overnight
I have done this trip for the last five years with a church group. If you are looking for meat for the freezer then this is the trip for you. If you are looking for "trophy" size halibut, then you might want to look for a day trip. The new boat that ACM has is great, bunks to sleep in and lots of room to move around. bring along a spinning rod and jig some silvers once you have your butts on board.

Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice, remember life is expensive and ammo is cheep!

Meat in the freezer.
Originally posted by flounderAdison, please explain this comment. Won't you catch big fish too if you go overnight? I have 2 over night trips and a day trip booked w/ ACM in August. I really want to know how the action is overnight w/ the double limit of halibut during the midnight sun halibut run.

Companies that do "meat in the freezer" runs book their boats full, and find chicken holes to get everyone their limit. You may get into bigger fish, but more than likely you will limit out on smaller fish. I brought up probably 35 fish and took home my limit of 4 with ACM. I thik I might have brought home 40lbs of fish...maybe.When all else fails...ask your old-man.

We just got back from our alaska trip. Included was an overnight out of home with North Country. We were tossing back 30-50 lb Halibut all day and ended up the first day with a limit between 50-80lb. The second day we didn't have as much time to fish, so ended up keeping a number of smaller fish, although we did pick up a 134lb butt as our second to last fish. Overall our average size for the two days was probably around 60 lbs judging by the amount of meat we ended up with.
