Fly to Hawaii and watch the game on TV there. You will probably spend about the same amount.

Curious, what is the verdict?

Great info, thanks! I'll look into these options. Please keep the info coming.

Sounds very odd that it would creep that high, but could be. You double check your app? I assume you are an AZ resident?

I'd bet more than $1 since you were guaranteed 23 late with 9 points last year.

I can just about guarantee he drew the October hunt. It is extremely unlikely he had what would have been max points for the December hunt, but he would be at max for the October hunt. As such he mathematically never likely had a chance at the December hunt (he never got to the random pass past the max point round). Can't say for certain since this was the first year for that hunt but with so few tags, I would have to image max points was at least mid teens.
Great hunt either way. Congrats to him.

October or December?

Unfortunately our 2021 family vacations plans have hit multiple snags and the summer is turning into a bit of a bummer. My wife and I chatted last and agreed we need to start planning well in advance for summer 2022 to make it extra great and allow plenty of time to save. We have always wanted to visit the pacific northwest and a big part of that would need to include some salmon fishing. Having never done a trip like this I have a lot of questions and figured this would be the group to ask. I'll start with our particulars.
- Family of five. (Wife and I with our kids who will be ages 17, 13, and 12) All enjoy fishing.
- I have Southwest flight vouchers, so we can go anywhere they fly for near free. Would also be willing to rent a car to drive (example, fly to Seattle and drive to Vancouver).
- We will probably go for 5-7 days and want other things to do in addition to fishing.
- We would probably do at least 1 full day fishing charter during the trip
- Due to our oldest son's football schedule, we would need to travel between June 1st and mid-July. The week before or after the 4th of July would be most ideal. The footballs gods (his coaches) allow 1 whole practice free week all summer around July 4th.
With these particulars in mind, here are a few questions:
-
Where is the best salmon fishing given these particulars, Alaska would be awesome, but probably isn't realistic due to wanting to stick with a Southwest flight
- I'm thinking Seattle or Vancouver. We could actually spend a few days in each location, but does one have better salmon fishing at that time of year?
- From what I read, Seattle has more restriction on how many and what you can keep. (I love eating salmon) Can anyone confirm this?
- Due to current exchange rates, Vancouver seems to offer slightly better pricing.
- Any great charters anyone would recommend or anyone we should avoid?
- Within this window of time, is there a more ideal time for a better salmon bite (early June vs mid July), or should I be looking at a different time entirely?
- What other attractions within driving range (ideally under 3 hours) would you see/visit in the area?
- VRBO/AirBNB or hotel in this area?
Lastly, should we scrap this idea entirely and do something entirely different?
- Not interested in Disney type stuff at this time.
- Must be somewhere with nice summer weather to escape the heat.
- We aren't a museum type of family, we like the outdoors and nature.
Any constructive opinions or suggestions appreciated.
Also, before it gets said, I know the pacific northwest is full of liberal hippies. Just looking to visit, not move there! 😂

Wow, you mean you are allowed to be proactive and do this on your own without hourly reminders leading up to the deadline???😉

2 hours ago, AZtroutman said:That's a pretty dumb thing to say. If they aren't going to allow people to put in a secondary card or call them if their card is declined why shouldn't they have the give a reminder? I would bet the majority of people that have card issues aren't because they aren't "accountable" but rather because thieves are trying to steal their card info every second of every day. Then to say the reason to do it is to up your draw odds is even dumber. My hope would be that your card gets hacked 2 hours after the card update deadline and you don't draw because you aren't accountable for your actions and are irresponsible.
If my account "gets hacked 2 hours after the card update deadline", how would a reminder about the deadline be of any benefit to me?

Do they have to give people a final update deadline warning? They have in the past, but I don't think it is required. I would prefer they didn't and that people have to take accountability for their own credit card updates and issues. AZGFD, and the social media crowd, not reminding everyone every 30 seconds of deadlines only helps the draw odds of the responsible crowd.

Some of these older units are worth their weight in gold. They don't build them as heavy duty as the used to. I have a similar Frigidaire that is going on 20+ years IN THE GARAGE in the Phoenix area. I don't think I could get anywhere near that out of these newer one.

So, most Kuiu runs small. I am guessing these must run truer to size?
-
We have wanted to, but never tried the unit 23 youth hunt. So that was on the applications this year. If drawn, we hope to check out the Punkin Center camp. A friend helps out at that one and has been encouraging us to check it out for the past several years.

Those Berger 215 Hybrids seem to be the holy grail these days. I've been looking daily for months and can't get anyone to part with any. I put in a call to Berger the other day about them and was told that they are on the high priority list for a giant run of them in the very near future.
Fingers crossed.

I was told that AZGFD decided to jump in with both feet this cycle and just embrace their slide of technological regression and start notifying people via carrier pigeon.
