Title: Lapush opener
Post by: Come Get Some on May 19, 2014, 10:23:16 PM: We wacked the butts and lings at Lapush last weekend. Butts to 60 and lings to 40. We released over 100 lings on saturday. Not sure how many butts were released. My fishermen we beat when we quit.

Post by: Button Nubbs on May 20, 2014, 11:32:24 AM: Nice work! The lung bite was insane. We had 6 on board and 4 fishing. I don't remember how many times we were all hooked up at the same time. Saturday we put 12 Lings and 2 halibut on the boat in 25 minutes. Drop, bounce, fish.

If I was to guess you will probably be out there till the boats limit is reached. Sometimes 2 hrs, sometimes 10 hrs. And the law only lets you keep 2 lings. But keep in mind how much meat you get from a 30-40lb ling. 2 lings and a decent hali and you have fish and chips for the year.

You get 2 lings and 1 halibut. We catch fish and enjoy ourselves. I am not in a hurry to get back to the dock. We hook and release fish until everyone has had had enough.

It is the pacific ocean. I see boats smaller than that. It all depends on the weather. The good thing about Lapush is there is not really a bar to cross unless the wind is blowing really hard from the south. It is a 30 nautical mile run to the halibut grounds. Bring plenty of fuel.

Post by: cohoho on May 24, 2014, 10:02:35 PM: I did meet you Jim, last weekend, wasn't thinking your boat was Epic. I was the one that wanted to check out your boat and thanks for taking me for a tour of it. Awesome boat for sure. I couldn't find that place that had the boat like yours for sale? Could you PM me the name of the place... Some reason I thought Come Get Some was someone else. Oh well see you next time out there. We just got home for our trip today...
