2 weeks...lucky guy! I'm headed up there on June 5th. I'll be there 1 week. I booked my river fishing with Tyland Van Lier at "alaska fishing and lodging". I'm fising with him June 9 &10. He's out of Soldotna and fishes the Kenai. He has good prices and he came highly remmended.

I would give him a call and discuss it. Tell him Dan Oliver told you to call.

I'm doing my Halibut fishing out of Homer with Mike Mann one day and Captn B's another day. Who are you doing your Halibut fishing with?

Good luck and have a great trip!

Deep Down,

Will be in Anchorage for a day (6/19), on to Homer and Seward, Soldanta, and the Kenai. Hoping around the area isn't a problem. Would love to hit the Golkana but that will be too much driving, I think.

Hope to fish all these areas at least a little since I'll have time each day if not the whole day. Advice as to where, time and what to use (and who if needed) is appreciated.

Have one day for Halibut and Rocks booked with Capt. B's. Another day with someone else? Maybe, but I think I'd rather hit a river trip with a guide. Both if I can swing it. lol

Thanks in advance to all. The door here in Central NY is always open.

Heres a couple very good Kenai king guides, both by reputation and my experiences....

In June, a drift boat down the kasilof (right by the kenai) is a pretty sure bet for multiple king hookups, and a different way to do it. But avoid Bob Bell...personal experience:(

About 5 years ago I used Jim Rusk who works out of Soldotna. He works hard to put fish in the boat. He is dedicated and really likes to fish for kings. We fished for kings for 5 straight days and he never let up. We put a lot of nice fish in the boat. I can't say the same things about the guide we used 2 years ago. I'd recommend you schedule at least two days back to back because the fish in the river depend on the runs. To give you an example two of us totaled 14 on one day and then 2 the next. Averaged 8 on the other days.

    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
