Title: Halibut fishing
Post by: hiway_99 on February 07, 2024, 06:01:34 PM: We are now booking for the up coming halibut season. If there's enough interest it would be fun to do a hunt WA trip this year. We had a couple guys fish with us last year. The wdfg has given us a much more favorable fishing schedule this year. Below is the halibut fishing dates for the marine areas 3 and 4, which is where we fish.

Hunt Washington trip will be June 1st for those interested. Price for this trip is $400 per person.

Halibut dates
May 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 24, 26, 30, 31

June 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29, 30

Post by: baldopepper on February 08, 2024, 01:26:13 PM: How far are you running out the 1st couple of weeks? Are you using electric reels? Long runs and standard reels in 600' of water are kinda tough on an old dude.

Post by: hiway_99 on February 08, 2024, 02:09:29 PM: We use electric reels. 30 miles give or take a couple miles.

Post by: hiway_99 on March 01, 2024, 07:28:19 PM: Yes. This is a halibut and bottfish trip. We target halibut and lings first. Depending on the time of day we will try and catch our limit of rockfish after we have our limits of halibut and lingcod.

Last year the ocean was much nicer in May then June. But generally you are correct that June typically has better ocean conditions.

:yeah: I agree. Was a fun trip with great folks, and lots of fish on board. Wonder if all the chumming :puke: I did made a difference? Got to look into the patch for next trip.

That's the spirit. Never been seasick but have seen lot's of horror shows out there. You hear "next trip" a lot less than "never agin".

I feel for you, I did so.e quality humming last time on the ocean.
Been hearing about acupuncture for motion sickness might give it a try
Title: Re: Halibut fishing
Post by: hiway_99 on June 03, 2024, 06:42:31 AM: It was our pleasure having everyone on board Saturday. On this trip, we ran 108 miles round trip and burned 90 gallons of fuel. The guys kept 18 Ling cod, 7 halibut and around 30 rockfish. We also released one 14# hatchery king salmon.

We have a couple halibut days left in June available if anyone's interested. I would offer them for the same price. I would need all 6 seats filled to make it a go.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240603/e1c7917f0aa57167253061db1e117489.jpg)

We don't have the seakeaper (stabilizing gyro). I would love to add one, not sure I can justify the $30k-$40k added expense.
