Ice chest is 48inches long and holds a 40 with no problem

I will weigh the fish as soon as my son is out of the bathroom, that's where we have our scale :D



Day ended with
3 brown rockfish
2 sculpin
3 legal butts (kept one)
1 40oz of Bud Light.......empty

[CardShark]

Nice butt!!

What's the general strategy when you guys are fishing for halibut with live bait....bait and wait in one place, slow drift, paddling and dragging the bait across the bottom, etc.?

[StinkyMatt]

Congrats on the nice fish.....quit efin releasing fish! :(



waiting for my "package". :D



Ill let the FedEx guy know to just leave it on the front door step....it will stay nice and frozen.

[tsugg]

Great pics! Are those taken with a go pro or ?

[Silbaugh4liberty]

Awesome pics and sweet fish!

[Rambo]

Nice way to start 2015 and that's a huge butt. Me and my buddy tried to do the same out there but we had only a few bites but none devour our bait to stay on the line. Any pointers?

The conditions were scatter showers, flat and calm, and then at 2PM it was non stop rain from there. Water temperature was 60 Degrees.

Pictures of the bathroom scale or it didn't happen...

Congrats Jorge

[blitzburgh]

Nice man! :cheers1:

[boxturtle]

Damn love the color of the Photos!

The more water you can cover while your weight is still dragging on sand, the better. If that means using the wind, slowly paddling, using current. Adjust your weight as needed. Don't think 8-12 oz is too heavy. If I'm moving fast enough, I use a 16 oz cannonball weight to stay in contact with bottom. I don't like using trap hooks unless I'm fishing mackerel, and even then I will use 2 single hooks with my rig, not 1 single 1 treble. The appropriate amount of line out needs to also be determined by watching your weight and making sure the rod loads up sometimes, but also straightens back out once in a while. Hope that helps. Maybe someone else will input. Halibut fishing can be tough but stick it out. You'll figure out what works best for you. Good luck.
