Was able to get out again to try for some more halibut. My buddy Jim was able to join me, otherwise I would’ve been home….thanks Jim! It was overcast, windy, choppy and cool on the way out and was hoping the conditions would be better as we got closer to the Oakland airport area, nope-worse, wind was out of the south. Set out the water anchor/drift sock and started trolling frozen herring. Action was slow, got a hit and Jim a shaker, then we lost the water anchor, rope broke (I think a couple of Allen screw heads on the back rail wore through it). Luckily had another smaller one on board and put that out, all good. The ride in was smoother until we crossed under the Bay Bridge headed to Berkeley, got fairly snotty (so happy with the new helm enclosure, kept us nice and dry!) Ended up with 2 halibut keepers and 1 striper, no complaints!

Very nice 40G, hope to get out up her in the next couple weeks and try for some Halibut myself. Nice pics, congrats

Very nice! Those halibut look like a perfect eating size for several fresh meals without having to go into the deep freeze. Good test for your new boat modifications too!


Thanks and yes sir FY! I do have a vacuum packer, so the deep freeze isn’t too bad.

Way2Go Denny, some nice fish you two caught! Weather looks great in the background, no snot in sight. Keep them lines tight my friend.


Thanks Garey! At the dock the weather was nice, but the wind gave me fits tying the boat up.

Alright Denny. Glad you caught a few. However, it doesn't sound like a pleasant outing to me.
SNOTTY should NOT be in the description of a boat ride. Specially if FISHIN is involved.


Thanks Steve, again I thought how you would not have enjoyed the conditions out there, I was rocking all evening after I got home.

I guess I'm just too laid back. Fun and easy works just fine for me.
