Trinidad Coastal salmon, halibut challenge the hook

Curt Wilson of Wind Rose Charters reports the super rough water has made the fishing conditions tough for salmon, rockfish and halibut. He said, “The ocean was a little better than forecasted on Tuesday, but I only heard of one salmon caught by the dozen or so boats who were trying. We’ve had to move out to deeper water for rockfish due to the choppy waters, but the blacks are still on the bite. The lings have been a little tougher to come by lately. Not many have tried for halibut since the opener, and I haven’t heard of any being caught as of Tuesday.”
