Why Pybus Point Lodge Offers the Best Fishing in Alaska

Have you or your family recently purchased a fishing boat or any other type of boat that you're looking to name? While this may seem a silly concept to some, boat-naming is an important task for many people, symbolizing both their investment and their love of the open water.
At Pybus Point Lodge, while you won't ever have a need for naming a boat on any of our all-inclusive fishing packages -- we provide all of the watercraft for our clients -- we're certainly familiar with this realm. Many of our top clients love fishing so much that they purchase their own fishing vessels for other locations, often nearer to where they live. With this in mind, here are a few of our pro tips on how to name a fishing vessel or any other boat you're considering the purchase of.
Like any other special occasion or moment, a boat-naming ceremony is about symbolism. You need to carefully consider your choice of nomenclature and what it says about you and who you are as a person.
Generally speaking, you want to go with something original that holds unique meaning for your boat, yourself and potential clients. In other words, don't name it something simple like "Bessie" or "Sally." This is a fishing boat that you're going to be using to make money with, so it needs an original name that people can identify with -- and that you identify with as its owner.
While you can technically name your boat anything you like, we typically recommend steering clear of names that are too long or complicated. If you give your boat a lengthy name, people may have a hard time remembering it and/or identifying with the historical significance of its moniker.
With this being said, you can always opt for a shorter version of the official boat title. For instance, if you wanted to name your vessel "The Ocean's Point," you could opt for "Ocean's Point" as the official name and then list "The Ocean's Point" as a secondary title. Either way is perfectly fine, but we typically advise against going more than two words unless you're looking to make a larger statement or share a more personal message with your future clients.
For those looking to be a bit cheeky with their boat-naming process, there are a number of different types of wordplay or boat puns that you can consider. For instance, if your last name is "Fisher" you could opt for naming your vessel something lighthearted like "The Fish's Folly." In other words, you're piggybacking off the classic saying about fishing "casting a wide net" to make your vessel stand out amongst others. Or, you can opt for something like "The Bilge-inator" to play off the idea that everyone is always looking for ways to improve their fishing game (e.g., improved boat bilge pump technology).

Pybus Point Lodge is located on the remote and secluded far south edge of Admiralty Island National Monument. Coverage is always tricky in deep valleys and remote natural areas. We found that AT&T has the most reliable cellular service at the lodge while T-mobile, Sprint, and Verizon can be picked up while out on the ocean. We do have a lodge phone you can use if necessary.
If you can't get a signal, we do provide free high-speed WIFI to the lodge and cabins. A popular option is to utilize your phones WIFI calling mode to communicate and take calls while at the cabin, although we prefer to unplug and enjoy all that the island has to offer.
The calm, cool waters of Alaska’s Inside Passage are the perfect habitat for humpback whales. Our guests tell us close encounters with these peaceful giants have changed the way they see the world – and we know just what they mean.
You’ll stay with us on Admiralty Island, called Xootsnoowú by native Tlingit people, which means “Fortress of the Bears.” There are more bears on our island than in all 49 other states combined – and more than 2.5x the number of people here!
A short ride in one of our skiffs will take you to the mouth of a river where, if your timing is right, you can watch salmon make their final run to spawn. When it isn’t overrun by bears dining on the feast, you can walk upstream just a few minutes to a beautiful waterfall in the thick forest.
From tiny phosphorescent algae lighting up our private docks to enormous humpback whales hunting in our deep, calm waters, you won’t find a more beautiful place to experience Alaska.
