I would load up on a kayak scoop at the bait barge. Fish a dropper loop using between 2 and 5 ounces of weight depending on amount of wind and current. I like to use a size 4 circle hook with a treble hook as a trap hook.

When you get a bite place your reel into free spool and let the halibut take the bait. Give it minute or two and slowly take in the slack and see if they are still on the line.

Have your gaff ready when they come up to color and you are certain they are legal size. I've lost a few keepers to head shakes and line cuts right at the surface.
