If you’re trying to catch a halibut from every states you’re going to come up 7 states short.
For sure SS! I’m not looking for that, I’m just looking for the closet place I can drive to, or the cheapest airfare…. to fish for halibut. There’s no justification to fish for anything, anywhere, if your trying to save money. I’m fully away of that. I just like fresh halibut and want to catch some for the least cost, knowing full well it would save hundreds to just buy it at the super market. However, I want the outting, the fun and the over all experience…… but Alaskan air travel simply leaves that off the table for this trip. Canada, BC is just that much further away from here as well, so…… just not looking there either, at the present.
Simply exploring options right now. Truthful I’d love to do the Alaskan trip again but looking to see if there are other alternatives. And, I always double or triple activities when ever I head somewhere, away from home, so once I decide where, I’ll start backfilling for other things to do while I’m there, to halibut fish, ie: claming, crabbing, fly fishing, etc etc. Got to maximize my expenditures. Now days, I got way more time than money.
