Halibut and Tidelands

[jbaker]

For tidelands halibut I would start out fron of the Marriott hotel by the pier on an incoming tide. Drift toward the bridge. Just past the moored boats the channel edge is kinda stepped. The Hali's like to sit on the steps facing the tide. I usually drift backward and drag a c-rigged fluke on the bottom. Another good spot for me has always been on the backside of the first bridge pilling. Frozen anchovies on a c-rig with a red bead. I've seen and landed 28" Hali's 10' off the rocks back there. South of the bridge off the amfib base is a really good spot too. Fish with the tide so your bait is in there face and not coming up behind them. Good luck
