Anyone go fishing for the halibut out of neah bay? If so any good advice for a guy wanting to go for the first time?

I was wondering when this thread was gonna start!

Don't go Thursday. 9 foot swells make for exciting surf launches.

Grab a trusty buddy, pick a launch location, and drag some bait around the bottom.  :banjo:

This is a tight-lipped group ;-)

Halibut from the kayak is on my bucket list. I'm hoping to get lucky one day off the reef, but at some point I'll go on a dedicated halibut trip.

I've watched this video a few times to get notes on gear, primarily gear related to dispatching a big 'ole halibut without getting hurt or drowned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjXlB9VdSSc&list=LL&index=8&t=3s

Que tengas suerte.

Personally, I think you'll learn more from this one:

Lesson being, don't fish with Jed.   :D

Just pulled the plug for this weekend.

If this weather keeps up we're gonna get another August opener.
