Roles and Responsibilities: Owner, fishing guide, guest development and informational architect (not sure what it means but I read it somewhere and it sounds good!), anything that I can do to be useful (which sadly, is not much). How Mike Got Here: washed up on the beach 20 years ago and wouldn't leave. Good Luck: Getting bit in a scratch bite, all the great people that I met as guests at the lodge, having the best-lodge-team in all of Alaska, # 7, swimming out of a rip-tide off of the Oregon coast, certain women, avoiding radar. Bad Luck: Being caught by radar, certain women, not getting bit in a great bite, being in the right place at the wrong time Likes: Solid hook-sets, a good bird dog, skiing, ethnic foods, a decent golf shot. Dislikes: Corruption, TV evangelists, things that don't start, pens out of ink, snags, a bad slice. Notable Quotable: "There are no problems only solutions."
Roles and Responsibilities: Fishing Guide and Chef. He was trained in Paris, France for a few years then owned a couple of signature-type award winning restaurants on Hawaii(Big Island). Currently living in Thailand when not fishing in Alaska... serving up a cooking school in Northern Thailand. How Mark Got Here: Very Carefully Good Luck: Getting through US Customs, having a quad hook-up Bad Luck: Not getting through US Customs Likes: The short game and golf, too! Best score was on the beach. Favorite girlfriend = one with a boat, and mother-in-laws that miss fish. Dislikes: Getting corked, de-tuned kwikfish, bad eggs, short rods with big mouths, mother-in-laws that catch the biggest fish. Notable Quotable: "Buy man a fish and he will eat it; buy a man a good fishing rod and he'll miss work!"

D-$ rolling out of shy-town. D-$ brings his tournament style of fishing to the Kenai. Back bouncing for Kings is his favorite technique, but will also mix it up with the Kwikfish. "Look out Silvers" when $ opens the hardware store…. the pitching of spinners is his forte.
