I recently received notification that a Continuing education event is available at a lodge on Prince of Wales Island in 2017. We did this in 2010 and had an absolute blast. In addition to bottom fish (halibut and rockfish) , we caught very good numbers of pinks and silvers in the ocean. Last time we went, the date was July 1-7. This time the date will be June 14-20. Due to speaker and lodge availability, I suspect the dates are not changeable.
Here is my question. I know that June can be decent for catching ocean kings, but I fear it might be too early for the silvers and pinks in decent numbers. Are there other salmon/steelhead? opportunities that I might want to look at during those dates? Last time, only one person in our group scored a king in the ocean. Any hints for stuff I might want to bring to improve the odds if it is mainly kings we can target?
The fishing is DIY. We are provided boats and gear and are turned loose once the CE is completed.
