Thought I had better check out the stats on that and I was a little off. Ichthyologist Milton Love at UC Santa Barbara reports that 2 Calif Halibut he tagged in Santa Monica Bay were recovered in Morro Bay (194-198mi) and 2 others wound up at Santa Cruz Is (181mi). BTW I strongly recommend M. S. Love's book CERTAINLY MORE THAN YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT FISHES OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN (2011)- very entertaining and informative. The above info appears on page 559.
