Thanks for the updates, fellas.

Glad to hear the YT are still around. The trip I chartered is heading back out on Sunday. Looks like the weather is shaping up, as well.

Mind sharing if there was a magic halibut depth? Or were they scattered? On last year's 2.5 day OEX trip most of the halibut were caught in the 80ft-120ft zone. On our 3.5 day trip earlier this month we didn't catch any, but most of us were flylining for YT the vast majority of the trip.

The halibut that were caught were right up along the beach, nothing big. There is or was plenty of squid in the cove but it didn't really start to come together until the late afternoon. If you know how to make squid and are willing to work at it, there will be more than plenty for you to fish with.
