macs for halibut bait

[lamb]

I got notin' different to say.

Macs are cool. You won't catch a small one.

For jigz, crocks and megabait. Salas 6xjr too.

Now for draggin' in a bounce ball, that's a whole different game. I am surprised that not a lot of guys on Hobies, Mariners, or whatever leg propelled are bouncing the sand for halibut. It seems it can totally be done, efficiently. Cover some serious sand. It's all about finding them.

Plug for Rick - good stuff

I have never fished a bait bigger than a sardine. Would one of you guys answer the following for fishing a mac:
1) Rod/reel combo and line weight
2) Rigging (dropper loop, slider, bounce ball, etc)
3) Mac size
4) Weight size
5) anything else you think is important
Thanks

I've used a Dodger on and off for over a year now on my Outback and let me tell you.....it takes some practice and a whole lot of patience. There are so many factors that can affect the entire setup:

how you release it to the bottom
direction of the current vs. the direction of the kayak
bait size
type of bait
speed
depth
size/weight of lead
etc
