It was a blast, we do it every year and we never are disapointed in the results although we do end up wet by the time we get one that size gaffed and wack it enough to drag it into the boat!
We found a couple spots to get Halibut all the time in calm water and only about 100 feet of water, pretty fun break from the Situk.

I hear the Situk has been staying high and hard to fish with all the rain, I hope the guys up there now from this board get into some great fishing. If not, I will make sure they get back even if I have to take a loss to get them back, I don't want anyone coming up and not having a trip of a lifetime. There are no gimmies in fishing with our weather, but we are commited to every fisherman having a great trip.
