Having been there and done that, MAYBE CHECK WHO THE GUIDING OUTFIT IS RUN BY.
We booked with a fellow who I will call WILLEY Coyote.
Most Guide Outfits have Contract Guides. Some Contract Guides will have severe personality problems, or will have boats with really poor rods and minimal tackle. SOME WILL HAVE LITTLE TO NO BAIT ESPECIALLY ANCHOVIES, and will have excuses why the bait is sparse, poor condition, etc.
Any way, on the first day, the contractor asked Willey if he should take us to the outside (open ocean, good fishing, beyond the barrier islands). Willey was not aware I was standing right behind him and heard everything.
Willey said, don't worry they HAVE ALREADY PAID. Willey's boat had engine problems and could not take us out as his bottom leg was grinding on his engine. Next day Willey is fishing a client in his boat. When confronted at the dock about his boat running fine, he claimed he pulled it out, the shop worked all night, and he was back in the water next morning. Really?
If you run into a skinny blond haired guy who hates Albertans, by the name of JOHN, remember not to mention pipelines. He gets very ANGRY and will yell at you for 1/2 an hour.
Anyway, you are fishing for Coho as the Springs have mostly hit the Skeena and are long gone by the time you get there.
