Flatty pics, let's hear some reports
« on: May 11, 2017, 01:55:08 PM »
I ended up not getting a chance to get out and looking out the window I can't say I am too disappointed.  Let's see the pics and reports, you must have crushed them since I was at work.

Here you go.  From the opener.  Confession: I caught one of the smallest buts on the boat, I picked up a bigger one for the photo op and the deckhand picked up the little one I caught and stepped into the photo for a little truth.  Had a blast on the Gold Rush.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Beautiful!  :tup:

We're you guys over in Neah Bay?
The moon comes up. The moon goes down.
This is to inform you that I didn’t die young.
Age swept past me but I caught up.
Spring has begun here and each day brings new birds up from Mexico.
Yesterday I got a call from the outside world but I said NO in thunder.
I was a dog on a short chain and now there’s no chain.

We fished Neah Bay, the weather was beautiful for halibut fishing all 3 days where we went. Lots of people got skunked but we had a great time and landed around 40 butts in the 3 days. Day 3, yesterday was our best day, we kept a 42, 38, 34 and 28.

Someone spin the first one please.

Yesterday was a good day to have missed, at least in Westport.  We got blown off the water after just a few hours with much of the rest of the private fleet.  Didn't hear of any being caught.  Hopefully that means we'll get at least one more day before they shut it down.

Saturday was a beautiful morning on the water at Hein and Middle Banks, pretty much dead calm until the tide change, then the rain and wind hit.

We caught no halibut and I would guess no one else out there did as it was quiet enough to hear a whale blow more than a quarter mile away so I think we would have heard an excited angler.

Bobcat did manage to pull up a just legal ling before we headed back to port tired and soaking wet.

Had to look a little harder for better fish, but boat limited on butts and lings again Sunday. Rough ride out and back but knowing the right numbers to fish at was the secret.  ONe spot for the butts and another for the lings. Cold and overcast.

Nice fish!  Hoping I get my chance Sunday.
