Catching halibut from shore? Amazing! You always get your fish. 👍

I might be moving from FL to CA. I need to learn your ways. Informational video.

Half ounce jig head on bottom with white 6 inch gulp fluke and white fluke jig 12 inches up. Weedless hook. Rite in the drop off of the wash. Look for deeper pockets. I'm assuming they hunt just like summer flounder here in jersey

Another great vid. I caught a 35 pound halibut off the break water in Cabrillo.

I’m terrible at surf fishing. Something I want to improve on. But I think it’s mostly a matter of finding the holding spots. Thanks for the video!

other side of the beach has a number of species. Can't keep the black sea bass but there incredible fighters on spinning gear and will take a number of plastic lures dropped in their holding zones.

Youre withholding most important info, its finding location where they run, gives you 98% of success in landing them, Only 2% of skill

Any tips/resources on tying this rigging? I'm (not super experienced and) not familiar with the drop shot with the hook out on its own line like that. Seems like it would give great action!

Great video ! Thanks for all the great stuff you post.

I'm totally going to try this for some flounder out on Tybee Island this afternoon. Haven't thought of trying dropshot for them, but should work well.

Would you say the Halibut are between Half Moon Bay and Monterey?
Just trying to learn.
I am going to go to Pacifica for Stripers tomarrow.

Few questions? Is there a better time of day for halibut from shore? Early morn or late evening? Is there a better tide? High or low tide? Finally how far are you casting? Im using a 1 oz and a swim bait and casting about 40-60 ft. But the seagrass and waves i figure im only casting into an area of 10-15 ft before its rough due to shore waves. Surf fishing for halibut is not all that easy im finding.

What kind of rod and reel are you using?

[EmSeeLLC_Outdoors]

Any recommendations for rod and reel set ups? Length, ? Heavy vs. Med Heavy? XXXL Heavy? lol. as well as what line to use? I really like the drop shot set up, but from what Ive seen the norm seems to be sinker and then a fresh/frozen herring hooked up. I'll also take a link to any videos you have too!

“Gibbs' Rule #9: Never go anywhere without a knife.”

Started getting into knives a little over a year ago, now I am shock when a person isn’t carrying a knife while fishing.
