Rockfish Aplenty, Halibut Bite Slows

From the Times-Standard, Fishing the North Coast: Eureka boats load up on rockfish.
Read MoreFor the boats that made the left turn out of Humboldt Bay and trekked down to Cape Mendocino over the weekend, the reward was limits of tasty bottom fish. The halibut bite on the other hand, has tapered off the last few days. On Saturday, the boats that stayed close to home and drifted for halibut had a miserable day. A fierce wind and a ripping current made it nearly impossible to keep your bait anywhere near the bottom, even with four-pound balls. The lone bright spot was a 34lb halibut caught by a 13 year-old angler who was fishing with Captain Gary Blasi aboard the Seaweaseal. But that was it for the Seaweasel and most of the other boats reported big fat zeroes.

Halibut Limits for the Past Three Days
BY: sean / 0 COMMENTS / CATEGORIES: Fishing Report
Word is getting around that the Seaweasel has maxed out on Halibut for the past three days. Captain Phil Glen of Shellback plugged Full Throttle Sportfishing to the Sacramento Bee in their May 13 edition of Fishing Line.
EUREKA – The ocean finally calmed down and anglers got out for Pacific halibut with good results that included a big fish of 70 pounds, and several others in the 35- to 45-pound class caught. Most fished around the 300-foot contour straight out. “The action isn’t great, but it’s fair,” said Lonnie Dollarhide, who fished with Captain Phil Glenn on the Shellback. Three anglers on board caught three pacific halibut topped by a 46 pounder. “Captain Gary Blasi of Full Throttle Sportfishing has had limits of halibut the past three days!” he added.
It’s no surprise, though; Full Throttle Sportfishing has had the highest pacific halibut count in Eureka for the last 5 years. Be sure to sign up for a halibut charter trip.

Halibut Season Opener Off To a Great Start!
BY: sean / 0 COMMENTS / CATEGORIES: Fishing Report
The Seaweasel, along with 14 other boats went out Monday to the Halibut fishing grounds in Eureka:
The Seasweasel, with Captain Gary Blasi of Full Throttle Sportfishing at the helm, found fish and found them quick. Though a minor boat malfunction cost him a couple hours in the morning – by 11a.m. he was drifting over one of his favorite spots. It didn’t take him long to figure out there were no takers, so he pulled the lines and moved south. Within minutes of dropping the gear at spot number two, he had a double and brought both fish to the gaff. Thirty minutes and a couple drifts later, he was headed to the barn with limits. Not a bad way to start the season.
