There are two distinct species of halibut in California, the smaller California halibut that is common in our waters and the : Pacific halibut which is not common south of the San Francisco Bay area. PACIFIC halibut season is currently closed. CALIFORNIA halibut season is open year-round. make sure you know the difference especially if you are fishing offshore in deep water.
