I speared a halibut there back in the late 90's...fun spot for sure, just make sure you understand the perils of shore break if you are new to ocean activities.

[@marcellodesantis414]

never imagine that halibut like swell and choppy conditions ...

[@werftv4580]

I never see halibut there, not speared, hook and line, airborne, ever.. never even one that I can remember

[@SanDiegoWaterman]

I check a lot of spots in San Diego

Kinda of dicey to shoot halibut unless you know it is over 22” once shot you can’t release it if it is short.Also it’s pretty hard to measure before shooting. I did like you scouting that area I used to snorkel there years ago. Now I am just fishing . I am going to try surf fishing for halibut and ares like that may be good. I have been targeting them in the two bays with some success but no legal this year yet. A secret time it near grunion runs.

thats why you don't shoot unless you're sure its legal. I'm sure I've passed on plenty that were 22 - 23"

WTF, Why post a halibut hunting video with no halibut?

[@SanDiegoWaterman]

Thanks for the feedback and question. Just like fishing, spearfishing is not a guarantee to catch fish. I'll keep your feedback in mind for future content.

Could you find my car keys near black beach?

[@SanDiegoWaterman]

Thanks for the question. Likely not since the current and tides pull things to deeper water beyond the break. The sand is also constantly changing there and a strong possibility they are buried once a few days go by.
