For the record I’m far from a halibut whisperer.
I always assumed that halibut line up with their mouths facing towards on coming tide to catch prey with current. But the last few times I’ve fished halibut I started slow trolling on bottom against current and got more solid hook sets where it feels more like the halibut has the bait coming straight toward and inhaled my bait. When I’m drifting with tide I get a lot of raked baits as though the halibut is playing catch up and nipping the tail.
I’m still not convinced either way. Can’t wait to see what the real halibut whisperers have to say.
