Good job. That can be a tough place.

halibut fishing here in the harbor should be getting really good right now all over but especially from the PCH bridge to Peters Landing

Planning to head there on Saturday with my pops. We haven't targeted Halibut out of the Yaks yet, so any tips on what rig/bait to use to get started? Going to do a little shopping today for some Tackle. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Small sabikis and cheap hamburger buns to chum and catch smelt above the eel grass in 6-8 feet then pin em on a Carolina rig.. I have caught a bunch trolling Crystal Minnow deep divers in green. 3-4 inch smelt like plastics on 1/4-1/2 oz lead head.

I was using 3" gulp Alive Shrimp in the New Penny color with a 1/4 ounce lead head, very slow retrieve dragging it on the bottom.

Also try drop shotting Zoom Flukes (that's the 4") in smokey shad.

Sounds about right to me. I can almost always contribute my lack of catching anything to me fishing too fast... |

I have the same problem. Too fast. On the super slow days, Steve usually does better than me. He is good at going slowwww. Me, I'll do ok for a while and then forget and speed up. Then remember and slow down again, then forget again. Over and over.

Last halibut I got in HH was a real dink, but I got it on a ghost shrimp imitation that I was allowing to drag as I slowly drifted and was casting a swimbait. I think it was a "yabby crabby"
