With the weather up it is tougher to get on the "Hogs" as we really can't comfortably fish clients on our favorite locations. They are just too exposed.

We had 4 Clients on the 23rd and although we managed to get a limit of Halibut and the clients were happy I personally was disapointed with the sizes and the length of time it took to get them to bite. It was a very slow day by any standards.

I did very much enjoy the comradarie of clients Doug and Ryan from Soldotna Alaska, soon to be southern Oregon, and Joe and Mark Bailey of Palmer Alaska. They were great and all four of them fished hard.
