Halibut fishing opened yesterday

doogie

Didn’t get a hook wet. And if you’re expecting a good fish story here, you’d better stop reading right now.

The group kept growing. Didn’t leave the dock until noon. Ran into a buddy in the parking lot who was experiencing boat issues laughing at me as I returned the dock cart when he heard we weren’t going fishing after all, we were going cruising for Orca sighting$$$

Visibility was about 1/4 mile.

Want a picture? Here.



got it off the internet.

Sometimes shit goes sideways at the dock. It's almost as if the weather gods were mocking you the way it was sunny for two straight weeks and then decided to change right in time for your fishing trip.

The reports I heard were not good if that's any consolation. The fish checkers saw lots of empty fish boxes.

Never really put much effort into fishing for halibut. I like eating them, but can't tell you about catching them. I went for lings and sea bass today. Got a bunch. Ling cod fish and chips for dinner tomorrow. One of my faves.

Good luck out there.

Halibut fishing is about as boring as it gets compared to going for just about anything else and even when you get one in the line it’s like reeling up an old tire from the bottom of the ocean...but it doesn’t get much better than eating fresh halibut.

Yeah did it in Alaska and it wasn't that exciting for sure just reeling something up, not much fight.
