Halibut fishing tips - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Preferred setup is using a halibut rig with a trap hook. Works both with and without. Use nice fresh live sardines.

Also plastic like fishtraps or gulps work awesome. Have to keep the bait constantly moving, either by slow trolling, drifting or cast and retrieve.

I prefer fishing the edge of sandy areas with spawning areas such as eel grass beds or kelps as that's where i think halibuts lie in wait for a tasty snack, lol.
