Head out to the S.E. corner of the "C" go down 450' catch halibut. Head east 15 - 20 miles find structure. Limit on lings. Head east again tell your fish finder turns black. Your either on rocks or 10.000 bass. Limit on bass.
Go fillet fish. Done.
Not like trying to match a hatch. All three of the above will eat anything!

Variable winds less than 5 kt becoming WNW 5 to 8 kt in the afternoon. A chance of showers after 11am. W swell 6 to 7 ft at 11 seconds. Wind waves 1 ft or less.
Should be fine fishing!

We didn't get diddly - hitched a ride with a friend from work. Friend of his fishing close by pulled in a 70lb butt.
Heard of a few others caught and one 100lb.
Hein Bank was the place to be.
Had a great time fishing -a bad day fishing is better than any day at work.

My buddies went to "Garbage Dump" near La Push and limited the boat in 30 mins all the butts were around 25 to 35. Great fishing they said just very rough seas.
NOAA forecast was way off for the morning anyway... took about 2 hours to get out to the grounds. Still got our limits both butts and lings had to fish a little harder than thursday but the size was better, averaged probably 25-30 on the butts had a nice 25-30# ling in the boat and a couple other pushing 20. Fun trip out there definitely filled the freezers up.

The southwest corner was the biggest CF I think I've ever seen. Probably 200 boats which isn't uncommon but too many frickin idiots. Hauling full bore right through the middle of everyone. I watched one charter do it over and over again... 15 maybe 20 yards off my stern. I took a few pictures of it to share when the time is right, but he wasn't the only one :bash:
Other than that it was a great day, I wish the moorage wasn't so screwed up I wouldn't even mess with westport halibut

The forecast for Lapush was pretty close to what I saw, forecasted for 10-20 and calming in the afternoon was just what we saw saturday morning. Made for a slow ride out and a quick ride in.

Chad, why stop at the corner. Keep going west. We where wayyy out west and only had about 20 boats with us. Hammered quick limits of decent butts and lings. Doubles and triples where the norm. We ran from CQ to, put 130 miles on the boat, great day.

We were fishing with a couple of buddies who wanted to stop there first. About the sixth time this four letter word charter boat pulled that crap I pulled up and headed across the canyon to finish.
