Westport Halibut Fishing

[Nape.257]

Going out to westport halibut fishing for the first time with my dad and brother.

We will be fishing on the Freedom.

Any tips for catching them or on what to bring on the trip.

Thanks

Don't bring any bananas.

If you get seasick go get the patch!  Bounce your bait off the bottom, wait for the slight pull and set hook.  Love halibut meat but boring fishing IMHO.  Bring good rain gear and enjoy!

Good rain gear, seasick pills/patch, lunch & drinks, the boat should have the rest. Oh yeah, bring your sea legs too, could be sporty out there. Have fun!

Just listen to your captain and deckhands and you should have no problem, the fish are plentiful.

If you're going sunday the forecast is looking great, you should have a good time. See you out there.

Thanks for all the advice we are going out Tuesday the 12.

The pill worked last time so all probably take it again.
