Halibut Hogtober: Hogs Still Biting

Big Hali for Big Fish Chuck! We spent the afternoon yesterday with our guest celebrating his birthday fishing for halibut. Well the tide finally switched and we got big hits on both our front lines within a minute or two from each other. They didnt stick until commiting to the salmon head, fresh octopus (recently caught) and herring platter we had on our back line another minute after rhe first two. Well this fish peeled a 100ft of line before giving our guest a chance to play it perfectly to the boat..which he did. Well done sir. Porpoises were putting on a show for us all day while we were on anchor comjng within 20 ft of the boat chansing bait on the surface. We cant say enough about our local fall/winter fishing here in Sooke. Send us a trip inquiry if you have any questions or want some help planning were happy to help. Dont miss out on this productive winter halibut fishing opportunity. Bring the crew and lets get on em. See you on the water. King Tide Crew

Our guests had quite a surprise on a recent Halibut trip as they reeled up a Pacific Octopus. Octopus are great eating and a welcomed bonus to their Halibut and Crab boxes.

Insane Halibut Action! We had a crazy halibut bite on an afternoon this week! After landing our first Halibut still in the net our second rod got hammered and was peeling line. Guests were able to get the second fish to the boat both a perfect 107cm and 104cm. Just as we were getting ready to head back and pull our anchor...a MEGA fish hammered our whole yellow tail and burned under the boat tangling around our chum back and breaking another line clean off. This fish got us into our backing before coming back to the boat for a leader release. The Halibut was close to 100lbs...a serious unit. Guests enjoyed an incredible sunset on the run back. HOG-tober at its finest!
