Halibut in the bay? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

When I take my son out on the back of my Outback, he's caught several small halibut. Largest was 18." What works for him is a drop shot with a 2 1/2" grub about 15" off the bottom.

You end up catching a lot of spotties as well.

This is in SD Bay, launching from SI.

At SI keep the bait on the bottom, bring that bait up to about a 4 in Hammer, the spots will destroy it in the tide, if the water isn't moving you just have to wait for the switch, keep it in about 30-50 foot range, the will get bigger
