JUST FOR THE HALIBUT

September 21 2008

Well we went into town like I stated, however the storm they were predicting never materializes in fact it got down right warm that day. I guess I should have shot for getting out in the bay, but not knowing how the weather conditions change in this area we felt it may not be a good idea.


Went down to the dock around 4 or so, to see what the fishermen were bringing in this time. Both cleaning stations were busy with fishermen cleaning Halibut. They got some pretty nice fish. I had to ask them where they went and they told me about 15 miles outside the bay.
















I believe all of the fishermen limited out. Tried to learn how to fillet the Halibut by watching them fillet, but I don’t think I learned much. According to them it’s pretty easy, but of course it’s easy to them since they do this all the time. I think they were local residents. I was able to take few pictures of them filleting, but really looking at the pictures don’t show you much.

There is a charter boat here at the marina that specifically goes out for Halibut, but its pretty expensive. Who knows, when I get my new 45 foot yacht. I may attempt a trip or two out in the wide open Ocean. I know, dream on Tom.
