If you can get up to Neah Bay Thursday-Saturday, I値l take you out. Just me and my dad going and his health has gone down hill. He has pulmonary fibrosis and breathing is tough. He wants to go again so I知 taking him. Could use the extra hand launching and landing fish. 19 foot Arima. If we can get out, we always get our fish. Let me know ASAP. So far weather is looking good for next week.
We have all the gear you will need.

Hali on the other season seems to be a big hope and a prayer that one lucky fish decided to drag his feet on migrating out of the sound.

Tie an anvil onto your line, toss it over the side and then reel it back in. That will give you 95% of the sensation.

Drill a hole through the center of a sheet of plywood, run your rope through it and tie to the anvil. Drop in 500-1000' and pull it back up!Man I wish I lived closer to the salt.......and had a boat :chuckle:

Halibut fishing (at least in WA) really isn't a ton of fun. It's a long run, the fish are really deep, and you only get to kill one. We have lots of other fisheries that are more fun IMO.
I just need to check the species off the list :)
One of my favorite fisheries for pure fun is flounder. They attack your bait and put up a gnarly fight on real light tackle. Plus, you can get 500 bites in a day. They don't stack up very fast though, so the freezer rating of the fishery isn't good.
I'm looking forward to this fishery. I just wish they were a bit bigger.

Every once in a while you need to shoot one which is pretty fun.
People that don稚 like fish will eat them too.

We had a good day on Sunday out of Westport. Put 12 nice lings and 42 black bass in the freezersWe went out of Westport last Tuesday. It was pretty choppy out there. The boat had a limit by noon. Good times.

Halibut have a ton of meat and no pin bones. They also are easy to get to bite if you are near them so they do have their pluses.

:yeah:
Have had people that swear they don't like fish eat Halibut chowder thinking it was chicken!
Caught a 100 pound Halibut a mile off shore in a sixteen foot fiberglass boat, and shot it, twice, to get it in the boat! :chuckle:
