the coast is georgeous up there and the fishing much better than it is further south. it is a magical place, can't imagine anyone going there being dissapointed.
when i was about eight or nine years old boating with my family up the north coast i caught a 70lb ling. we were mooching for salmon with live herring at the time. at first, my dad was convinced it was hooked on a log or something but i saw the initial strike and was convinced it was a fish. three hours later it finally started moving and when it came up and it was gigantic. i remember being somewhat horrified when the giant head fist appeared from out the depths. it it was much, much bigger than i was at the time. there was a surprise when we open the fish up. my wee little herring was chomped not by the ling but a 20 lb red snapper (yellow eye rockfish). the big ling then came along and ate the snapper. so i ended up catching two fish in one. the snapper was delicious but unfortunately the ling meat was full of worms (as often happens with older fish).
cheers,
