Hey, I have been trying here and there (Marina del Rey jetty, Santa Monica and Malibu) to catch a Halibut from the shore with no success. Not sure if its my technique or just a lack of patients, but I haven't been lucky (not even small ones). :Embarrassed:

I have fished almost everything else that you can catch from the shore (shovel noses, sting rays, leopard sharks, YFCs, perch, corbinas, etc...) so I'm not novice to the game.

Anyone interested in joining up and or don't mind sharing some good spots or techniques, please PM me. I live in SF Valley (but wouldn't mind doing some driving for a good spot).

Thanks

:) its 95% technique, 3% where your fishing and 2% luck. Pm me, were heading out tomarow AM somewhere maybe you could meet up and check out the gear, ammo we use and how we use it. hali from the surf is kinda tough unless your fishing spots with near 0 surf, i keep close to the rocks ;).

I feel you pain man... really. I've been at it since May/June. It helps when someone shows you how.

If you guys want to let me in on the secret, I'm all ears! I could use the help too and your secrets are safe with me!

If you're catching pancakes in large numbers in an area, keep it up, there's usually a few nice models laying down with the pancakes.


Remember to fan-cast. You can cover tons of ground that way.

GETBIT!
