It was a great trip besides the weather

We ended up with a bunch of nice halibut around the 25 lb range. Couldn't get a big one to save our selves. (weather was to bad to go the 40 mi out we usually do to get to our barn door hole) I must of released 50 yesterday. Besides butts we got our limits of bass and I picked up a nice 25 lb yelloweye.
As for bears we seen 3 just off the rd on the way down to Seward but decided to leave them alone, didn't want to postpone our trip on the water. We hunted the first night and spotted a couple but couldn't get the boat into the beach because the surf was roaring! We ended up seeing 6 in the two days we spent on the water but the 15-20' rollers along with the 15-20 knott winds kept us from even thinking of beaching the boat. Besides bears we seen grays, orcas, propoises, sea lions, seals, otters, and about 100 goats! Good trip besides the nasty seas, kept 99% of the people off the water so we had it too our self. Put 150 miles on the boat and blew $280 in fuel but worth every penny!
