A Question For The Halibut Wisperers - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I’ve caught most of my halibut in ripping current. Big tide swings. This includes getting them in the surf. I had one morning throwing a lucky craft flash minnow that yielded 3 legals in 30 minutes. Two out of three fish jumped completely out of the water when they smashed my jerkbait. I was fishing a major rip current off the beach and the water was cruising. Have had similar experiences on major tide swings in kayaks and boats. The like the fast moving water for sure.
