The Canadian halibut are way out in deep water - 450' - 500'. Four of us fished three days - limits in about 1-2 hours after a 3 hour ride each way. Two largest were 77 and 65, rest were in 30's to a couple in 40's. Jambo's charter boat got an 87 pounder. Swiftsure is very slow, so be prepared for an all dayer
