Due to some strange circumstances, the group of us that go to AK every year have found ourselves with one open slot.

We have 7 going, with room for one more...no big deal if we don't find someone else to fill the last spot but thought I'd throw it out there.

Trip will be 1 day of travel there, 4 days of fishing, one day to relax and get our last days fish processed and fly home.

Everything is arranged with a house with 8 rooms, really nice place, charter is already booked, vehicle is already rented. We've stayed in the same place for the last 6-8 years and fished with the Charter the past 3 years, top notch.

What's the fishing like end of June?

For sure halibut, rockfish, and pacific cod will all be excellent. Salmon are salmon, but king fishing could be very good to salmon being non-existent. In the past 18-19 years we've always came home with at least 2 50lb boxes of filets, but sometimes 3-4 each. In any event, you'll be wore out catching some kind of fish. Limits will be 2 halibut day, 2 kings a day, 4 total rockfish, unlimited pacific cod. Unfortunately ling cod will not be open.

Seas are usually pretty tame, can get a little sloppy once in a while, but I've never been sea-sick...yet. Its AK so lots of shit can happen weather wise so if you're an up-tight traveler, probably not the trip for you. If you're a pain in the ass, probably not the right group to go with, we're there to have a ton of fun and catch fish. We don't drink on the boat, we're there to fish. Usually have a cocktail or two in the evenings with dinner.

If interested, PM for exact dates, link to the charter, approximate costs, etc.

Typical days:

Damn, this sounds like a great trip. I wish I knew more about the future of my job right now now. I hope you find a good person to fill the slot.
I hear that, I think we all do.

I just said F-it, can't live in fear of the unknown.

May take VERA and join AARP...it's literally hour to hour on what I want to do.
 
VERA is crossing my mind as well. A couple months ago, hell no, but I did run some numbers this weekend.
Been doing the same...hoping they offer it through the end of the year. Would like to see how a couple things play out before deciding. Seems like a long time to December.
