Title: Labor day charter?
Post by: NWRookie on June 02, 2014, 10:10:52 AM: I am planning on getting a salmon charter sometime over Labor Day weekend. Was wondering if I should make it a combo (bottom fish and salmon) or just go for the kings? Really want to hook into a king, but I love rock bass and would love to catch a ling. Any suggestions on charters would also be appreciated.

Best chance at getting a big one and you'll likely get a chance at many fish. Tons of guides to choose from down there too. No chance for bottom fish/lingcod though.

The Mirante's are family friends of mine, I have fished with Brian, however I know Robert on the Starfire have been slaying the rockfish and lingod so far this year...

:yeah:
Buoy 10 is expected to be even better than last year and last August is was insane! By Labor Day there will be big kings and plenty of silvers at Buoy 10.

Thanks and I will make sure to post my outcome. Gonna be a long wait.... :(
