Halibut fishing is exciting because it is a longer range trip 30 to 50 miles, and the fish get big. It is not uncommon to catch halibut over 40 pounds. This trip is physically demanding with a longer ride, and fishing in water depths up to 750 feet. When weather and time permit we can also try for deepwater lingcod. Trip will leave between 4:30AM and 6:30AM depending on weather and tides.
