Leopard shark advice

[JoeBeck]

I catch them right north of the pair when halibut fishing. Usually it is when I sit in place too long with my live/dead mac on the bottom. I personally don't like catching them, would rather hook a halibut . Plus I usually have to change out my rig once I get them to the boat.

So I guess my advise is if you want to catch one, sit in place and sink your bait to the bottom and wait.

So Joe, if we go out the harbor, i hope we are talking Oceanside cause i'm up north, and around by the peir we should see some halibut action? what depth and what time of year. Do you sabiki your bait or hit the bait dock?

Every leopard I've got I thought was a Hali at first, but some of the biggest Leopards I get come from up in SB, Carpinteria I gotten some 5 ft. beasts up younder, and always in the sandy flats. Never eaten one, do they taste like chicken?
