Strategies for Pacific Halibut from a Kayak

Hey all,

I've been absent from NWKA for a little while, maybe too busy fishing. 

With halibut opening again in Washington, I put together an article covering my strategies for finding good areas to fish, what bait and tackle to use, and how to land halibut if you're so lucky.

I hope it's useful and at the very least helps get you excited for the opener.

Cheers!

GREAT article!

I hope to use some of that info one day....
Thanks for posting.

That is so badass! Thanks for posting

Awesome article. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent article and timing! Really nice to have all that info in one place. I'm hoping to get up to the strait of juan de fuca again soon to give it a go. Thanks for sharing it!

Thanks for the write-up. Your advice definitely meshes with a collection of advice I've picked up over the years. Nice to have it all in one place.

I agree with Captain Redbeard as articles like these are why I joined NWKA.  BYT, do you know how hard it is to buy a harpoon in Wyoming?  Even mail order was difficult but I have one now (just haven't practiced in my kayak yet).......     

Nice job on the article!  Great soup to nuts write-up.
