Captain Steve's Fishing Lodge
~ About Our Lodge ~
Captain
Steve Smith is a second generation master fisherman.
It runs
in the family... He and his father Jim, and brothers Chris & James
all have a lifetime of professional fishing and guiding experience in the
San Francisco Bay Area which is also famous for salmon and other sport fish. Jim
Smith owns and operates the famous Happy Hooker sport fishing boat, and James
Smith operates his charter boat California
Dawn (both in Berkeley, California).
Skipper
Chris Smith owned the Captain Hook for many years before opting to move north
to Alaska to join his brother Steve.
Captain
Steve started as a deckhand for his dad at 12 years old and by 1988 obtained
his 100 Ton Master Captain's License. After a few visits to Alaska
left him in awe of the shear size and volume of monster fish, he moved
to Ninilchik and settled down. There was not much in the way of quality
accommodations in this area of Cook Inlet and the Kenai Peninsula and soon
Captain Steve and his wife LeAnne planned for and opened their own very special
fishing lodge to provide first class accommodations to their fishing friends.
That
was in 1991, and they have been fishing ever since...
In
2007 the lodge was redesigned and remodeled with a whole new polished look.
24 guests can relax in a huge place with room to roam inside and out. “Creature
comforts” are their greatest concern and Captain Steve’s Fishing
Lodge provides everything Alaska has to offer; fine dining, billiards, hot tub
and many other amenities are inside. A deluxe full
service bar is coming soon. Outside, there are miles of trails for
hiking and nature watching and every other Alaskan outdoors activity to compliment
fishing for the world’s largest of several
species of sport fish.
Lodge staff
members are there for everything on the water or on land, in the lodge or
while out to play; all you have to do is show up. And they can even pick you
up at Anchorage, Kenai or Homer airports, or at any of the local cruise ship
ports of call! Or, just rent a car and enjoy the drive while stopping off
at all sorts of interesting detours along the Alaska Highway.
When
you get to the lodge, you will catch fish. Lots of big fish.
When
it is time to go, all contingencies are covered. Your catch will be
professionally prepared for restaurant quality and packaged for travel or
shipping.
You will
take away the memories of a lifetime! Whether you look up and see a flock of
bald eagles or look down into a school of monster fish, or you get so close
that you can smell a bunch of bears fishing for big, fat King Salmon... you
will find it hard not to talk about it for years..!
Bring
lots of film... otherwise, no one will believe you!
A personal
note from Captain Steve:
“I
have been guiding here in Alaska for 20 years and still find it hard to sleep
the night before a fishing trip... I get so excited because each trip
is THE trip of a lifetime for our fishermen. I never get
used to it!”
Our digital conference
room is "State of the Web" and designed
for serious business needs even in our remote Alaska location!
