have you ever pulled out 20+lbs at the hump in March? I heard many years ago that some monster chinook were caught there in early spring, even a halibut I heard. What’s your experience with that area? Would help us save on gas and stay closer to the harbor if there’s tyee in there before the closures kick in.
