Merry Christmas, from my family to yours

From what I've read, you can only keep one Halibut. Up to 40"?? then over 100, something like that.

The wife wanted to take a charter that was setup by the cruise ship because if the boat breaks down at sea, the cruise ship WILL wait for you to get back to shore.

If you charter on your own and they break down, your screwed

A few of the cruise ships will cook your catch, that sounds good

Guess I need think this over

So the best time to fish is during a rising or lowering of the tide?

Nice pics Guppy35. Now 2018 is a long time off. Can't wait

  We added a couple days of fishing to our honeymoon as well.  One day on the Kenai for Kings and another in Cook inlet for Halibut. It was awesome!  I was also in Seward as part of our "land cruise" spent a few days in Resurrection bay, spent a whole day on kayaks around the islands. Its a beautiful place. Make sure you book a fishing trip I would go back in a heartbeat!

 

We put our 2 days of fishing at the end of our trip so we didn't have to deal with as many logistical situations.

 

As far as getting our fish home here is what we did. The processor cleaned, flash froze it and packed it in 50 # airline approved coolers with dry ice.  We checked all of our fish as our luggage on the plane and mailed our dirty laundry home because it was much much lighter.

Great idea

The trip will cost less if we start the cruise at Seattle, WA. So fishing before the cruise will be out of the question, too bad

Thank you, thats more info than I thought I’d get. Love the pictures.

We were thinking about booking Halibut via the cruise ship but now rethinking that. They charge 350-370 for a 6 hour trip and so far Ketchikan and Juneau are the only ports on the cruise. I never gave the tide think a thought, not much for tide on Big O.

I know it starts getting cool in September but if you had a choice, would you pick July or Sept. for a better chance of catching fish? My wife did some reading and Halibut feed on dead salmon in the fall.

I may call a few charters and pick their brains too.

Thanks again

Greg

We’re planning an Alaska cruise for 2018, mid July or early September and one the things we’d like to do is some Halibut fishing. The cruises only offer stops at Ketchikan and Juneau, that would allow for Halibut fishing. It appears that Ketchikan is closer to open ocean water. Any opinions or comments on either place? Never did this before but should be fun.

I used Rustoleum bottom paint this spring and just wanted to report that it held up GREAT. It's half the price of other paints so needless to say I'll be using it for now on!

Do ya need a 5th wheel camper to go with your fishing stuff?

I'm bringing a Super Soaker on the boat tomorrow

They are catching fisherman from New York to Canada

Didn't catch me

Anyone ever stay at the Oswego Speedway? Not sure how much they charge

Tournament or derby time, it's going to happen. Set your equipment accordingly or find your own water to fish. I tend to go in the opposite direction, in or out from the crowd

Its now on ebay with a bunch of pics

I don't think it will be long and someone is going to scoop this rig up. I wouldn't go any lower on price as there's nothing newer out there and twin i/o's

Good luck Joe

I've done the same with the Tri Flash. Or just keep your setup close to the ball for aggressive fish

Good idea Spoonfed

Nothing special I guess. Thanks

Looking for 14 inch

It's best to stay clear of Oswego during Harborfest week.

Patriot that's different. I have never seem anything like it. Where can they be ordered

I stopped selling them about 9 years ago. I'm retired now and don't see myself going back into the tackle business., plus I'd rather just fish

I lost a probe many years ago. I check my wires every time out ever since
