I have the day off for the opener tomorrow but the forecast now looks iffy with a small craft advisory. Not sure if the run from Everett out to Mutiny sounds all too pleasant in that. What would take an hour becoming 2+…

Regardless, has anybody done well in the Admiralty area? How about the San Juan's? Just due to the relatively close distance, going to give Mutiny or Admiralty Bay a go. Not sure I'll get the time to get out onto the banks in the straight but may make a run to the San Juan's.
 
Hali can be caught out there but it's a lot like fishing for springers - lots of fishing not much catching. There's much better hali fishing off the coast but the season is REALLY short. I'll be out at Neah Bay next Thurs and Sat for mine.

Agreed about the coast and would love to fish it! The cost/time investment just a bit too much without enough fishing partners and experience this year. Especially having to buy all the gear this year.

Figured have some fun and learn locally then prep and moor for the season in Neah next year. I hear most who are experienced have about a 20%-30% success rate around here. But hey, could always salvage the day with some lings.
 
Weather looks iffy. I can't go until Sunday, should be better weather by then. Heading out for ling and halibut but have not decided where. Good luck.
