I'm wanting to take my dad on a trip next summer to fish for big kings and halibut. Halibut is less important but I'd like at least decent fishing. I'd really like good fishing for big kings. I've look at Queen Charlotte and that looks promising. We are good with self-guided, like available at Queen Charlotte Lodge, or guided. I'd prefer a mix of both if possible. Price is relevant but not a deal breaker for the right setup. We don't need luxury but, again, I am open to all suggestions. From what I've researched thus far, QCL looks like a great fit with good fishing prospects.

Due to health concerns, I may have less time to take these trips than I had always assumed. I want the trip to be great (don't we all). What advice do you all have regarding location, where to stay, when to go, and all the other details that go into planning a trip like this?
