In the video below, you'll begin to understand, if not already, why boats, reels, hooks, and fishing lines were created. Could you imagine doing this Alaskan style? What an amazing feat this man did. Well, you can rest assured that we will not be asking you to do what he did. But if you did, we'd expect you to be bring us up some King Crabs as well as any Halibut or Salmon you might have encountered!
Lastly, you can count on one things we at Petersburg Sportfishing we will never ask of you: Wear little to nothing when fishing. Happy Fishing!

Bill Dance Bloopers
With every fishing trip, there is a chance for something to go wrong. When you've been fishing as long as this guy has, it's no wonder that things haven't always turned out the way he planned.

The Reform is coming....
As you begin a new company it is important to put your own twist on it. This weekend was filled with trying to get our brand just right. We think its fun yet simple and just our style. What do you think?
With The logo and business card out of the way now the real treat comes when the website will be totally revamped. Same great place just more information, and a whole new look. We can't wait to unveil it, but that will be a bit, so pay close attention. For now here is a taste of where we are headed.
We stewed and stewed over a few other simple differences to the logo but simple can be majestic! Thanks to Lorena O'Neal for guiding our hands and helping to make this a simple process. If you need the services of an amazing freelance designer she will work wonders.

Samuel Warren Nelson II-In Memorium
Pop-pop was a character! Anyone who knew him expected the unexpected. From off color jokes to stern reprimands he was a giant unto himself.
In his latter years he was man enough to wear short, hot pink shorts, with a grey striped button up shirt. His hair was still the same haircut, a short crop, he had kept since the Korean War where he was stationed here in Alaska. He had a story or a lesson for every moment, most of them heard, but still appreciated, before by those who surrounded him on a daily basis. His son's, daughter(my mom), and his grandkids have taken many of those lessons and stories to heart.
Just the other day My 5 year old daughter Mckenzie asked where we were going to, which my eight year old daughter(her birthday is next week-so I can say she is eight) said "Crazy if we don't mend our ways." Meggan and I had a hearty chuckle knowing that Pop-pop was probably smiling in heaven knowing he passed that one on.
I have never looked at dessert the same again since he taught me the secret to having more than one serving. I came to him one Thanksgiving and asked if I could have some more Pumpkin pie. He told me no and then went on to explain the true secret to success. "Donnie" he said "never ask for more because then people will know that you have already had some. Next time ask if you can have some then they won't know if you have had any and will most likely give you that second serving you desire." I have used it since and have been better fed for it!
Pop-pop, thanks for teaching, laughing, and being the first of our family to come to Alaska. You have instilled in my father and I a love for a land more beautiful than most, and a desire to share it with others. Your picture is hung on the wall but we always carry you in our heart. Thanks for serving our great country, it has made a difference, you have made a difference. Love and Miss you!
