salmon and turkey for us works great! makes sense about the halibut a few year back my dad and i were crabbing off the old navy docks in everett we would use octopus hooks to hold our turkey legs in the ring we had a halibut bite onto the hook i thought it was going after the turkey until i read this. it was like trying to pull up a running outboard motor it was everything my dad i could do to get it to the surface when we could finally see what it was it snapped the nylon cord we were using for the hook. very impessive strength!

I use salmon, leftover herring (chopped up), cockles and horse clams, squid if I can catch some, basically whatever I can round up.  I'm afraid that the crabbing is going to be not so fresh at Nisqually for the opener.  The  tribe has really been hitting it hard out there fore quite some time.   :bash:  They have been maily in 90-120' of water.  I prefer the 200+ but you have to weight your pots and have plenty of line.

we love to use shad at Westport, we only go off the docks there and usually do quite well, its funny how many times we are asked to sell a few of our shad, as we pull up full rings and 20 ft to either side their rings are almost empty...
A hunt based only on trophies taken falls far short of what the ultimate goal should be, time to commune with your inner soul as you share the outdoors with the birds, the animals, and fish that live there”.- Fred bear
