Jim Martel recently visited Hidden Inlet and sent us a nice e-mail from his experience.
Dear Julie & Bert:
Just wanted to tell you again what a wonderful time I had at Hidden Inlet Resort during this past week [6-10-06 to
6-17-06]. The accommodations were great, the food was excellent, and the professional service I received from your fishing
guides Eric and Mark was very helpful in making the fishing a perfect experience. Say hi to everyone for me, and I look
forward to coming there again.
Thanks Again,
Jim Martel
"Fishing within the Misty Fjord national monument was amazing. Our guide knocked himself
out to see that we caught lots of fish. My wife is still bragging about her 77, 70 and 64 pound halibuts. She
tells anyone who will listen (and even some who won't about it). This was truly a last frontier type adventure.
The remoteness was very exhilarating. We didn't feel as though we were in a tourist setting. We didn't even see
another fishing boat until our third day on the water. The hospitality at Hidden inlet lodge was exceptional.
The cabins were clean, comfortable and inviting. The Sommers were welcoming, accommodating and gracious. We knew
we were their number one priority. Our vacation couldn't be nicer!"

Team AZOD Returns From Hidden Inlet, Alaska
Team AZOD’s Kip Pollay recently returned from a weeks stay in Alaska, where he participated in a
filming of Sportsmen’s Heritage TV. His journey included stops in Seattle, and Ketchikan, before jumping on board
a yacht for a six-hour trek up the Inland Passage to the Hidden Inlet. Hidden Inlet is one of the newest fishing destinations
in Southeast Alaska and is owned and operated by a group which consists mainly of fellow Arizonan’s. “People
who come to the resort to fish will be taking a float-plane in and out but I jumped on board one the investors boats and soaked
in the Alaskan wilderness as we made our way to camp”, says Pollay. “The area is abundant with eagles, bear,
mountain goats, whale, and more, and the scenery was spectacular.” The resort is only one of two fishing camps
in the Portland Passage, nestled in the Misty Fjords National Monument. Kip spent eight days enjoying some great Alaskan
Salmon fishing. The group also caught various other species including Red Snapper, Halibut, Rock Cod, and more.
“The people at the resort really took great care of us off of the water as well,” adds Pollay. “We
ate steaks, shrimp, dungeonous crab, salmon, halibut, and cod. The facilities were very nice as well.” The
crab and shrimp are abundant at the Inlet and were caught daily by the crew. The show, which will air this winter, will
feature Kip with the Sommers family from the Hidden Inlet.
