We started fishing in Seward, Alaska the last week of May 2010. The fishing has been great until the weather locked us out of the ocean. The Halibut fishing was very good, we have been soaking our bait in Pro-Cure oil over night and it is making a huge difference in the size of the fish we catch. We have been fighting the Halibut on our new Okuma two speed lever drag reels. These Halibut reels are the best I have ever used; I would recommend these reels to any Halibut fisherman.
The Seward Halibut derby started on May 27th with a big bang, but again, the weather has caused the catching of bigger Halibut to be zero. The Seward Halibut derby is a 6 week Halibut derby with the biggest fish each day wining the angler a free trip for 2011 and the biggest Halibut of the tournament winning the Angler $10,000.00 Fishing for gold!!!
The weather is supposed to break on Monday and we will be out Halibut fishing and trying to win the Seward Halibut derby.
Hope to see you on the water
