Eureka Halibut Action

5-5-2018
Marc Schmidt

The Pacific halibut bite is still ripping along up here. We ended with 5 nice ones for the four guys and myself today and they were all dandies 26-51 lbs with a 49 and 51 lber to top the catch. We dropped a couple good fish also after hookups so they are biting! Also pulling limits of nice crabs for those that want them in the mornings on the way out of the bay for those who want them till the end of the month. Get some friends and figure out some dates to check out with me before the calander fills up. I may be able to put a trip together for this tues if there is enough interest. Lots of boats out today catching so not sure if the quota will last till even July 15th if the weather stays decent and they keep biting. Salmon opens June 1st and halibut will be open till June 15th till it’s first closure period. Call Marc to get out on Scrimshaw. 707-601-3474
