At it again- June 15th, 2014

The bite was on again today, as you can see we had another very productive day of fishing out of Seward, Alaska.  Fishing the shallows near Montague Island has been great.  The halibut came up to the boat one by one and as you can see from the pics, it was one of the best weather days of the year.  Numerous fish around 100 pounds were landed and the a few fisherman on the Sea Quest were strapped in for the ride of their lives.  

We have had a great season thus far despite a few summer storms that have had us tight to the dock.  I hope that tomorrows storm warning is the last for the year.  NOAA weather is calling for 45 knots of wind and 12' seas by tomorrow night.  It looks like this system will come in with some fury and be gone by Wednesday.  Great job to everyone on the boat for landing such great fish, I'm sure we will have a few sore forearms by tomorrow.  FISH ON!
