#9611, "RE: West Beach Float Tube 4/26/03 with photo" In response to In response to 0
Good on ya for the releases. I wish I could say the same for some of my buddies last year. The take got a little heavy down there.
There was a huge "bait event" that passed the harbor mid day Saturday just about 1/2 mile off. I was stuck hang gliding and responding to an accident down on east beach and watched it all the birds and broaching going on offshore. One of the guys I fly with who flew out to the beach is a commercial fisherman and said that the bait ball was huge and that there where big fish as well as seals working it. Can't say that was the reason for the good Halibut bite in the harbor but just that it was a kind of dynamic day all together.
That was Stevey Jordan flyfishing off the beach.He called me to tell me all about halibut in the harbor and and you catching them out of your tube. So you are verified and revered! "we are all in this together...those of us who want to be"
