It's going to be a guided trip on the Kenai. I'm not a big fisher. As in the last time I have been was 2.5 years ago on the Pacific coast of Mexico. I was wondering if any of you have any experience up there and am wondering what to expect, tips, and general information/experiences.

i went about 10 years ago. It was a lot of fun. The place we were at supplied a guide to go with you in your boat for the day so he is expecting a pretty nice tip at the end of the day. That was kinda aggravating.
The funny thing is nobody was catching crap for the several hours then all the other boats started pulling in the some HUGE SALMON and our guide laughed. He said they are 'baiting', which is illegal, basically u put some salmon eggs on your hook and they hit with in a matter of seconds. That's why it's illegal, but the 'tours' want you to catch something so u go back.

I went halibut fishing out of Seward. Went out on a charter boat with eight or ten other people. Jigging with cut up bait and a rod about as thick as a pool cue. Not a whole lot of skill involved, just drop it over the side and let the line play out until your bait hits the bottom and jig it up and down. Fun when you get a big one on.
Another of my group got flown out to some remote location and dropped off for the day to salmon fish. Caught some nice king salmon and saw a bear or two.
