Port Angeles Halibut Derby

[robodad]

we fished green point on sat and whiskey creek on sun and only got one around 20lbs.

Wasn't whiskey creek out of bounds ?

No low point was the boundry and we were way inside that.   It was last year I heard

We fished Freshwater hard both days and came up with a 37 on saturday (that was 24 at end of day) and an 18 about 1:45 yesterday. We have been doing great at Freshwater all year but just one bite each day of the derby. It was frustrating because the derby was real win-able or at least place-able with any kind of reasonable fish and we just couldn't get in front of one. We knew from the past unless it was a blowout the 37 would never last as you usually have to get one at least in the lower 40's to make the ladder. It was by FAR the greatest Halibut fishing for #'s of fish caught in the area this year and I have been fishing there for years. I just hope the "quota" deal doesn't shorten the season any more then it is next year because so many lbs of Halibut came in this year. Looking forward to next year........Les

That is too bad, was hoping to hear you guys slam them and get some funds from the prize board...

Well I didn't fare too bad 

[benhuntin]

What did it pay?  Or did you have a ticket?  Nice fish either way

[kkirkma3]

That would be the winner

[benhuntin]

that was the winner or that would have been the winner.  If it was the winner that is sweet

*It was the winner, all 88 pounds of it.
