Weather report was not looking nice this morning. We left the bay and were pushing slowly up the coast through the lumpy NE 20kt of wind and 4 foot chop. The further we went the nicer it got, by 2pm we had 5kt of wind and 1′ seas. We made it all the way to Montague Island and the fishing was great. We tried 1 spot in the morning for some large fish but got no bites in an hour and a half. After we went for the quick bit to limit the boat out with halibut so we could move onto salmon. The salmon have been a bit slow lately so it’s important to give ourselves time to find them. Lucky for us the salmon were not far from the halibut grounds. In the end we ended up with a few giant lingcod, limit of halibut and 31 salmon. It was a great trip and the weather man was wrong for the first time in a while. Glad we poked our nose out today it was worth the trip. FISH ON!
