Yesterday
Fishing and hunting guides, air charter /
flying services, lodges,
(providers of outdoor recreational services)
advertised their
own businesses. Magazines, sport & travel shows,
a few
national booking agents, then and now the best,
"word of mouth"
advertising was the mode of operation.
Advertising
Today
"Times Are Changing " !
The traditional advertising still
exists and even many of us
"Old Timers" have also embraced The
Internet !
Through remarkable advertising, including even Super
Bowl ads,
Alaska has experienced unprecedented growth in
tourism.
This economic impact has attracted a multitude
of new people and
New Businesses Ranging From "Superb" To
"Something You Do Not Want
But Very Likely Might Get
You
Be The Judge
Incompetent, inexperienced, unprofessional,
unfriendly sob's exist
in the guiding industry because someone, (by mistake
?) paid them.
In conversation with us, we will not make derogatory
comments
concerning other guides, guide services, or other
businesses.
We Do Take A Great Deal Of Pride And Personal
Satisfaction
in the services we provide. That's our No. 1 job
priority.
Negative comments or downgrading others can not make
our service to you better.
We're "Too
Big" To "
Belittle" !

Fishing In ALASKA Is Big Dollar Business
Those hard earned dollars come from people
just like you.
Anytown, USA, if there's money to be made, there
will be a ton
of people jumping on the bandwagon, or,
"fishing" wagon.
Some Straight Forward ~ Some Less Than
Straight Forward
Don't Choose a "Bent One" You
Have The Choice !
For
Your Assurance ~ Do Your Homework
Choose A Full-time Professional Fishing Guide
Service
That truly cares about your entire ALASKA Fishing
Vacation
One that needs not only your prior approval
But also your friend's approval after you've gone
home
That's the one, "above
& beyond money"
That will hang it out & go the distance for you
The
Economic Growth Of Sport Fishing
Has Attracted "The Part Time Guide"
and "The Retiree Guide"
It allows "The Story Teller ~ We Only
Catch Big Fish Guide"
and "The Cut Rate ~ I'll Make Ya A Deal
Guide" to marginally and
usually temporarily do business. And, your
worst nightmare,
"The Offensive 's.o.b.' Guide", will
find new clients again this year.
Don't Be One Of Them !
The
part time guide isn't depending on you for his
livelihood.
Is his No. 1 occupational priority to "FISH
YOU" as a repeat client?
He's not giving up his "daytime
job" ! The story teller needs to BS you
himself instead of providing references to honestly
inform you.
Low priced guides are at least honest and know
the value of their product.
If they were experienced and competent, they'd
be booked at a higher price.
There
are offensive s.o.b.'s in the "fishing
business" who are good fishermen.
Sometimes you, less experienced "in
their arena", ruin their whole day !
How will you react when you, your son or wife gets
a royal chewing-out for losing a lure or backlashing
a reel?
There'll be hell to pay if a rod gets broken. !
And...I Paid For This !

Who Is Also A Capable & Competent Fishing Guide
The
"Bed & Breakfast & Lodging
Industry"
has spawned a real Web
Of Misunderstanding for the consumer.
Many of these new ventures are beautiful and an
appealing atmosphere
to spend a week. Some are not! QUESTION ? Many
feature guided fishing
and speak of "our guides". They can
generally get you "the best guides
at a reasonable rate" and they have fished with
them. From observation,
know the "best, better, or whatever term one
chooses, is booked through
his own effort & reputation and not working as a
sub contractor for a B&B,
tackle shop, hotel, lodge, or booking agent. Avoid
the middleman.
Who Will Be "Our"
Guide ?
When
Is The Best Time To Come ?
#1 ASKED QUESTION
What Answer Do You Expect To Hear ? !
If
I were speaking to the owner, representative,
or agent of a "Lodge" or
B&B, I would want to know if he makes most
of his money from fishing
or lodging ! As previously stated, many of
these facilities, even though very
attractive, have "NO GUIDE" at home! The
main source of income is lodging.
When does this business say, "This is the
best time"! Is it determined by
"Fishing" or more likely when
"Vacancies Exist In Lodging"?
We Are Fishing Guides and Include Waterfront Lodging
In Our
Fishing Vacation
Packages.
We Are Not In The Lodging
Business!
We
respond to the "When Is The Best Time To
Come" ? question
based on your personal needs & interests with
regard to FISHING.
"The
"Lure" Of Easy Money"
Be A Fishing Guide !!
Travel, entertainment, fishing, fresh air and
"the good times"
all rolled into into one job! Spending a week
fishing & enjoying
Alaska with you ~ Who wouldn't want to be a fishing
guide ?
This concept has certainly attracted enough people!
Guides and those who ADVERTISE themselves as guides.
"There
is scarcely anything in the world that some man can
not make
a little worse and sell a little more
cheaply.
The person who Buys On Price Alone Is This Man's
Lawful Prey."
John Ruskin
We do readily recognize Quality
Services not only in the fishing but
the tourism industry in general. If we do not
provide the services you seek, we
will gladly assist you in any way we can. We are
friendly & here to help YOU.
Help
Yourself
Give a little "research" to your
fishing vacation like you did the purchase
of your car or this computer. Chances are you
didn't buy the cheapest if you
had certain expectations for their performance. We
wouldn't expect the same
performance from the shortstop on the company
softball team as we would
the shortstop for the Yankees. And... "No
Yankee" fishes at cut-rate prices !
If
You Expect A "Quality Vacation"
Deal With Quality People
The
"Bitterness Of Low Quality" Remains
Long After The "Sweetness Of Low Price" Is
Forgotten
