Mike C Registered: 04/05/01 Posts: 1373 Loc: Redmond	I'll be off a couple days to Neah Bay for my annual shot at a BIG halibut. See you all Thursday. _________________________ Mike, Editor www.washingtonlakes.com "Featuring readers lake and saltwater reports."

Anonymous Unregistered	Mike--I have always wanted to get a shot at a barn door myself, had any luck? Do you recommend a charter?

Went out on a bottom fish run last Friday and saw a HUGE sea lion throwing around a carcass of a halibut caught the previous day. That one was probably about 40+ pounds. I'll let ypu know how Westport goes. Andy _________________________ "Give me the anger, fish! Give me the anger!" They call me POODLE SMOLT!

A charter will almost asure a fish but we didn't have a spare $100 plus it's fun to try yourself sometimes. Someday I'll have to do the BC charter route though, just for the experience. Neah Bay was kinda windy and we couldn't go to the spot I wanted to try but we sure did give it our best shot. Now I need to go soak in a hot tub and rest these aching bones! _________________________ Mike, Editor www.washingtonlakes.com "Featuring readers lake and saltwater reports."

Mike C Registered: 04/05/01 Posts: 1373 Loc: Redmond	I wouldn't mind sharing costs to go to BC or back to Neah Bay for a charter, but for this year I'm pretty much done. I don't have another free weekend for the summer (one of my laments- no chance to be spontaneous). _________________________ Mike, Editor www.washingtonlakes.com "Featuring readers lake and saltwater reports."

Anonymous Unregistered	Sounds fine to me. I am pretty much booked on free time for the year as well. Maybe we could plan for next year. If we are trying to get some other people interested in joining us then it would not be too early to start. What do you think?
