We fished ilwaco Friday , Saturday and Westport Sunday and Monday
The overall fishing this weekend was very good but the
weather was poor most of the weekend.
We had great halibut fishing on Friday at ilwaco. The fish were biting very good and we were
able to get our limits very easily but the weather came in later in the day
which made for a poor bar crossing on the way in. on Saturday we had to wait a while for the
bar to open due to rough conditions and a strong ebb but when it did we had just enough time to
run out and get our fish and get back in before the ebb. The overall ocean
conditions on Saturday were poor windy and choppy but the fishing was very good our biggest halibut of
the day was 51 pounds.
Sunday we fished Westport for lingcod and halibut the lingcod fishing was fantastic! We had very fast action on giant lings. Our biggest Lingcod of the day was 41 pounds and we did not have a small ling in the box. The halibut fishing was also very fast we caught easy limits but were not able to find any monsters. The weather conditions were not perfect on Sunday a stiff breeze from the north made getting to our fishing holes a bit slower then I would have liked. Monday we fished the near shore area out of Westport we had very fast action on black rock fish and were able to get limits very fast. We had to work a bit harder for our lings but we stuck with it and were able to come in with limits of lings and we even landed a bonus halibut that we were able to keep. The wind blew hard from the south late in the day which made for a slow ride in. We had to cancel Tuesdays trip because of weather but I expect the bottom fishing to continue to be good for the next several weeks. I sill have some halibut spots open for this Saturday may 9th 253-208-9142
