Halibut / Lingcod Fishing
Halibut & Lingcod
We untie for halibut at 430am, so you'll want to be well-rested and in good shape for this monster fish. A 30-mile off-shore trip is no problem for RAMPAGE - We stride to hit the fishing grounds early. but you can relax in our comfortable cabin until its time to fish.
Halibut season starts in May and runs until fishery quota is met - which is usually 7 days or so. You'll want to book as early as you can; even book up to a year in advance to ensure your place on this limited fishery.
The state has allocated only Thursdays and Sundays for 2021
