ARW 4-1-09 2 halibut in the frig

hit the wall today at 630am hooked up 2 halibut in the afternoon. one 24 at about 1 o'clock and the other 22+
at 300pm the wind was a bitch all day it only stopped for 20min or so i have some pics but the pic
I took of the halibut was to large to send from my cellphone, this I don't understand because I took the
dam thing with the phone  oh well whatever.

As for the halibut they are there and so is the bait 

"PS" remember to keep your fingers out of a halibuts mouths

sleepy time CYA Duane  

Good stuff...what were you using?

Ouch! Well at least they are in the fridge and you are in bed. Good job. Did your sock help much? WTG Duane.

WTG, Duane, esp in the wind. Today's forecast said wind, wind & more wind.
Assume you were using bait but I see a swim bait in the pic. Never mind, I saw your post saying you caught smelt for bait.

Thanks for officially starting the season Duane.  It's all about the bait when it comes to Halibut.

Your my American Hali Idol.....
My pics are doing weird things too?

Dude Duane right on brother. Way to stick it out. It was the same kind of snotty conditions last Sunday.

Congrats on your catch.  2 hali's in the fridge is awesome eats.

Dude, I want to see some action shots of the throw-net in action, Ive only heard stories... you are the smelt-king.

We want to see pictures of the fish not your "bloody finger"    Congrat on the catches and thank you for the report.

Righto MasterBaiter!!!!!

 Ouch!!!!     Never forget when one of those hali's bit me in the Arse when I was turn around to get the stringer...

 " Ouch...    My Butt is Biting my Butt "     Got a good laugh out of that..

 can't wait to hook up with ya soon

way to go duane, I fished there last friday for nada with shiners and then you guys score with smelt, nice.

the water sure looks muddy in those pics, I wonder if its because of this...

I netted about 15 large smelt, I used no swim baits they are just in case all my bait is gone
I wish I could post the pic of the halibut's but it is stuck in my phone

hay Ben that's is a good idea I could make a video of my net throwing
because i do it a totally different way then they show you in the instructions my way
is better then the way they do it.

my next trip will be next week on wed I have to work all weekend
so wont be going out till then.

good luck to all that can fish this weekend

Thanks Duane. Did the sock slow you down considerably? After last saturdays blow out I am thinking about one.

Thanks Duane. Did the sock slow you down considerably? After last Saturdays blow out I am thinking about one.

yes the sock will slow you down big time lets say, if the wind is blowing you at 2.2 mph the sock
will bring it down to 1.5 mph it is a must have for live bait fishing
