Finally we had a nice weather. we decided to go to Whale Pass instead of Ugak Island as we thought there were still big swells in open water.
David got his wish. He caught and released about 40 - 50 halibut on jigs though they were mostly 10 - 40 lbs range !!
When halibut fishing was hot, it didn't take one minute to get bites. We also found cod honey hole. If we stayed there long, we could catch over 100 cods in 10 - 15 lbs range each easily.
We plan to go to Ugak Island for big halibut and king salmon tomorrow.
