Gotta get some BUTTS!!!

Heading out of Westport Sunday for the opener of Halibut season. Anybody else going to brave the weather? They are predicting an incredibly long season this year before the quota is met...6 days.#-o

Tailgunner will be in La Push for the north coast opener on the 12th. Questionable water so far, but we may just have to press on.

A buddy and I went out of Freshwater Bay (area 6) Friday night and yesterday. I got skunked, but he landed a chicken. Not a big fish (I estimate low teens), but any day you can put a halibut in your 15-foot skiff on the Strait is a successful trip in my opinion! :cheese:

Report with picture should pop up in Area 6 reports sometime today.

Looking forward to Sekiu!
