Fishing for Charity!

[Dominick]

Hey Gary do you charter?  Is GS Tours a charter outfit and if so where can I get information for fishing with you in Alaska.  Chasing big butts is on my bucket list.  My biggest butt is maybe 10lbs. Dominick

Dominick,

I will meet you up there 2nd or 3rd weekend in September*.  I would love to go fishing with this guy.  And I am going to be in Sitka to reup my marine safety instructor certification.

October and November isn't usually a good time to visit SE Alaska unless you like hard sideways rain.

I like adventure but not when the hard stuff is going sideways.  After researching fishing in Alaska I'll stick to the summer months.  Are you really going in November.  Dominick

I am going to be up there in September.  I am registered and paid for the sept 22-25 training in Sitka, and could concievably charter a plane from Juneau to Gun either before (18-20), or after (26-28), or I may just hop on a charter outta Sitka.

Forget the butts, that is moose season.

I am on a budget...
The Federal government travel budget

Not sure if there are still enough Coho around this time of year to catch them trolling.  I imagine the runs extend later as one moves south though.  I think the Kings have left the scene by this point.

You can catch coho in Sept but it is a bit chilly.

In Alaska it can be a "bit Chilly" in July.  In Sept it probably can be "cold"

I hail from the land of ice n snow..Minnesnowta..origionally, and I prefer the crisp fall air to this boring Hawaii weather when I travel.

In SE October is the month of change, Septembers are usually OK if you don't mind the rain.  In October we often got 90 mph or higher winds and heavy rain.  The coho were often over 20 pounds by September.  September is one month into deer season (6 months when I was there) and moose started in October.

August is the best month in SE.  Deer, mountain goat, large coho, good halibut and usually fairly good weather.  Unfortunately August was also the start of my fall maintenance run and I was away from home until late October or early November home most weekends though.  The good thing was I had time when I was in the field for fishing and the state provided me a skiff and motor, hunting was a PIA but we did manage a few deer.

Ya many a good man has had to work on a great fishing day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!gst.
   And Alaska (all of it) can have its beautiful and they can  seasons fairlly short, and somewhat predictable,  the rest of the time not so great weatherwise.  But its not for everybody.  You have to choose your spot, I like mine at times!    gst.

I miss living and working in SE Alaska, even the rain.  Never got closer to you than Hoonah.
