Halibut season opening March 1st

Sunday, February 5th, 2012

Hello to friends of Jolly Rogers Fishing around the world!

I heard an announcement today that the 2012 halibut season will be opening up on March 1st, and it got me thinking of the good times out there in the past seasons and, more importantly, the good times anticipated for the season ahead!

The Jolly Rogers is getting her winter once-over and will be primed for action come Springtime …. and that’s not very far away now at all.

Here’s the waters off Port Renfrew and Swiftsure Bank can deliver as much salmon and halibut fishing fun as they did in 2011.

To whet your appetite for the upcoming Vancouver Island fishing action … below is a re-post of a video we made a few years ago, “a day in the life”, highlighting what you can expect on a typical Jolly Rogers day. (with the very fitting Primus song “I want to be a Fisherman”)

Tight lines!
