Looks like a sun day of catching. Well done. Like others said, that doent look like shovel nose. If it has a round nose and a small mouth on thed bottom in might be a thorny back. Did it have a small tail and rows of spines down its back? Chovies are great bait. Big halis will eat them. So will about every other fish in the bay. Bigger sardines, or even macks, will keep the smalle fish off and let you target the bigger halibut. Don't discount the chovies and small dines tho. The biggest hallie I've caught in SD bay wason a little sardine. Mike
