Some excellent restaurants in Homer...sorta a hippish/granola feel to the town. Hence the term "Homeroids".  Have to admit escaping to Anchortown to see a skirt and no ExtraToughs on a woman
I retired from the Johns Manville asbestos pop tart factory in ‘59, and still never made the connection.—-Slumlord

Soldotna is owned by the horseshoe mafia
I know a guy that knows a guy
if you know that guy then Soldotna is paradise
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Well I'm happy for you I been out of seward twice and after fishing the ninilchik for Halibut never again will I set foot on a boat in seward... Homer is pretty good cause you can fish for a Salmon, rockfish and halibut. I forget the name of the charter out of homer we went with but 1st class operation and great fishing.
Who you fish with is more important then what port you go out of. If you went with Crackerjack out of Seward you more than likely would have had a wonderful time, if you went with Saltwater Safari I understand your disappointment. Seward has the full mix of halibut, rockfish, salmon and ling cod.

Crackerjack and Pro-Fish-NSea are basically partner charters and i've fished with both outfits, they are THE best charters in Seward bar none. Book a charter after July 1st and you can fish for and keep halibut, lings (1), rockfish, silvers and if you're really lucky, salmon sharks.
I'd skip the Kenai, the king runs down there over the last several years have been abismal to say the least.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

Great place and region, but I find it a bit of a tourist trap during the spring summer seasons. Post Labor Day a very pleasant place to be.

Asking if it's white trash without ever being there.... go [bleep] yourself Who better to ask than someone who lives in AK? A simple yes or no would be much more informative.

I liked that we had 8 rods on our boat (pro fish-n-sea) and we hammered fish almost all day. Everyone had a limit and they were super professional. I spent a bit more up front, but I was on a faster, nicer boat and it was worth it. Bring tip cash....you'll want to give it to them.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Ps, we passed boats that had LOTS of people fishing on them. Looked like a circus.

The root word Soldot may have come from Russian for Soldier?
Shemya, further out on the Aleutian chain, also comes from the Russian word for "unjust trial". Tell me. Spent my 20th year there.

I had an overnight at Shemya a few years ago, after a task at the USCG Lorsta on Attu. Kind of remote, but good grub and rooms there.
