You might be able to get some halibut there but definitely not a hotspot. It can get ugly for a 16 foot boat around little beach too so make sure to keep an eye on the weather obviously. If it is windy there is lots of places in the sound that will be productive.

Were you talking to me kaelc ?? If you were sorry for the slow reply.
Fun, we are putting the boat in Tuesday, hope they are still there! Son will love it.
What a great trip!!!! Next time we’ll have to get out, boat looks dialed and ready for tuna!
Hey Walleys it was good meeting you and your son. Great pics. It was full on today on south. Boated 7 beauties with the new crew.Some pics of our trip.
Little boat with a big heart. Was sure impressed with the way she handled the rough water. Fished anything that was fishable and traveled in it with ease. No regrets with this purchase, I have found my lifetime boat.
Off the rocks at Eagles Nest. Had the rod tips just about kissing those rocks, pulled a couple nice hogs out of those back eddies rolling over the underwater boulders. I could smell those big nooks hanging around down there, just had to coax them out.
Lots off bait in those pockets, just had to work them.
Yup, the were in there.
Offshore was definitely busier and much easier to troll.
Picked up a few of these and quite a few Black Rock fish as well. Be some nice fish tacos in the future.
And my oldest boys first Halibut and what a fish, lots of power in this one. Hard coming up and when i came up and saw the boat it did a run and darn near made bottom again.
And of course its not all about the fish eating we had to eat too. Hot grilled lunch every day. Most days we let the sea provide but on this day some Alberta beef was in order. Steak sandwich anyone.
Now, count the days until next year. Always goes so fast that trip, some day soon Lord willing I'll be spending a month at a time out there but until then these trips keep me going.
What kind of rockfish is that?I've caught a few of them in the past but tossed them back as I wasn't sure what they were.Some pics of our trip.

Yah you bet,, good to see you on the site. I enjoyed our evening chats and swapping info especially with a fellow Kingfisher owner lol.
You have to be careful not to be tossing yellow eye in the boat thinking they are vermilion. Although similar it isn’t that hard to tell the difference.
Heading to Ukee Friday and would love to get some squid. Would anyone have an idea if they are still around and what to use for them? Also, we are at the Floathouse Restaurant dock, is that a good dock to fish for squid?
Yeah that yellow eye is a dead give away lol
