I am a blessed man!
I got a call from a friend's wife who asked me to help organize a surprise fishing trip/mancation for her hubby's b day! She wants to get US (notice I said us) an overnight guided fishing trip....so let the suggestions pour in! I'm thinking salmon, but not limmiting myself...I mean not limmiting OURSELVES...my hommie went on a fly fishing excursion on the Dechutes and like that also. We need to do it on the weekend of June 12th...so help me out folks! What should WE do...bwahaha...muhahaha!
RE:I am a blessed man!
How much $dollars?
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
RE:I am a blessed man!
I don't want to say unlimited, but I figured an all day guide session on the columbia is about $150-175 per angler...and I can take care of the accomodations...I'm just wondering if anyone has had good experiences with a particular guide. We could do the salt as well, as long as we're baggin' big fish!

I'd check out the Sponsor of this Forum - Rogue Wilderness Adventures.
Other than that, a charter out of Westport won't disappoint.
That is an awesome opportunity. I know your buddy is going to enjoy your decision. Expecially how much it appears your thinking about it

Rogue Wilderness Adventures are more than $350.00 aren't they?
I like the river guide Phil Stephens of Mystical Legends Guide Service. Mystical Lengends. But he has spent the last 6 weeks chasing Springers at Drano Lake. He is finishing up down there now. He will be back up here by that June date. Very good guide!

Sturgeon on the Columbia is always good that time of year.

What's up Rob? How have you been? I don't know the prices or the season, but dude, go for some tuna. Anyway, that's what I would try. I reckon it would be the trip of a life time. I can already see the sushi and sashimi.

I'll second Phil Stephens of Mystical Legends Guide Service. He took me, my friend and my daughter (at the time 12 years old) and was very professional, helpful and knowledgable.

RE:I am a blessed man!
I'd try a place like Hikai Lodge in southern Ak.In June youll have a great chance for large kings and halibut.Even the upper Vancouver Island area has nice lodges.You get great fishing with way better limit ammts,plus fantastic scenery.
When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.

TUNA!

Here is the schedule: Salmon Fishing in Tofino, BC May thru September
By this time of year the Seas calm down enough that our charter fleet can comfortably and safely get offshore to our legendary baitfish rich banks to troll for migratory Chinook (King) Salmon from 15 – 50 lbs and powerful halibut.Our area receives wave after wave of Chinook Salmon heading for their natal rivers hundreds to a thousand miles away on our offshore banks thru the end of September with Coho (Silver) Salmon arriving in our area usually around the end of June and running thru the end of October.
Halibut Fishing in Tofino, BC
Our Tofino Halibut fishing charters begin in March as these migrating bottom hugging Flounders come onto our baitfish rich offshore banks from the deep abyss of the Pacific Ocean and some times wander into our protected inlets, following the same returning spawning Herring that the Salmon follow.
We welcome Spring as the ocean calms and we can comfortably access the offshore banks where the majority of Halibut congregate to gorge themselves on the ever bountiful baitfish that lives there.In our area these Halibut average around 25 lbs with 50 lb fish not uncommon and fish over 200 lbs have come from our waters. These Flounders continue to roam the offshore banks until Fall when they drop back to their winter grounds on the bottom in 1000 ft + of water, well out of reach until Spring.
To catch these Flounders on our Tofino fishing charters we sometimes troll with downriggers for them but usually we use drift fishing techniques where we bounce a variety of artificial or fresh baits such as Herring, Anchovy, Squid, Octopus and Salmon chunks or use lead jigging lures along the underwater slopes where these fish situate themselves to feed. We can also access underwater rock pinnacles closer to shore to jig for Rockfish,Snappers and Lingcod with the occasional surprise Halibut. After catching your limit of Halibut you can switch over to trolling for Salmon for an excellent all day Combo Trip!
PACKAGE #2: 16 HR, 2 days / 3 nights
•3 nights accommodations at our lodge with breakfast
•2–8 hr all inclusive fishing trips
•box lunches on boat
•shaved ice for fish packing
