Over in Bear hunting we have been talking about those not drawn for a spring tag going ling cod and sea bass fishing. Well I got drawn but I still want to go! :chuckle: I have 5 people going with me on the Slammer so far on May 27th. That's the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. It would be cool to fill the boat with Hunt Wa members, so anyone interested, go to the web site and book a spot. There were still 15 open spot's when I last checked. It's 120 per person and you can keep 2 lings and 10 sea bass. They supply all the tackle and they specialize in light tackle so it's a real blast. Come join us. Mark
-
Sounds like fun, I was planning on a couple trips to fill up the freezer with sea bass and ling cod.

We'll get this thread up to ten pages too Ripper.... just need everyone to post their pictures of the trip right here after. And this time, if I'm a retching and someone decides it will be funny to take my picture while I'm doing it....(ahem. FC...) fer chrissakes don't delete it! I'll proudly post up with all the other pictures I send to friends and family! :chuckle: :chuckle:
-
There have been times I've kicked myself over the loss of that picture but I thought it might be a little too demoralizing :chuckle: :chuckle:
-
I wish I saw this a little sooner I would have gone for sure but now the wife has plans for us that weekend. Maybe we can do this again some time. Tuna fishing would be a blast.
-
Good luck Sunday guys! PICTURES are a must!
-
Says a 4 foot swell on sunday and they have anchovies now and the fish are biting should be a great day and you picked a great boat to be on.
-
i fish out there all the time, i catch lots of fish right off the big jetty and a few of the finger jettys and i dont pay 120 bucks
-
The Slammer had 13 people friday and they caught 130 bass 26 ling cod and one halibut they are doing really good using flounder and he is out catching some of those today so you should have a good trip.
-
We ended up limiting on sea bass - 240, and lingcod - 48. We were using anchovies and herring. There was A 67 LB Halibut caught and 2-3 cabezon. I think I was the only one who didn't catch a keeper ling. Ahh well, It was still a blast and we all came home with lots o fish! Sea only started to get rough as we were on our way back so it was really nice out there overall.
-
was it someone from the site with the NEW Derby leader hali
-
Great report! Glad you folks had a fun day! Still quota room on the halibut? The fishermen was able to keep it? 67lbs is a nice one! :tup:
-
Saw your pictures on facebook some nice fish it said the lady is now the leader in the halibut derby.
-
Well, being that I didn't catch a legal ling I'll hafta spice up my pictures of the trip:

-
Hopefully some of the guys will post up some of their pictures. There were some really beautiful fish caught...
-
I guess it's my turn :chuckle:here we go : the biggest Cabezon on the trip :IBCOOL:
-
That's what I'm sain'! What a cool fish! :tup:
-
That was a fun trip and one hell of a lot better for Glen this time around :chuckle: :chuckle: , I had a great time! We should definitely do it again this summer.
-
It was a great time. The 65# halibut was caught on our boat but not by a site member. Here are some pic's from a great trip. We had good sea's and great weather. I have a sunburned face.
-
Awesome pictures! When does halibut season close? Will we be able to keep them on our trip the first part of July?
-
Halibut is closed outside but still open inside 30 fathom until the quota is caught the trollers are catching a few salmon in 18 to 20 fathom on the northside so hope they stick around they are just outside of the green bouy line so there close.
-
I guess it's my turn :chuckle:here we go : the biggest Cabezon on the trip :IBCOOL:
i cut them nasty things off my line
they got hard spine looking things on them but there soft
and there meat it blue color
i love ling meat but the cabazone are just to weird for me
-
In the paper today a fisherman stopped and filed with the police department because he got sea sick and the captain would;nt bring him in because the other people wanted to fish so he called the coast guatd and wanted them to send a helecopter out to get him off the boat and they said no and he said nobody cared and I could have died.
-
Lol, i just got my laugh for the day reading that buckhorn! What an idiot.
-
Funny story Buckhorn2: a friend called me while we were driving to Westport ,who was on the boat the day earlier and he told me the story .I asked the skipper and he said : we had a chinese translator with 3 chinese clients - the translator got seasick and called in fact 911.... so the skipper said I better call coast guard because the call will get transfered anyway .So he called the CG and informed them of seasick person on the boatmaking that 911 call ..... they asked him him if he really tought he was only sea sick and he confirmed that .... after few minutes he got coal from the coasties (some big rank guy ).... so he told them what was going on . Nothing happened .
Yes the guy laid in the head on the floor (there is big head 5'x5' at least ) saying he will die ,die and later he said he will sue the skipper and they want their money back and and :chuckle:
We had one soul on the boat ,who shot it over the rail even after taking 2 Dramamine pills ....

Phil on the charter boat ultimate put a picture of the ocean today on facebook and it;s rough someone asked if anybody was sick and he said everybody

I said the exact same thing about getting a coast guard helicopter to come get me when I was 12. I would have mowed lawns for 3 years straight to pay them off if they would have came and rescued me! :chuckle:
-
It was in a local paper called the Bulliton it always has stuff in it about charter fishing and derby leaders. I guess the guy made quite a scene at the dock as he departed the boat.
-
Heck Del, that sound like my cousines husband :chuckle: What a card :chuckle: I'll bet when this clown tells his story, the water had 20 foot swells, and breaking at 15 feet

The captain of the boat the slammer said the guy was threating to sue everyone if the coast guard flew out and got every person that gets sea sick there would;nt be any fuel left in town. Gas is high down here make sure to top off before you get here. Saw a couple bears behind the house.
-
Sounds like I'm going to have to get the smoke pole zeroed, and the -06 :tup:

no i do cut them off and throw them back. everyone says that but i catch them all the time and throw em back whats so special about them?
-
When you cook them, the meat turns white. Many people would argue that cabs are probably the best tasting of the fish around here. You could probably keep the fillets and make some good buds if you won't eat them.....
-
I let cabezon go too. They aren't bad eating but also nothing special to me...they aren't all blue either. I just don't like cleaning them. They are armor plated and thick boned, too much work for a small gain to me. Are you saying you'll trade bud for cabbys Jimmy? If so...
-
hahaha im good on the buds quit along time ago. but if someone wants i can save them for someone lol how big is a big one? i just see them and unhook them and chuck em back
-
The Cabezone I have caught are delicious! :drool: My cab filets have been green in color and fry up very nice! Rival a Ling in table fair in my book.

I throw back a lot of Walleye. I get some negative looks and comments when people find out about that. Walleye are excellent eating, but some days its just fun to catch them and let um' go.
