Jigging for California Halibut - EPIC Takedowns!

In todays video we head out looking to do some jigging for halibut. We jig on a deeper shelf and end up finding some really nice fish. Jigging for these halibut was way too much fun on the spinning setups. Conventional setups would work great too. Using the "vibes" squidtrex and vertrex, have us never wanting to troll for halibut again. Its a really fun bite, and fun way to catch them. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the video, very cool of you to share what you use. Those were some nice size butts.

Another banger video bro. I was just there this Wednesday, drifting live bait. It was super ruff and fast drift but did manage a couple stripers. Thanks for the technique breakdown, that was really helpful.

Thanks for the cool video. I have similar rail mounted rod holders like you do: how do you prevent them from spinning/slipping downwards when a fish hits?

[divrguy]

Good to see you guys out here again. I think I was in the bay the same day you guys were. Very windy out there! BTW, those Sqidtrex lures are priced very high but I might buy a couple to try out. Thanks

congratulations and cant wait for the tuna content. Does the flying fish work up here ?

Great video, thanks for sharing.
For halibut, do you fish around a particular tide? I have heard some people say they fish an incoming tide so the halibut can see in clearer water and I’ve also heard people say they fish an outgoing tide for the warmer water?
Do you guys have a preference or just fish on your days off work, whenever you get a chance?
Also, I really like to see what gear you are finishing with, thanks.

sick video... JP bait been booboo too I just got some tubes for back up

[davidgoetz]

What kinda rod specs you running for jigging those in the bay?

[frankkyne]

Can you cast and retrieve those Squidtrex lures or only jig them up and down

[miraclefred]

What kind of bottom were you focusing on? Ledges, rock piles/lines?

[ericcontreras]

Would you suggest SF bay or Monterrey Bay for rockfish ? and any good spots from shore ?

[eddiegapasangra]
