Halibut, whats the skinny?

[Ripper]

I fished Admiralty Bay on the opener. I caught no fish, didn't see or hear of anyone catching any. I'm sure some were caught, but I didn't see any.

Put about 15 hours in at Mutiny Bay Friday and Saturday, same result.

On opener the checker count at Keystone 88 boats = 16 butts.
We didn't get diddly - hitched a ride with a friend from work. Friend of his fishing close by pulled in a 70lb butt.

Heard of a few others caught and one 100lb.

Hein Bank was the place to be.
Had a great time fishing -a bad day fishing is better than any day at work.

My buddies went to "Garbage Dump" near La Push and limited the boat in 30 mins all the butts were around 25 to 35. Great fishing they said just very rough seas.

 NOAA forecast was way off for the morning anyway... took about 2 hours to get out to the grounds. Still got our limits both butts and lings had to fish a little harder than thursday but the size was better, averaged probably 25-30 on the butts had a nice 25-30# ling in the boat and a couple other pushing 20. Fun trip out there definitely filled the freezers up.

The forecast for Lapush was pretty close to what I saw, forecasted for 10-20 and calming in the afternoon was just what we saw saturday morning. Made for a slow ride out and a quick ride in.

The southwest corner was the biggest CF I think I've ever seen. Probably 200 boats which isn't uncommon but too many frickin idiots. Hauling full bore right through the middle of everyone. I watched one charter do it over and over again... 15 maybe 20 yards off my stern. I took a few pictures of it to share when the time is right, but he wasn't the only one   

Other than that it was a great day, I wish the moorage wasn't so screwed up I wouldn't even mess with westport halibut

We got 2 on the opener out of PA.  One that was 52 lbs and a 28lb.  Really slowed down since.  Going to fish all 4 days this weekend.  Hopefully things will pick up.  Here's my son with the 52.
