May 30th Halibut Trip

West winds continued to remain off shore again today making yet another perfect day of halibut fishing in the Gulf of Alaska.  We fished a shallow water rock pile and soaked salmon heads in hope of some larger halibut, but could not get anything to hook up.  Today was not our day for big fish. We moved off shore around 12pm and found  a rockpile that was holding some very decent fish, ranging 15lb-30lb.  Solid fish and we were happy to get them after such a slow bite in the morning.  The sun was blazing down on us all day with light variable winds.  2 giant Octopus were caught off the rockpile and I was able to get some great HD video footage of them in the water that we will soon be adding to the blog.  It was a great day to be on the water, you guys were great! Thanks again for coming out with us.

Next trip for the Sea Quest will be this friday... there are seats left so call (907)224-BOOK to reserve your seat.  FISH ON!!!!
