split the meat regardless and if one...

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    The Amazon advice is gold. Tons of people have bought knockoffs on their site and it ends up in disaster. Only buy directly from the source (ledger or wherever else you decide). It can happen, I lost enough to buy a nice truck on celsius (I may get something back but I’ve accepted I’ll...

    Mans best friend - shooting vs euthanasia

    I won't be able to do it, mine is only 7 but I know that we're probably past the halfway point of his life and I have thought about it some. He hates the vet, but I have no problem shelling out a few hundred bucks for the vet to come to our house to do it. I don't want my last memory of my...

    The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

    Not your keys not your crypto. I'll buy through Binance.us or Paypal and then immediately transfer the assets to Ledger, I got caught up in the Celsius debacle and lost a ton on that, I'll never have another cent in a soft wallet. Everything will be offline for me forever in the crypto space.

    Another AK Fishing kind of thread

    I only go to Homer, I've got a couple Airbnb's there, seems like this topic has come up every couple days over the last few weeks. Definitely stay in an Airbnb/VRBO and book your own charters. Dexter's timing above is gold in my opinion if salmon is your target. Silver's should be in by late...

    Planning Family Alaska Trip

    Last summer we traveled with a 3 year old and an 8 week old to Homer, so it can be done. I'd recommend you "switch off" with your wife doing fun things. We were up there to get some work done on our Airbnb's so it was basically the older one running rampant around the house while my wife kept...

    Field Bred Goldens

    Field bred golden will fit your description. We just studded ours out for the 2nd time, big dope with the kids but a killer pheasant dog. He's got a great off-switch, big dope around the house but a predator in the cattails. Make sure you don’t get a show line, they can be worthless. As...

    Grade 2 ACL injury. Wait til after hunting season?

    I'm a PT- a lot of good advice here. At your age class I generally recommend let's give rehab a shot first and see how that goes. Even if you fly home right this second and have surgery it's not a guarantee you're going to be full go in the woods by September. Some surgeries and rehab's go...

    Latest Alaska Intel fishing

    Everyone is pretty much spot on. My buddy runs a couple charters out of Homer. The emergency king ruling of only one/day will certainly hurt his Tuesday/Wednesday bookings with halibut not being on the menu. They're talking about cutting rockfish as well, tough sell to get someone to pay...
