If you could say, where do you go in Area 6 as I'm going there but always looking for better spots. I go to the southern area of San Juan Island.

if its not too late.. always willing to help out. between green point and dungeness spit. stay between 90-120 feet. keep the bait fresh and hang on. the weather is really going to pick up in the morning. I'm changing back to shrimp this weekend and halibut next. whiskey creek is always good also.

I always do pretty well in Freshwater Bay in about 60'-90. Had an old charter boat skipper tell me that many years ago and it has worked out. Placed 3 of last 5 years in PA halibut derby with fish caught in 60'-65'.................Les

Great photos guys. 2 years ago we won the pa Derby with a 124. the key was like I said in the past post, under 120 ft. did anyone do anything today? chickened out and limited on shrimp, just didn't want to take the chance with the winds. I did get the call from the whiskey creek area that it was glass at 930 am

Neat fish and pic PA ben. Bet that was some good eating. How much meat did you get off  the  42lb'er?

Post by: PA BEN on May 09, 2010, 10:12:01 AM

3/4's of the meat off my 45 lb'er this year was 20 lb's of meat.
