we are going to do Alaska.  a combo Halibut and Salmon trip.  we booked a single day where we fly on a float plane to a remote spot to try for Silver Salmon.   but a day of halibut, and then multi-day trying for kings.  

 

 this trip..8 friends going!!   we asked for a great weekend and the service showed us the best halibut tide conditions.  we said.."okay, we want that".    it is more than a year out.  hahahha..

 

 

I have done the fly-in trip (Talon air service) for the Silvers and bear watching, half day trip across the Cook inlet, land at Silver lake and catch a limit of Silvers (it was three at the time) and then go watch the bears.   it was very cool as we were headed across the lake I spied something swimming across the lake.  It was a bear.  We got with in about ten feet of the bear.  Shot some absolutely awesome photos.  The best photo I took was a close up of the bear's face and you could see the water droplets dripping off the muzzle.

NOPE!!  I invited a few guys I know I run faster than.  

The family and I got a short halibut and salmon trip when our cruise stopped in Ketchikan in June 2024.  Phenomenal experience!

Have fun! I did that about 18 yrs ago…. Dang I’m old

 

they will tell you halibut don’t fight, they are lying 😂 

 

one of them grabbed a trolling rig near the beach while salmon fishing. It slid off the gaff and took off like a rocket, way out in front of the moving boat 

 

Fished a 4 day salmon and halibut trip in Sitka in 2006. Great times.
