Ethan has wanted to go deep sea fishing for years. He finally got that chance when he and Jason took a weekend trip to Newport and went on a 12-hour halibut fishing trip. The seas were choppy and Ethan threw up 3 times, but it was worth it because he got his fish. It took 2 1/2 to 3 hours to get 30 miles off the coast to the fishing grounds. The line had to go down 600 feet to the bottom of the ocean, so it took a while to reel in the fish. Jason got a bite within 10 minutes. Ethan got his about an hour later and then spent most of the rest of the trip huddled on a bench in the cabin. With 2 halibut we have enough for 8 or 9 dinners! Jason made fish and chips for us and it was so good!
