I'm not the expert but from my experience fishing the bay for butts, usually they hang around in packs. I've caught 15" ones in the same spot as 28" ers. If the halibuts bottom side has sand or mud attached to it, its been in that location awhile and there are certainly more there. A really clean/white bottom means its been cruising around.
The high arch on the lateral line around the head/gill plate is a dead giveaway in identifying the butt.
