I don't know anything about the Misty Fjord area, but there are two deep inlets on south Chichagof -- Tenakee Inlet and Hoonah Sound - along with numerous small bays.  Both offer pretty good protection from rough weather/water.  There's a FS cabin in Hoonah Sound (and other places along Peril Straight), but its also a pretty popular area with the locals. Lots of bears in that area (north Baranof / south Chichagof), but lots of bear hunters too (IMO).

If I was looking to hunt bears locally, I would head for the outside (western side) of Baranof Island, south of Sitka, or the outside of Chichagof Island, north of Sitka, but you're not going to do that in a 20 foot cataraft with a 18 hp outboard (well, you might, but I wouldn't).
