OK, so if we were interested in doing a self guided trip up to Alaska to catch some of these babies, how would we go about doing it. How deep are you diving, what sort of bottom contour are you looking for, what areas produce good numbers, what time of year again is best. Can you do these as shore dives or are they boat dives? Are they as far south as POW, or is it better closer to Kodiak?
