FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: KETCHIKAN, ALASKA / February 23, 2016 – Chinook Shores Lodge, an Alaska fishing lodge specializing in guided charters and self-guided fishing, today announced the addition of three 23′ Silver Streak boats — Red Rooster, Blue Phantom, and Green Hornet — to its unguided and bareboat fleet. The purchase decision is part of management’s desire to ensure that Chinook Shores Lodge remains a leading destination for self-guided sport fishing in Alaska.

Silver Streak Boats offer an array of benefits and upgraded safety features to anglers and outdoor enthusiasts. In addition to solid aluminum hard tops and fully welded aluminum self-bailing decks, the hull and gunnels are sprayed with closed cell polyurethane flotation foam. Chinook Shores custom-built Silver Streak Boats are equipped with Horizon VHF radios and Garmin GPSMAP 741 marine chartplotters with CHIRP sonar fishfinders. These navigational instruments, electronics and added flotation give saltwater anglers the ability to fish with confidence and the highest level of safety in the industry.

With Red Rooster, Blue Phantom, and Green Hornet joining White Lightning in the water at Chinook Shores Lodge’s private dock, the lodge now operates four custom-built Silver Streak rental boats — expanding its bareboat charter capacity for the 2016 Alaska sportfishing season.
