    Half ounce jig head on bottom with white 6 inch gulp fluke and white fluke jig 12 inches up. Weedless hook. Rite in the drop off of the wash. Look for deeper pockets. I'm assuming they hunt just like summer flounder here in jersey

  • @slpernie
    @slpernie Рік тому +5

    Few questions? Is there a better time of day for halibut from shore? Early morn or late evening? Is there a better tide? High or low tide? Finally how far are you casting? Im using a 1 oz and a swim bait and casting about 40-60 ft. But the seagrass and waves i figure im only casting into an area of 10-15 ft before its rough due to shore waves. Surf fishing for halibut is not all that easy im finding.

    • @shorecasted9295
      @shorecasted9295 Місяць тому +1

      @@slpernie location matters most, you want a protected cove or south facing beach with very little surf. I prefer low tide for halibut so that I don’t need to cast as far. You can pretty much walk up to where they’re sitting during the low tide. Halibut are very temperature sensitive, which is why they migrate to the shallows in the first place during the summer to spawn. They shut down when the water temperature drops and won’t bite anything hardly. I have had my best luck in the late morning when the water begins to warm up a bit from the sun, but mostly I just think it’s location. Also it takes a lot of walking and casting since they hardly move, so you need to find them and put your presentation jn front of them. 1oz is pretty heavy and will drag a fair bit. I’d drop the weight a bit if you can. Dropshot rig is a great way to get more casting distance and cover more ground.

    Hoping to maybe get some resources. I'm moving to Carlsbad, CA from the Midwest (Minnesota) I like fishing but never in my life have fished on the ocean. Seems Halibut is the go-to fish I see people trying to catch when looking up videos. Curious if you have any tips or resources as to what kind of gear, how to fish the area and so on?

      I went to a small private K-12 school in the south and in middle school they encouraged us to carry a pocket knife everywhere, even at school.
      The older kids were even allowed to keep their hunting rifles/shotguns in their cars at school if they went hunting before class.
      In case anyone is wondering, no one ever hinted towards using either against anyone at school. It was a different time and place for sure.

      You can. Without naming any specific beaches, look for beaches that are slightly south facing, as they will be protected from the surf. Those are the areas halibut like to lay around in. They’re ambush predators so they need good visibility in order to feed, so no churn.

    Hey there. Been following you for a while. Love your videos and I do think you one of a few that actually know what you talking about and also informative and details on your vids. Very helpful indeed. I know it's a unwritten rule among those who fish that they do not blow the spot. I haven't met a person that willing to reveal the location, except me. I personally don't keep secrets. I'm happy to help anyone who has passion about this sport as much as me. I never worry about people catching most of the fish. I believe if anyone that is willing to put out the effort, they will catch eventually. That does mean if I show the spot and all you need is a rod and reel, it doesn't mean you will be catching. I'm pretty sure that's what fishing is and pretty much how life is. So would you consider listing that info in all your videos from now on so that you can make it difference among all these other fisherman. I'm not calling you out specifically, I'm just be honest and truthful and hope I find a common out here on this platform. You can disagree with me, I'll unsubscribe myself and won't comment again.

It makes me just as happy because i made a difference at that moment. It doesn’t always have to be me all the time bro, I’m just as happy and excited to see another fisherman catching. This is just my point of view. I hope we can find a common in this community where we can really enjoy and relax.
