I haven't been fishing much this winter with work and life schedules, plus i seriously fukked my leg (ER visits x2)up and Ive been pretty immobilized as of late...but I'm really looking forward to the bottomfish opener next week/weekend. 'Rogue and I have been busy getting spreaders and bait prepped this week, a few of you know where my first drop will be  If any of you who are not part of the Sno-King PSA outing are going to be staying IN PT or fishing in the area next week we should all meet up for a brew one night in PT. From what I have heard , during the tail end of the BM fishery a good number of halibut were caught. Sound like they are in this year.... should be fun!

I caught one trolling a cut plug herring on the south end of San Juan Island. 100ft. of water right on the bottom of course. On the south end of the salmon banks. When I was BM fishing. The Sherriff boat that visited me said they were migrating thru and would probably be gone by the opener. It was about 40lbs. wish I could have kept it it was the only bite I got in two days.

If one were so motivated, where / what would you do out of Edmonds? in the Sea Kitten? (15' Arima Sea Chaser)
If you've got gas $ and the energy (I've got little of either)...
Good Luck Sky Guy! May the Flat be with you ;-)

You could run to the PT area in an hour in your boat Jeff, or fish off Double bluff, and in Mutiny and Admiralty bay...
