Title: bachelor party in June
Post by: Seatown5 on March 13, 2013, 06:45:53 PM: I was thinking about getting a guided trip for my bachelor party in June. I wanted to keep it within about two hours driving distance so people did not have to stay the night if they didn't want to. suggestions on who I should contact for a guide, what is the best fishing then? I was thinking steelhead since the rivers will have just opened. But maybe springers or even sturgeon which i know nothing about. I live in Lynnwood

How many people?
If its only a few (like 3-4) a sled trip for steelhead on the Cowlitz could be fun. Some guides could maybe work out a multi boat deal if its more people. Might be able to do a similar trip on the Sky.
Kinda late for springers unless there are options upriver on the Columbia? That's going to be way more than 2 hours.
If its a bunch of people, I'd do a Westport charter.

So needless to say when we were headed back and she found out what he was doing it almost caused a divorce before the marriage, but that's what happens when you don't tell the truth I guess. The whole trip was a blast until that point though and the March Madness tourney was also going on then.

Not sure if that's the kinda thing you're looking for, but I figure it's always nice to have some night life around after the fishing. Besides it's your last HOORAH, so you might as well go out fightin.

Post by: Wingin it on March 14, 2013, 06:51:58 PM: Early June I think I would opt for the kings and steelhead on the Sky. Late june I would take a look at the Cowlitz for steelhead. Most guides will work with others to meet your needs if you require more than one boat.

Post by: Seatown5 on March 14, 2013, 07:31:42 PM: Thanks guys the suggestions are great. I'm getting married in the Dominican republic so I didn't want to extravagant of a party. otherwise I would love to go do a whole weekend, hell who am I kidding. I'm sure we still will, after all it is my party and I want to catch fish!!! Sometimes close to home just doesn't work

Post by: Skyvalhunter on March 14, 2013, 07:51:58 PM: So there wont be any of your buds going to the Dominican Republic I take it as you could have one hell of a time there.

Post by: hollymaster on March 14, 2013, 08:16:51 PM: Steelhead prime time.
Rottenchum, John Thomas 425-280-5494 for the sky.
Mystical Legends, Phil Stevens 206-940-0052 for the cowlitz

Either one will work hard to put you on fish and have a good time doing it.

Post by: WAcoueshunter on March 14, 2013, 08:26:30 PM: Westport should be open for salmon the 2nd half of the month or so. I'd book a boat and go there. There will be more fish action than the rivers, you'll all be together on one boat, and you've got a casino nearby to round out a fun weekend.

Post by: Seatown5 on March 16, 2013, 12:04:25 PM: Oh no there is plenty of us going to the Dominican, I think the head count is around 25. The party is more for everybody that is not going to the Dominican with us. I mean why not squeeze on a second bachelor party. I'm starting to think west port is the good option. We don't leave until the 28th

Post by: cougkilr on March 16, 2013, 01:00:39 PM: I've been on two different bachelor parties on Charter boats in Westport in the past couple years. Its a great time, especially if you can book the whole boat. I'd suggest the Slammer-Rett is the captain, the best boat I've ever been on and he just revamped the entire boat this winter. Last summer we went out on light tackle and got 220 seabass in aboout two hours and then hit the lincod hole, we landed 20 in about an hour, all nice sized ones with a few in the mid twenty pound range. By all reports he is the best lincod captain in the area. After fishing we all camped out at Twin Harbors State park and tied one on all night.

Post by: 270Flat on May 27, 2013, 07:22:12 PM: We did a bachelor party on the Snake River in June one year. Up river from Asotin, camped right on the beach. We did very well catching some serious cat fish.
