Couple buddies and I went halibut fishing for our first time ever. We decided we would give Seiku, Wa. a try over the Memorial Day weekend. We left Sat. @ 2AM from Ocean Shores, Wa. & trailered our boat to Seiku. Got the boat in the water and headed out to the big blue by 6ish. All 3 of us Hali virgins were able to get gear down hitting the bottom and using our contour map to locate suitable grounds. Nothing!!!
After loosing the first round (day) to the hali's we got some rest, prayed, looked & listened for intell. and were eager to get that "first" halibut in the boat. After discussing the days failure to land a butt we decided to make a few slight modifications in our presentation. confident that we had a solid game plan we were very eager to get back out Sat morning.
We hit it hard all day with only Mr. Octopus to show for it. We had a great time and all vowed to continue make "halibut quest" a team thing and conquer its hali-butt!!!

Re: Seiku, Wa. Skunkorama
I usually just use a chunk of octopus for bait.
