Nice report. My $.02 on Alaska fishing from previous experiences.

1. If I were to go again I would go with an outfit that both trolls and mooches. Sometimes one method outfishes another. Good to have both methods at your disposal
2. Go with an outfit that has boats with dual outboards. It could be 10-20 miles from the lodge to the fishing grounds. An additional two hours of fishing time could be had if the boats are fast to them. Over the course of a 3-5 day trip, that adds up.

Thanks for the pointers.

I added these pictures to the report.

93-I liked the professionally labeled fillet packs.

Great report, great pictures and great fishing. If going to Sitka, I recommend Kingfisher Lodge. Been there numerous times and they are second to none, in my opinion. Again, great report.

Thank you for your input.

One last pointer.

Ask the fish processors to pack you some halibut cheeks and salmon collars. More often than not they're going to waste or they're taking them home for themselves.
