The waters around Prince Rupert have had 5 months to rest. Captain Stephen Hardie of Deep Spring Charters has already been out fishing 9 times for Halibut. The best day was April 20 when Kerry and the guys once again loaded up on all their ground fish. Kerry has a knack at catching the big Halibut every year. This year was no exception, she whacked a 75lb Halibut on the first day and backed it up the next with a 45 and 30 pounder.
Dixon Entrance East can be quite rough most days but 420 turned out to be smooth and calm. Kerry and the guys jigged up 300 pounds of ground fish in 3 hours. Snapper and Lingers are plentiful this time of year. The end of the day was even better when our crab traps hauled in the limit of Dungeness Crab. I am looking forward to Chris and the boys showing up the end of June for great Chinook Salmon fishing.
