    Alaska fish timing

    Have had a boat in Ketchikan for the last 12 yrs and we wish the south and east side quite a bit. August should be excellent for coho, might be a few pink stragglers in the salt. Kings will be spotty, over by Craig would be the best bet for Kings. Halibut and rockfish will be good about anywhere

    Harvest Right freeze driers? Worthy purchase?

    I've had one for a little over a year. It works great on tomatoes, onions, peppers and such. I've freeze dried leftovers like chicken and noodles and they've turned out great. I've also had good luck with hamburger, just drain it good. I usually freeze the trays in the freezer before freeze...

    Transporter for Alaska Boat Based Black Bear/Fishing Combo

    I've heard good things about Dalin Hunts and Guiding out of Ketchikan. I don't know what all they offer. A quick search turned up several more in southeast AK. Glacier guides is top notch but spendy

    Any fellow South Dakotans want to go hunt Alaska for black bear?

    I'm from north central NE and while I'm probably not interested in a hunt I've had a boat in Ketchikan for 13 yrs. There are some great bears around so be patient. My daughter shot a boone and crockett on Revillagegdo Is. a few years ago. If you have any questions on logistics ask away.

    DIY Saltwater Fishing Trip to Prince of Wales Island

    For salmon trolling with flasher and lure/hootchie or cut plug herring should be effective. Mooching with cut plug also works well if there are good numbers around.

    DIY Saltwater Fishing Trip to Prince of Wales Island

    Looks like there is some good looking halibut grounds right outside the bay. The 30 fathom areas. There should be pinks and chums in the creeks that time of year, the silvers will be showing up in the salt. For halibut a 14/0-20/0 circle hook with however much weight it takes to hold bottom...

    Meat Care Equipment Priorities

    I finally bought an electric stuffer and I really like it. It's a 30# and I make a lot of brauts and ground jerky. The thing I really like is that one person can operate it.

    Freeze Dried Foods

    I finally got a freeze dryer and it's very easy to make your own meals. If you're not planning on storing them for 20 yrs its even easier. I've done a lot of meals with hamburger or sausage in them and just drain the grease off and freeze dry and it's worked well. Whenever I'm making a meal...
