Flat calm water for our local potluck this morning. In the beginning fish were a little on the small side. 30 minutes later WHAM! Fish got bigger, stronger, lots of doubles and a fat 15 pound lingcod. Kids won’t forget this for a long long time.

Since halibut fishing has been so good lately we all decided it was worth a shot. And it was rhe right choice! Hooked into 9 halibut and kept the biggest two. Weather was flat calm. Great catching in the halibut fishing grounds.

July 5 – Morning trip
Gorgeous day on the water. Flat seas, no wind, and a wee bit foggier than usual. Ran out to South Rock for a local potluck trip. Took some time to get the fish to bite but after an hour or so the bite went wide open! A couple hours into the trip we had a Great White shark circling less than one hundred feet from the boat. Sat there for about ten minutes then moved on. WOW! Great folks and great rockcod fishing today.

Out to the Jurassic grounds today. We had a small window of weather so we needed to catch as fast as we could and get out of there before the winds showed up. No problem, as soon as we dropped in our lines we had doubles on all six rods. BIG blues too! We hammered the area and when we got all our fish headed back to home port. Even got a nice 33 inch lingcod in the battle. Great time with some really great guys. Happy Father’s Day Jack and Jack Jr. You guys rock!
June 12
Ran a bit offshore for our local potluck today. Water is still a little bumpy from the recent weather. As soon as we dropped in our lines it was a wide open bite! Got our fish early today. Pics are just some of the fish. Ten-year old Robbie’s first time on the ocean. Fun fun fun.
June 9
Wow. Ran up the coast for our Jurassic Park trip and as soon as we dropped our lines in we started catching fish. It was non-stop action until we couldn’t catch anymore fish. After getting our fill of rockcod, we came closer to port and tried for halibut. Beautiful day on the water. Great family too.

Jurassic Park today up the coast with so-so water conditions. Took a while to find some willing fish then after a couple hours the bite went wide open. Prior to the trip, our party also prepared some ceviche fixings. All that was needed was fish. Added some fish and we all got ceviche for lunch. Great guys, great fishing and great fun.

Another beautiful day out for halibut (although sea was a little bumpy). Great time with the guys and we got a halibut!
