Chiniak isn't even a wide spot! It's a U.S. Post Shack that sits right off the road! LOL!
When I went in 2012, we went out to "Roads End" restaurant to eat! Fun place.
Best fishing moments were on 8 foot seas just off Chiniak. We tagged out on 12 kings and umpteen silvers in about an hour! We then returned to calmer waters to fish for halibut. Real downer!
The charter we used is now defunct. His boat burned. Great guy. A bit of an A-hole, but could put you on fish! Honestly, to run a charter boat, you've got to be a "Type A" personality....or a bit of an A-hole! It's quite a trip from Chiniak, around the horn to Whale Pass between Kodiak and Afognak. My b-i-l (rest his soul) caught the first fish, on the first day trolling Whale Pass! About a 45 pound king. Biggest salmon of the trip!
BTW! We had you by 2 rednecks! Four of us from east Texas staying at the Best Western and we got stuck in the elevator! LOL!
. I didn’t know this until I did a little research but Chiniak Bay is supposed to be the best King fishing on the road system.
