It's still February and there's still a few February halibut biting. I went with Gage today and we caught two and lost a third one. This was outside the bay as inside the bay the water is as muddy as the creeks running into it. Outside was 55 degrees and green. Not much bait and only a few birds feeding here and there. The only other boats we saw were commercial boats stacking gear to either move to greener pastures or just give up and haul the pots home for the season. 

    The Coastodian sent over this photo on Monday with the report:" Hi Willy 

Just spoke to a couple that worked all day for 2 Dungeness crab limits and a bunch of red crab too.

Best hoop was three keepers. Lots of shorts and zeros along the way." So there's hope in the bay.
