Peak Halibut Season? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If I had to limit myself to 4 consecutive months to fish for Halibut they would be June thru Sept. Generally Oct thru May have been poor months for me, but that is changing with locating deep water Halibut areas. Presence of Squid can greatly improve your chances in any month it is around.

But a lot is going to hinge on what you a targeting specifically, and where you are targeting them. Are you looking for anything that is legal, or are you set on finding a trophy? Are you going to be fishing bays and protected areas, or open water? Which area of SoCal are you going to be fishing most? And just like Squid, where they were last year may not be where they are this year.
