Lots of Halibut and Rockfish

The Fishing has been great. We are still at 100% limits on the Halibut. I have been two times and came home with a 40 incher the first time and a 39 incher the second time. The biggest one I have filleted so far was a 60 pounder on the 18th. But the avarage is still about 25lbs.
We have been doing about 90% limits on the Rockfish and 50% limits on the Lingcod. I filleted a 15lb Cabazon today, it was caught by a 14 year old girl from Texas. We took some good pictures of her and her fish, we will get the picktures on the web soon.
The Chinook catching has been real bad, although they traditionally dont arrive in our area untill about July.
The Coho starts on the 26th of June and it looks like we will be fishing them until we reach our quota. Chinook Salmon will go all summer with no quota.
The Tuna season is getting closer all the time. We are already booking lots of trips for July and august.
If you are down on the Newport Bay Front stop by and say hi, maybe swap a few stories.
