| Halibut: |
The directed season for Halibut is now closed for 2010. However, Halibut may still be retained on trips for Rockfish and Lingcod in the “Nearshore Area”. This area is defined as the area north of latitude 46-58 and inside 30 fathoms. An 88 pounder was caught in that area during the first week of May!
|
| Rock Fish/Ling Cod: |
Rockfish is open year around. Lingcod season opened in March. Our largest Lingcod to date tipped the scales at over 31 pounds. Trips have been very successful including the occasional Halibut! Charters are available 7 days per week.
|
| Salmon: |
The Westport salmon season is open 7 days per week through Sunday, September 19. The bag limit is 2 (2 kings, 2 Coho, or 1 of each). Boats are leaving at daylight and returning mid-afternoon.
|
| Tuna: |
Tuna fishing is getting into full swing and fishing has been very good. The fish are close (25-40 mile run) and of great quality and good quantity. Tuna fishing should last into early October.
