Mission bay 4/20am

Bit slow, couldn't find the bait, unless I wanted macs in football size. Ended up with one spotty and a short halibut bite, ripped the tail off my swimmer. Wind started up as the sun broke through. I gotta get to some real water!!

How do you know it was a short halibut bite?

The area I was in, how I was fishing and the rake marks in the swim bait leading to a tailess ass end.

I've had that happen to me before, it kinda sucks. next time hit the bait barge, they charge $10 for a kayak scoop, give the guy 12-13 and he'll give you a scoop fit for a king.

Look on big hammers website under tutorials. They show you how to trap rig your swimmies by threading braid through the body and having an octopus hook comeing out the tail. It doesn't effect the action of your bait at all and its killer for surf fishing flatties and whatever other fish that tend to short bite.

Nice! I was wondering if that was practical. Thanks!

Totally practical, only thing is if you hook anything of size you may get the octopus hook straightened out on you but ive caught tons of cool bycatch while fishing for bass on the trap, such as rockfish, sculpin, cabezon, white croaker, perch. may not all be quality fish by some standards but its fun to turn those half bite days around and say you didnt get skunked.
