Having never fished for halibut before I am hoping some of you more experienced fisher people can point me in the right direction by answering a few questions. I've already found the halibut.net and salmonuniversity.com sites so I know a little about techniques and areas. What I'm looking for is guidance on areas where I can focus my efforts to learn about the fishery.

1) Where do you recommend I focus my efforts? As I see it my choices are Sekiu, Port Angeles or Sequim. Neah Bay is ruled out due to boat size.

2) What are water/weather conditions like near Port Angeles and Sequim relative to Sekiu. I've boated Sekiu in the fall in pursuit of coho so am using that area as a point of reference.

Thanks in advance for any advise/opinions.

James
