    57 LB Halibut and more

    After 40 years of fishing Channel islands we finally got the glory fish.A great way to wrap up a weekend of awsome catching.Last year Rick and I had a double on 40lbers at Rosa that seemed big, this fish made those look small.We started on Fri night making squid and getting set up for Seabass on Sat morning.We plugged the tank with squid in short order and settled in for the night.Super dense fog rolled in and stayed for the whole weekend.
    Sat morning came and went with out any seabass showing so we did a couple drifts and scored a little Halibut.We then moved up the back of the island and had some great Calico fishing .From there it was over to the Rosa flats for some reds and lings.We filled the box pretty quick so we went back to the squid area and started a drift.With in 3 mins I had a nice 25lb Hali on board.That was it for Sat.Sun started with a nice Halibut and then the Seabass moved in.We had a single followed by a quad,that was a fun fire drill.On our next drift Ricks lucky hexagon Truline goes off.This fish has some shoulders and we could tellright away it was a nice flat fish.When I saw color I started getting shakey,thats when I know I'm having fun.Any way the fish put up a good back and forth for about 10 mins the gave me a shot for the gaff and boom on the deck it slammed.I was waiting for the thing to go balistic while I was scrambling for a rope to tie it off but the fish was toast.







    Here are a few shots from the last few weeks.

    Fishing has been as good as it gets the past few years,I think the gill net ban has alot to do with it.Good luck on your next trip,Gernsey.
