That would be one h*ll of a cast. The boats where using downriggers in about 150 ft of water. Flasher and Hoochies about 200 yards offshore.(private beach) Sorry if I mislead you. This is a boat fishery north of Bremerton. If the Times said the fish were caught from the beach I have no idea. Maybe the Times means some hole down by the shipyards off the docks. Good luck.
