Have we heard back from Kory? Is he alive and well? Those breakers were 15-17 feet when I last checked in...YIKES...and that's an understatement...I hope he got some fish if they even made it past "the bar."

thanks fishingmachine. the limit is 2 lings and 10 sea bass. but you can catch as many as u can until the boat limits. since there were 19 people we had to catch 38 lings. and not everybody caught 2 so i caught 4. and same goes with the sea bass. and the total amount of sea bass was 190

the metal clips are numbers. so when you catch a ling the deckhand comes up and asks you what number you are and they then put a big safety pin thing in the lings lip that has your number on it. what determines your number is what order you signed in on the sign in sheet.

I was trying to ask about the clips also but when I hit post it said the page had gone fishing. Strange

Actually they don't fight that well...just pull...the halibut are the fun ones...and better eating, IMO...I'm saving money for the halibut trips this year with Jambo Sports Fishing out of Neah Bay.

its $100 to go out, and you gotta pay like $20 for your fish to be filleted. so its fairly cheap. and i dont know what the biggest sea bass was but im sure it was around 10-12lbs. it took us 2 1/2 hours to get to the fishing spot and it took us 3 1/2 hours to get our limits and head back.
