useless bay is a bear to launch at, make sure its high tide when you launch an come back. and if its not make sure you have tires for sand!
Its a beast of drag without the right tires on the cart. Also there is stairs you have to go down with the boat.. useless bay ive heard holds halibut , its just the work getting into the water.
 

If it does open up later I might be able to, but I have some travel around that time. I'll PM you some details if it looks like I'll be able to. I'll also send some PMs around to see if anyone else is interested. If I can get some solid plans sorted I'll  go out and buy some extra bigass jigs and a harpoon.

Awesome.. What I'll do it hit the store this weekend and pick up some stuff and send out some PMs. There is another thread just titled 'Halibut' that is talking about the exact spot as well.. Maybe there can be a little group of us. I also need to scope out the weather. I'll post up and send some PMs in the next day or two.

I'll probably give it a go at Useless Bay on Saturday morning.  Going to a church men's retreat since the ocean is looking too rough for my tastes.  Bear of a job getting to the water or not, my time frame is likely dawn to 8:30AM or so.  Might hit it again in the evening if time allows.

Hoping no body got caught in the fog this morning, figures the first day of butt fishing would also be the first day of heavy fog.  Eager to hear if anyone went out.

I fished the better part of the day. I launched my kayak into Mutiny Bay around 7:00 am.  It was a gorgeous and calm morning after the fog cleared, (i got a nice sunburn!).  No halibut. I was fishing with some big herring, no luck, so I switched to squid. The only problem with squid was that I hooked onto  flounder within seconds of hitting the bottom, every time! Normally, that wouldn't be unwelcomed, but since it was a day for halibut, I switched back to herring and like I said, no luck... I had turn to turn in as the thunder and lightning started to roll in.

I drug a herring around Useless Bay for a few hours Saturday morning.  No luck on halibut.  Thought I felt one tug, and next time I reeled up the herring was gone.  More likely a dogfish than a halibut, but who knows?
