Labor Day at WG

Made it out for my second day of fishing this year. That just sounds wrong. A great summer and only two days fishing. Anyway... Beautiful calm day. Super small tides. Saw 4 fish. 1 immature ling. 1 eight pound halibut. (Kept it since it was the first I've seen since July 6 and I had no fish in the freezer. Lost about a 15 pounder at the boat. Finished with a 25 - 30 pounder. That should take care of me for the winter.

Two other kayakers came in and had also had a good morning. 

Now I just hope there's some action of the spit this year. I could use a couple salmon.

Hope to see you all still this season.

Glad to hear you got out! 

We got out Saturday.  Fishing was slow but we were using small gear to try and catch a halibut that we could grill up for shore lunch.  Fishing was slow enough that it was probably a good thing we stuck with the small gear.  We kept four fish all well under 10 pounds.  Still it was pretty amazing that we used only 3 out of 4 fillets from a fish that had to be well under 5 pounds and it provided us more than enough fish for Ryu to try his hand at fixing us up with a killer shore lunch.  Grilled halibut, Baked Halibut, roasted garlic and portobello mushrooms! AWESOME!!!  What a beautimous day!!!!!

That looks like a great lunch.
