Canceled halibut...

I saw that dredge out there this morning.  At one point, The ships aft went way down and the bow came up, then alarms went off. Not sure what was up, but strange.

How many people have lost a slip in the the La push. Marina?  It's a joke.siting on a gold mine. 5 guys in five years. 

Bring back back Daryl and Daryl !

LaPush could be a whole different story.  That can get nasty rather quick!

With Lapush basically having no bar its one of my favorite places to fish out of. I dont really think its any different than any other coastal fishery, the weather can get nasty quick anywhere. Just yesterday I was fishing around copalis and when the wind began to pick up we called it a day, before we knew it the wind was blowing a steady 25 and had to be gusting into the mid 30's, really was cooking out there and from the south. The fun part was pulling pots on the way in, one of very few times I've ever had my crew put their life jackets on.

2labs you are exactly right about the lapush marina. It has become an absolute joke. I don't know who's currently running it but I know for a fact that previous guys were taking cash on the side. That is why you're losing slips is my guess... absolutely ruined the halibut fishery for us out of lapush. I'll be down there for the opener but just for the day, not looking forward to the launch line but what do you do!

That's what I was getting at. You call at 7.59 for a slip, they take your money, call too confirm. No spot! Tell you to find someone to double tie with. Lets not even get started on the fuel dock, the boat ramp.or the line up to launch! Last time I was there you couldn't power on your trailer! Really. You winch on a 10k. Boat! Those clowns are sitting on a gold mine.

We went bottom fishing with Rocky's one time when there was small craft warnings out.  It wasn't fun and was too hard to get a good drift.  The only person who really made out was the boat owner.  I was so sick I puked on someone's leg trying to get to the rail and didn't even say I was sorry.  Even the baitboy was sick.

Three people drowned when their boat capsized that day.

That's what the light at the coast guard station is for. Kinda a go no go gauge.

Going out Friday with Rhett on the slammer and was hoping to take my boat out for halibut on sunday but that does;nt look like a good forcast now. I have fished in the ocean enough to know its more fun on the nice days.

 I've been 3 boat's to a swell and a 1-1.5 foot chop on the way out in a 16' footer (north end of Vancouver Is. westside) and breakers on the way back in.....Freddy's has hali for sale at $20 a pound. Pretty good deal in my book. Pick your fight's boy's. The older I get the more I see thing's differently. Challenge's are kinda fun though when you're a young feller......eh.

 Have your gear/boat/knowledge up to snuff and have fun. Don't take an irresponsible chance.

We did great on the Freedom Wednesday.  Limited on lings & rock fish.  Guy next to me got 30 lb halibut, and a lady got a nice king that was released.  I had large fish bust my herring liter twice. Great day on the water. The Freedom crew was outstanding,  I think I found a home on the Freedom.

Good job, yummy Lings!
