In reply to the original question of bottomfishing in Sekiu, fish along the kelp beds both East and West of the bay using the methods described above. If you plan to launch at Sekiu and motor up to Neah, make sure your boat has the size and fuel to do the trip. There's not much bottom structure around Sekiu for good bottomfish cover so you might consider trailering up to Neah and launching there if you have a smaller boat to be on the safe side.

A note on Canadian Halibut fishing:
This year starting around the 1st of April, you'll be able to buy a Canadian Halibut license online. The Canadian limit is 2 fish versus 1 fish for U.S. waters. We have a May 2nd trip planned with Tommycod and plan to fish on the Canadian side and this new feature will save us a road trip to Blaine to aquire our 1 day permits. I will also be in Sekiu the week of July 7th for some king salmon and Halibut action and I'm looking for some Halibut gps numbers within a 5 mile radius from the bay. If anybody has them plotted, please reply or send me an email.
