Halibut: Tide, Moon, Temp, or Time?
Time: when there is sunlight. Tide: after a low tide, as tide fills in Tide type: very minimal low to high (less than 3' water movement) moon: not full or new moons as they have larger tide swings temp: water temp 59-68 have all bit. although 61-63 seems best for larger fish as it kind of matches with their spawn season. Has anyone ever tried to see any consistencies or patterns with halibut bites?

Some people swear by this application. https://www.fishingreminder.com/ Some species spawn on the full moons which even though it makes it easier for them to hunt at night, because of the spawning activities they are hungrier and feed more during the day. So far my conclusion is the best time to go fishing is whenever you can!!! |

The halibut biting well on an incoming tide right after a low tide has been documented for cabrillo shallow water habitate. Halibut in cabrillo harbor want bait. its very difficult for me to get one on a lure. let've caught 1 halibut at night. on a squid strip while waiting for lobsters to crawl in the nets. We've dragged dines throughout our typical cabrillo areas at night and we strike out.
another thing i've noticed is the halibut will hit within 2 minutes after dropping a bait down. if we dont get bit.. we reel up and drop back down. I dont know why, but they seem to like getting baits bonking them on the head. Things i've learned from other fish species.... Yt love current. Different locations have a preferred current (uphill or downhill) BFT love moon phases and incoming tides + semi rough weather. i've only caught 1 legal wsb in my life so I have no idea of their pattern. we mainly hit cabrillo. a LOT. If any kayak guys out there see a 17' parker with a loud 85hp 2 stroke, a net and a gaff on the front rocket launchers of the T-top (dead giveaway of our boat), thats us. feel free to stop by and fish with us or if you need some bait just paddle/peddle over.
