[QUOTE="mongo4567, post: 2246586, member: 113361"] I've salmon fished out of WA, and salmon and halibut fished out of AK twice. For the adventure, I would take the AK trip hands down. For the AK trip we flew into Anchorage and drove a rental car down to Homer to fish. I will warn that there is a high likelihood of a winter storm that will stop you from fishing (heavy winds so they don't take the boats out). On our second trip I scheduled three days and we only got to fish one on the boats. We bought some gear and tried our hands at fishing the salmon run in the river. I would schedule four days, two for halibut and two for other species (cod, rockfish, salmon). Things to consider are daily limits and possession limits in both locations. Like "budlight" said, there aren't as many big halibut in the common places I know of like Homer and Seward. I had heard of them cutting the daily limit of halibut to one in AK at one point. I've heard that some of the WA trips run to international waters so you can catch twice daily limit for halibut. [/QUOTE]
