Westport Trip

[Heartsblood]

We ended up limiting on sea bass - 240, and lingcod - 48. We were using anchovies and herring. There was A 67 LB Halibut caught and 2-3 cabezon. I think I was the only one who didn't catch a keeper ling. Ahh well, It was still a blast and we all came home with lots o fish! Sea only started to get rough as we were on our way back so it was really nice out there overall.

Great report! Glad you folks had a fun day! Still quota room on the halibut? The fishermen was able to keep it? 67lbs is a nice one!

Saw your pictures on facebook some nice fish it said the lady is now the leader in the halibut derby.

Well, being that I didn't catch a legal ling I'll hafta spice up my pictures of the trip:


I did catch alot of sea bass tho'...


And we did get a good haul:


Lingcod... It's what's for dinner!


 

I almost forgot to take this picture as can be told by the partially eaten ling on my plate....

[Heartsblood]

Hopefully some of the guys will post up some of their pictures. There were some really beautiful fish caught...

That was a fun trip and one hell of a lot better for Glen this time around  , I had a  great time! We should definitely do it again this summer.

It was a great time. The 65# halibut was caught on our boat but not by a site member. Here are some pic's from a great trip. We had good sea's and great weather. I have a sunburned face.

Awesome pictures! When does halibut season close? Will we be able to keep them on our trip the first part of July?

[buckhorn2]

Halibut is closed outside but still open inside 30 fathom until the quota is caught the trollers are catching a few salmon in 18 to 20 fathom on the northside so hope they stick around they are just outside of the green bouy line so there close.

I guess it's my turn  :chuckle:here we go : the biggest Cabezon on the trip 

i cut them nasty things off my line
they got hard  spine looking things on them but there soft
and there meat it blue color
i love ling meat but the cabazone are just to weird for me

[buckhorn2]

In the paper today a fisherman stopped and filed with the police department because he got sea sick and the captain would;nt bring him in because the other people wanted to fish so he called the coast guatd and wanted them to send a helecopter out to get him off the boat and they said no and he said nobody cared and I could have died.
