Neah Bay 2008

My annual trip to NB is in the books. This time I had my own boat! It was a great trip as we spent a full 7 days fishing. Sunday through Wednesday was slow due to the weather. I was forced to stay close and wasn't able to dial in on the fishing inside the strait. I also couldn't find the halibut in Canada. I burned some miles going to Canada only to find nothing, then running to the WA coast to try and salvage the day.

Finally on Thursday after a morning of basically burning gas in Canada almost reaching Bamfield, I turned the boat around and headed for Tatoosh. We decided to fish the Table Top area and found the coho. We limited fast and also went to get our rockfish limits. That was pretty much the routine until the last day when we tried fishing at first light infront of Waddah island for Kings. We went 2 for 4 with the Kings. I wish we would have known and we would have done that every morning.

Kandi hooked a huge King that we lost by the boat while we were fishing for rockfish off Cape Alava. That fish was huge! It sucks that we didn't capitalize.
