We made way towards the Island of Montague and dropped the anchor in a spot I have yet to fish this year.  Once again the current was extremely strong making it hard to keep the 3lb weight to the bottom.  The jigs were definitely the choice of the halibut this morning, landing the two biggest fish on the boat.  The bite was constant but we weren’t getting much size to our halibut, averaging 15lbs – 20lbs.  At about 12:30 we pulled anchor to a spot that I have done well in the past but received only one bite and landed one fish.  They say never to leave fish to find fish, I agree but the gamble can sometimes be worth it.  August 21, 2009  I left an area that I was catching fish in to run 8 miles in the complete opposite direction from home.  It was late in the day and I was only 6 fish shy of a limit.  Within an hour of dropping the anchor we caught a 305lbs and a 168lbs halibut.  You can see why this is a difficult call at times.

At 3pm we pulled anchor and ran 20 min to a spot that was sure to hold some fish.  Within an hour we landed 47 halibut.  It was chaos on the deck but everyone was having a great time.  The deckhands really worked for their money running around the boat enough times to equal the distance of a marathon.  All in all a great day with great weather.  The rain never showed and the sea state was flat calm with no wind.  Can’t complain … this has been a great spring.

Our next trip is this Thursday, See you there…FISH ON!!!
