Early in the season, the boats will scatter.......some staying in closer, some going out farther searching for fish. Usually, the fish are farther out (15-20 miles) early in the season. Size of kings will vary but nice ones (30 plus) are caught. They will average a bigger size as the summer progresses. The gear they use is adequate but not high end stuff as that would be cost-prohibitive with the maintenance required and high volume of people they deal with. You are always welcome to bring your own gear if you wish. I have never heard of an office having a problem with that. Do be aware though that if you do rent their gear it's an extra 5-10 dollars for the price of the trip............at least it used to be.

If you still have questions, I'd call the charter office. They are glad to give info. about the trip.

Hope that helps.
