Crissy field

Was they close to the shore?

About 10 yards out.

 

[Sportfisherman]

Nice catch!. I catch my fish all the time using drop shot with two hooks.

 

[Sportfisherman]

Most of the time on drop off, very close to shore about 10-15 feet from shore.

 

[Sportfisherman]

8-foot rod, 30 lb braid line top shot with 12 lb fluorocarbon leader work very well. Catch me limit all time with setup

 

[eksblenny]

12lbs is big! Over 30"?

 

[beutelevision]

12lbs is big! Over 30"?

Yeah it was 31 inches. My personal best. Still doesn't beat my daughter's PB 19 pounder she caught on a skiff at Santa Cruz. That was a 36 inch beast.

Sweet! I think this is going to be a great year for halibut in the bay.

Did you use a trap or stinger hook?

 

[ILYA]

Or trailing hook?

Did you use a trap or stinger hook?

Used #4 stinger hook attached to jig hook via braided line and sealed with cyanoacrylate glue.

Use 4" fish trap, don't need to used stinger hook, it kills the action of swimbait

Caught another 25" halibut on 6/4 with your set-up suggestion!

Halibut is biting everything what moving around with action or without...

 

[pinoyfisherman]

The halibut have been biting EVERYWHERE, so I'd get out there and wet a line. I've been catching a ton of shakers over by OP on my friend's boat with a few shakers in the mix. I was going to ask though if anyone would be interested in fishing Muni with me though, just shoot me a DM.

 

[MienAce]

It’s different story when your on a boat...and where is muni, in SF?
