Don't get your hopes up too high. WDFW creel reports are running about 1 fish for every 8 rods.

It's gonna cost your buddy a bunch of $$ to troll that big old boat around for salmon. Sounds like he has the dough, but it still seems like kind of a waste to me.

Have him take you up to Roche Harbor. Drop a couple crab pots in Westcott Bay, have lunch and a couple beers, collect up your crabs, and then at least you'll have something to bring home. cool
