Call Bob at weigh west and get signed up. We started with a group of three 2 years ago and this year we will be headed up there with 9 guys. We catch the early season (late may) and have a great time. We fish off shore a few miles, but you are fishing 25 minutes after leaving the dock. Get their all inclusive package and with 3 guys per room it is a pretty good deal. Make sure you eat like a pig with your meals at the pub, and if you don't try the halibut and chips, well ya just don't deserve to be there.
The fishing is in more sheltered waters later in the summer, but our guys have a hard time getting our schedules lined up for later in the year, so don't think you have to hit peak season to catch fish!
