Where is this?

For many years, the place on which this restaurant sits was in the official records as producing more of a sport-caught fish than any other place in the world - odd because very, very few are caught or landed there! Nothing like having your biology right in order to base decisions!

 

The place is worlds away from Homer...The restaurant will let me come and bring my family and give me proper service but I cannot bring one paying client by their rules. Hmmm... Why would that be?
I'm going out for four hours. cya in a bit

 

yes mate, but s,all over now tt got g,dansk correct,. we always say lat and long, sorry
i,ll have a go at Marks although I,ve only been as far as Seattle, Couver Island, reason being is I do not understand bears and cos I do not shoot critters big or small I do not explore these places Although I can track, learn as kid Fact was showing my boys how to track on Couver Island and ran into bear tracks, I beat a hasty retreat

 

Okay, 'nother clue. Plenty of Americanus, no Arctos, no Maritimus.
I work fast - that was TWO hours only!

 

I specifically included "red and green urchins" That mean probably none of those long-spined black or purple ones. No abalone, tho they thrive in chilly water, a degree or two can make the difference.

 

Does the Makah Nation play a role in the fish production?

 

No, they don't. More clues. Alaska is bigger than many think and I don't usually skip around more than a few hundred miles from home. That is my two year old boy climbing in one of the pics and I have not had this boat to Seattle since 1984.
The boat next to me has 40" railing and several life-rings - must be inspected for carrying passengers for hire...Where would they be coming from to bring passengers (albeit wet ones after a ride on that boat!)to this restaurant. If you get the name of the restaurant, or boat, you'll get the place. They are going to be found on the same page, pretty much owned by the same family.

 

Absolutely, the reason that the place has a reputation for the fish is a mistake! It is brought on by people's ignorance! This place has had few fish since the days when they used to salt herring here!

 

The Outpost at Point Baker, or close?

 

No. Not close.

 

'nother clue. Until you get out west, the Aleutions or almost, coastal Alaska is more temperate than one would expect. If one goes inland, the winter temperature can drop 20° in 100 kilometers, so don't let the vegitation and T-shirts fool you -this is not Southeast (not the panhandle).

 

Kodiak Island, Kodiak bear?

 

Larsen Bay?

 

As much as I like the Larson Bay area, it is a full day's travel for me to get there. Not Kodiak, at all - I would have to cross Kennedy and Stevenson Entrances to get there and I have to have a better reason than taking the family for sushi and drinks to do that. And it has Ursus Arctos (and plenty of 'em).
No, this place only has Ursus Americanus and very few coastal regions are like this. It takes something to block the browns from coming here. A fence? No. A river? No, they are pretty good swimmers. In fact, I know one place where Arctos seasonally swim about 5 kilometers in open ocean to reach an island. Why would there be no Arctos (brown bear) here?

 

Holgate Glacier keeps the Ursus Arctos away. The harbor may be Kenai or Seward on the Kenai Peninsula, which is from the Inuit word for black bear.
