need one angler to join Icy Bay Lodge jigging trip in Alaska

[ksong]

We are looking for an angler who can join the jigging trip in Alaska on June 24 - 30, 2018 due to cancellation.
This trip is an ultimate jigging trip for big halibut, ling cod and yelloweye rockfish as well as king salmon in a remote area with stunning view. It is common you catch 1000 lb fish on jigs in a single day.
We jig on sea mount in 100 ft using light 6 - 8 oz jigs.
If you like to jig big halibut or ling cod, this is the trip.

Have you checked out the 2018 regulations? I believe it's one yelloweye per year, one slot limit ling cod per year, one halibut per day and a size limit so you essentially can't keep any big ones. King salmon will be either closed completely or severely limited. I'm not absolutely sure these are the correct, current regulations but they aren't far off.

Yes Alaskan limits are even smaller than here in BC- it's no longer the place for a freezer filler trip.

It is fun trip and bringing fish home is a bonus.

I have fished Yak Bay, just a bit south of Icy Bay. Quality fishing for sure.  Icy Bay halibut zone is 3a.

Guided Charter boat fishing: 2 halibut per day, one any size and one 28" max.(7lb H&G). 4 fish Annual limit
I suggest only keeping 1 Hali per day. Toss the chickens back and keep the "any size" fish each of 4 days.

Non-guided boats: non-residents can have 2 fish per day, any size, no annual limit. So, maybe you can rent the boat and leave the guide dockside.

I don't see  any problem to bring 100 lb filleted fish (2  boxes) home.
