Exclusive Alaska Guided Fishing & Wilderness Dining
Experience an authentic fishing excursion in the unspoiled wilderness of Alaska's coastline. You'll be outfitted with waterproof boots, bib overalls, hooded jacket, hat and gloves. Then, glide into a breathtaking landscape aboard a stable, custom, 19-foot skiff. Cast a line, and what you catch will become the fresh basis of a gourmet campsite meal! With only five guests per boat, your professional guide customizes the excursion to fit your interests and skill level. Along the way, you may view seals, eagles, whales, birds, porpoise, spawning salmon, and even bears. With quality fishing gear, hone your skills landing a variety of rockfish, cod, or Pacific halibut. After fishing, the skiff heads to a remote wilderness campsite, where a crackling fire awaits in the rain forest of ancient cedars and spruce. Here, you'll enjoy a gourmet meal of your own freshly caught fish, served atop a saffron-infused, bouillabaisse-inspired stew (no shellfish). Savor sourdough rolls with garlic-aioli spread, a signature rhubarb and blueberry bread pudding, and steaming mugs of coffee or hot chocolate. You'll leave having experienced the Alaskan way of life. Note: Participants must be at least 5 years of age, weigh at least 30 lbs. and no more than 300 lbs. and be physically active. We recommended that you wear warm, layered clothing. Actual fishing duration varies from two to three hours. Tour requires negotiating uneven terrain and the skiff is open to the elements. Alaska State Law requires a fishing license that can be purchased in cash at the outfitting room for $20.

Alaska Story Time with Aunt Phil, Alaska's First Serial Killer, Sept 3, 2018
In this episode of Alaska Story Time with Aunt Phil, which first aired on Anchorage CBS affiliate KTVA Daybreak Channel 11 on Sept. 3, 2018, Alaska's first-known serial killer is revealed.
Between 1912 and 1915, a number of single, unattached men mysteriously disappeared in Southeast Alaska. The few law enforcement officials in the territory were baffled, but a suspect finally emerged in the fall of 1915.
A Petersburg man named Edward Krause, who’d run for the Territorial Legislature as a Socialist Party candidate in 1912, represented himself as a U.S. Marshall to officials at the Treadwell Mine in Douglas in mid-September. Krause told the bosses that he had a court summons for mine worker James Christie.
Christie departed with the bogus lawman and was never seen again.
Managers of the mine investigated Christie’s disappearance, thinking it was related to problems and rivalries between the company and laborers. They thought Krause, a radical socialist, may have been a hired killer engaged by the violent wing of the labor union.
Then, when it was learned that Krause was identified as the last person to see a missing charter boat operator out of Juneau, a warrant for his arrest was issued on charges of impersonating a federal officer in the Christie case.
Krause escaped the clutches of the law in Ketchikan and jumped onboard a steamer heading for Seattle. But a savvy passenger, who had seen wanted posters plastered by the Treadwell Mining Company, recognized him as the man with a bounty on his head.
When the steamer docked in Puget Sound, police detectives were waiting. A search of Krause’s possessions turned up incriminating evidence including forged documents, bank accounts and real estate transactions, which tied him to not only the recent disappearances in Juneau, but to the disappearances of at least eight other men, too.
After Krause was returned to Alaska, his true identity surfaced. Krause was really Edward Slompke, who’d served with the U. S. Army at Wrangell in 1897 and deserted in 1902.
Authorities found that over the years Krause recovered the assets of the murdered men. They also learned that a “murder gang,” run by Krause at Petersburg, was involved in additional mysterious disappearances.
Krause’s trails started in the spring of 1917. Since none of his victims ever were found, jurors found him guilty of kidnapping, robbery and forgery among other charges. He was sentenced to die by hanging in Juneau.
Krause sawed through the bars of his cell and escaped from the Juneau Federal Jail two days before his slated execution. That launched the most widespread manhunt in the territory’s history.
Fishing fleets in every Southeast community mobilized to block his escape out of Alaska. A few days later, a homesteader collected the $1,000 reward by killing Krause after the fugitive stepped out of a stolen skiff onto the beach at Admiralty Island.
To this day, law enforcement believes the extent of Krause’s criminal activities, if ever known, would be one of the most startling in the annals of American crime history.

Alaskan Bars, Part 1
I got drunk at the Golden Eagle
started groping inappropriate people
they tossed me out of that old place
I had to wait five days just to show my face
Made my way down to the Fairview Inn
where the band got paid in chicken skin
I found a dog or the dog found me
and we both woke up in the fireweed
Pulled in late to the old Brown Bear
heard a song about a rocking chair
the fish were in with a little rain
Hitched on down the Turnagain
The Seaview's quiet on a Monday night
but when the humpies run it feels just right
the clouds rolled back and the river ran high
Ran into a friend and we got very very high
(but that's another song)
By the time we got to Kharacters
We sang with a mighty thirst
Future came and took my order
and poured one round of Kassik's Porter
Rolled on down to the Salty Dog
most definitely in a fog
Wrote your name on a greenback dollar
pinned it to a tourist's collar
Crossed the bay into Halibut Cove
warmed ourselves by a magic stove
If you want to take this same journey
don't do it alone, please take me
Boots in the slammer, Dirty's on the lam(x2)
Alaskan Bars Part I is over
I might have missed a few but now I'm sober
If you want part II then you're invited
to grab a pen, sit down and write it

Welcome to Ketchikan, Alaska
The Alaska Cruise Handbook: A Mile-by-Mile Guide
Ketchikan is known by many names. It is known as Alaska's First City because it's the first major community travelers come to as they journey north. Located on an island, Ketchikan began life as an Indian fishing camp. Born and raised on the salmon industry, the town has earned the title Salmon Capital of the World. The name Ketchikan comes from a Tlingit phrase that means eagle with spread-out wings, a reference to a waterfall near town. Many people know Ketchikan as the state's Rain Capita. Nevertheless, Ketchikan does have glorious sunny days - especially in the summer. The town occupies a prime spot on the Revilla Island. Ketchikan has a higher concentration of Native Alaskans than any other city in the state. Tlingit.There are several museums and heritage centers dedicated to the works and history of the North-West Native American tribes.
