Finally got the boat out on the open waters. Dave Alexander and I ran near the 20/10 yesterday. Was not wide open for us but stayed busy after a couple hours trolling hoochies and wma for nodda so we switched to bait and things picked up. Otw 80-130 we managed 3 in the box with a few coming unbuttoned mixed with silvers and smalls. Was great to get the boat out and get a feel for it, very rewarding to bring fish home." Nice work. There's not much better than catching fish in your own boat.
Mike Miller sent me a jealousy picture: "Willy here's picture from sunday.32" 34" 36"
" He didn't tell me where he caught them but I'm assuming it wasn't Marshall. It is possible to catch large halibut at Marshall but your lucky to get one in ten trips. Three in one trip seems like a Hog to the bar thing. Wherever he caught them, damn. Nice fish.
Very nice halibut!!!
ReplyDeleteDANG!!!!!! Look at those flatties!
ReplyDeleteThat's a dream for me, someday I'll actually make an honest effort for hali and I may just catch some.
Hey Willy, been enjoying the blogs almost every day this summer! Asking for a friend because i dont know the answer and i know you will. Can you use crab pots for rock crab currently or is it closed like with dungeness because of whales? Thanks Chris
ReplyDeleteRejoice! Traps are now open for reds, as Dungeness is now officially closed statewide. It's in the regs. Don't worry, with the numbers of whales around this year, I think chances are that we will close for traps when Dungeness opens. So, smoke 'em if you got 'em.
