I want to bump this to the top so we don't forget. Keep it fresh you know! I think it might be cool if we do a Poll for which boat. Maybe list 5-10 to choose. Here's a rundown of my Top 5 based on experience, fish counts, and reviews (Long Range boats not considered):

1. Outrider

2. Success

3. New Lo An (for open party, probably too big to Charter for our group)

4. Aztec (same as above)

5. Pacific Queen (might be tough to get a large group on but these guys can't be ignored)

Seems the hardest decision might be picking the date.  When we thinking?

For selfish reasons I say mid to late September. I'm going to Alaska in July. Usually great fish counts with limits fishing on yft and skipjack typically with yellows and maybe dodos and bft mixed in September through mid October typically. Also usually easier to find room on a boat after the kids are back in school. Otherwise usualky pretty good fishing in July and August. To pick a prime date we will want to have a good idea of some boats and dates by January or so. Prime dates book early on good charter operations. With some boats there may not be many to pick from with repeat customers usually getting first dibs on charter dates.

If its an annual trip makes sense to hold off till yellows are there.  Biggest obstacle will be elk rut hunt and first deer hunt.  Not such a broad window

See Kev, I told you this would be the only year you have to buy all the beer for our trip! You're only the fresh fish once.

That's what I was thinking but we should ask the Chartermaster, Kevin!

Ya big chicken, I just lit 3 candles at my alter and sacrificed a lizard of the year, 2021 should see 35 lb tuna all day long and slow 5 ft rollers to lull us to sleep after a belly full of sashimi!!!!!!
