Hey - I'll buy into your boat if you go! Having Ashley put you on monster Lakers, or pound a mound of Burbot, I'd be all over that. And I'm one of those cheapskates who spends way too many hours trying to figure it out for myself.
The cleaning service for those 300 burbot alone is money well spent!
To say a guide is a waste of money tells me someone has never tried one. If I'm going to Alaska - I'm not taking my 12ft Jon boat, and going my own!!!!!
We spent $400 for four people in Mexico. We went for a half day - first found, then caught bait (Mahi Mahi by a floating box - birds, then box, then bait). Tied it up "just so" - and we're into Shark, Tuna, and a couple of Swordfish for the nephews. Um - 6 ft fish - oh yeah. A good day out (and NOBODY had a camera!!! Where's the stupid smart phones when you need em!)
