Troy,
Persistence pays off .  Congrat on the 1st halibut of the year!  I was there about two weeks ago.  Got blown out of the water after paddling over an hour to get to the end of the pier.  I was just about to give up on Berkley Pier until I saw your post.  You inspire me to try again.  Good job.

 good work troy!

Right on Troy!

Nice fish Troy I know you are eating good tonight Deep fried butte with hush puppies.

Hey Troy it was nice meeting you, we got skunked.

Troy...U da Man!  Glad you had something to bring home today besides our usual tired stories...

I need to get my fish mojo right...I had a hali up to the side of the boat today but couldn't finish.

That's fishing!

Gary

nice fish, you steal those gloves from mickey mouse? 

Right on.... Troy!
I think JTF was out there too.  Did you see him in his blue Tarpon 160?

way to go Troy!  I saw you out there and tried to hail you on the radio but ya didn't hear me.  I had a nice takedown on the right side of the pier ruins about 400 yards from the end of the fishing pier, the halibut let me get him up for a second then he made an attempt for the pilings, i pulled back and he in return pulled me in to the pilings.  I had to put my foot against a piling to keep from slamming and as i did the butt made another run straight down the middle of pilings, bye, bye , I rerigged and had another fish bite but didn't stick no less than 5 minutes after losing the other one.  same spot.  what a day, short and sweet for me though, i was on the water by 9 and off by 1230, not so rough but the wind can be a bitch sometimes.   nice to see the skunk is off Troy.  JTF..

Looks like the MOJO gods are now on your side. Great job Troy!!

WTG Troy!!!

To kill them (or at least calm them down) I think most people try to stun them a bit with a bat then get you knife out and cut there spinal cord right behind there head.
