Halibut fishing today and tomorrow, then charging south around 2am Thurs morning just before this weather window closes.   Won't be able to post those pics until we get back to WA.
Deploying our secret weapon for halibut today-

I need your fish, Skillet.

Looking to get my supply of kings going again in May, we'll talk for certain!

Made it to Everett, hauled out, mission accomplished.

Really want to thank Woodchuck's buddy Rich for taking the time off of work to run the boat south with me.  Weather was an issue, but he rolled with the punches and always kept a positive attitude. The best kind of guy to have on the boat with you.  We had a lot of fun, and he's always welcome back on the boat.

A few more pics for @jackelope - sorry to say, the secret weapon produced no fish this time... But it did help us kill a few beers.

And the last pic of the boat in the slings here in Everett.
Now the work begins.

The beers were good I bet....
There's always next year for the secret weapon!! Sounds like an awesome trip.
