First Hali still looking for legal though... - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

What's worked well for me with halibut in the big bay is a triple swivel with 16" leader to weight, and 12" leader to a lucky craft flashminnow or a bait similar to that. Suspending jerk bait. Obviously that's only if I don't have live bait.

Similar to this but instead of the bait hook, a lucky craft or similar.

Nice pics! Like someone else said, just be mindful when handling those rattlers

I've had great luck with the LC 110 in sardine using the same technique. That LC is a hali killer for sure. Slow rolled......what great action!

Rad photos! I've had some pretty good luck catching halibut using a 1oz spinner bait slow rolled on the bottom

+1 this always works for me. Live smelt or small back works best.

Thanks for all the tips I have some new things to try now.
Do you think i have a better chance of catching a legal one in mission or SD bay?
