WG report 5/1

Left my house early to fish the slack tide which was around 8 am this morning.  Launched about 715 and hooked into the king around 720.  I was trolling a herring behind a flasher in about 15 feet of water.  I then headed out to deeper water (my understanding of the regulations are that once you catch a king, you have to be at least a mile off shore to keep fishing).  Caught my first halibut off a kayak around 1030 in about 60 feet of water.  Neither fish was very big...I'd guess around 10-12 pounds each, but no complaints from me!  Conditions were pretty good and I found the "spot forecast" for today to be pretty accurate...10 knot winds and 1-2 ft wind swells and fortunately no shorebreak whatsoever.  Made it back to anchorage by 330.  Tight lines!

AWESOME!!!!!!!! Wooohoooo!!!!!! Congrats!!!! Way to get her done!!!!!!!

Great news, Great Job Erick!

Beautiful fish! I'm sure most people here are just as jealous as I am! Congrats on the fish. What a score.
