Westport halibut

We had a four man crew for the final day of halibut fishing at Westport on Sunday

The weather sucked! Windy and rough,  most boats turned around and the few boats that did make it out earned every fish they caught.
We really took a beating on the run out but we stuck  with it and we were rewarded with very good halibut  fishing. The weather was too rough to go for our lings or bass but we did end up with four nice halibut.

 

Neah Bay Halibut and bottom fish

Mike  L, Eric C, Mike M  and I fished Neah bay last week. The overall  bottom fishing was very good we were able to catch some very nice halibut. The salmon fishing still seemed very slow but there were some very nice hatchery kings taken by a few that put the time and effort in . The overall weather was  good most of the week. The wind did kick up a bit at times but the swells remained small.

We had our best results using a combination of jigs and bait for the halibut while jigs and grubs were working best for the lingcod and rock fish.
It would be nice to get a few more days of deep water fishing in at Neah bay  before the main salmon season opens but we will have to wait and see if they reopen it.

 

 

 

Westport halibut & lings

We had a 3 man crew at Westport on Sunday the fishing was very good it did not take us long to catch our limits of halibut and lingcod. The day started off with good weather but the wind came up in the afternoon which made for a long bumpy ride back in.

 

 

 

 

 

Neah bay halibut & lingcod

We had a four man crew up at neah bay last week, Chuck G, Andy M, Peate K, and myself.

The overall bottom fishing was good. We had a mix of both slow and hot fishing but over all I was very happy with our results.
The salmon fishing was very slow so we did not put much effert in to it, but there were a few nice hatchery kings caught by A few that put their time in.

i was joined by Mike L, Eric C, and Rocky

The weather was great and so was the fishing.

It was sunny, warm and flat calm all day, the weather could not have got any better!
We were able to catch easy limits of midgrade halibut and limits of very nice lings
We did  well on both bait and jigs on Sunday,  but the jigs seemed to be working  a little better.
