Halibut - Partridge Bank

Halibut fishing continues to be good for anglers fishing all of the normal spots. Generally, I would have to say we have seen a "Good" start to the season. There have been a number of really large fish caught on the banks since the opener. We have heard of a number in the 100 plus range and even one that pushed the 200 range. Lots of the preferred eating sized fish in the 20 - 40 pound range have been landed in good number. Most fishermen we have talked with have been doing well enough at least to be keeping their interest up and not getting discouraged. Tides are looking better for the time being and we should see some better fishing for the short duration, until the next minus tide sequence.

Ted Measor called this morning from Partridge Bank and had landed a nice one of 35 pounds.
