If you're going to Alaska for salmon, find an outfit that mooches. Trolling for salmon can get pretty boring. Even better, find one that trolls and once you get a hook up, you pull out the mooching rods and everyone gets a chance at fish. Different parts of Alaska produce differing amounts of fish. By volume, Sitka produces one of the most, if not the most, amount of salmon that any of the other areas. That factored in why I chose that area over others. I also recommend going late season. The silvers, which makes up the bulk of your catch, have had a chance to grow in size. They start to rival the size of kings. It's also 10-15% cheaper that time of year. I think halibut cheeks were mentioned in a post. If you want cheeks and collars, be sure to tell your deckhand. He'll make sure it gets in your box.
