Another option for halibut if you run out of live bait is using big 4" mister twisters. Royal blue 1 oz jig head with an off white twister tail has worked well for me on hali's.

Technique: Use your FF to find a large area with flat sandy bottom with some structure near by. Structure such as boulders, small drop offs, weedlines, etc. These structures provide ambush points and attract prey.

Cast the jig as far as you can. Let it sink to the bottom, bounce the jig on the bottom a few times in with a slow retrieve, stop for a 3-5 second count, and repeat.
