We did manage to get some halibut on Thursday, though our spot did not produce at the same clip that it usually does. Due to some serious operator error we not only missed a few bites, but went a dismal 2-8 on hooked up and fighting fish, losing two of them with less than 100' of line out after doing the heavy duty of getting them over 400 feet off the bottom.

A couple of nice lings and rockfish limits on both Thursday and Friday, but that Friday weather was a bastard!

Overall I came home with a decent haul of groceries.

Fish checkers and cleaning stations both indicated that fishing was rather poor, at least compared to the usual opening week halibut productivity.

We fished out of Neah Bay, and went south and west from Tattoosh

Fish on...
