Thanks Rodney, PLEASE do! I just got my license and don't have anyone to show me how ,except lucky YOU ! ;) I Halis are my target but know nothing about ocean fishing. I spent most of my life fishing lakes. I went to the Agua Hedionda lagoon in Carlsbad tonight and tried pretty much what you're doing in this vid, dropshot rig and a white sardine jelly that I already had (No grubs). NO luck for me though. I'll definitely be subscribing to watch out for your vids and I'll check for previous vids. Thanks again!
Rodney Marquez hey Rodney I live in Mission Valley and have been having horrible luck fishing here. Any chance you'd be willing to meet up at the bay and fish sometime?
These videos are great. I just started introducing my 4 kids to fishing in San Diego including my 5 year old twin girls. They love watching your videos and it gets them fired up to catch fish. I love the respectful tone and the appreciation for the beauty of the fish you catch. My 5 year old daughter very seriously told me last night after watching your video for the 10th time that I needed to send you a thumbs up on your channel and to not forget.
My brother and have lived in SD since birth. Over the last year, we've tried to find a hobby that doesn't involve drinking, gambling and strippers. Soo, we started fishing once or twice a week all over SD. Your videos are great and helpful to both of us. Thanks bro
Yo this video is done really well!!! The information you give out is super easy and helpful, plus it is not boring. This was the first video of yours that I’ve seen
Brudda you are the best fishing video creator on the web! No unnecessary screaming, no “fish on!” (Only to be done on boats) and you explain things very well! Great job Rod! Keep up the entertainment for me!
true true, there is a higher chance for sure , But I dont really get that much trouble. If I know there is rocks, I usually go to another area of ground where its just sandy bottoms
love your vids rodney - short, sweet, informative, good editing, and quirky! thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and passion. i'll try drop shopping up here in long beach.
Hi: I tried your drop shot rig and got a 26 inch halibut on my first cast in the surf I’m hooked and have been catching halibut every time I go thanks for tip 👍 Todd
thanks for taking the time to share, i'm in Boston and headed to San Diego in April, looking for fishing ideas while i'm visiting , i appreciate your efforts to inform, thanks very much
Hey Rodney. I just reconned that spot the other day. I'm planning on doing some shoreline casting then getting in the kayak to the south side. I've never caught a halibut. Hope I'm as productive as you.
Just found your site, subscribed. I've been fishing down south in the gulf and everyone is all about that tandem rig with gulp. I've never in my entire life thought, using a drop shot technique. Not that it wouldnt work but I just never thought about it. Imagine how many snagged rigs you would save or even fish certain parts where rock/sand hold some big flounders. Now that I know I'm definately going to try this flounder season. Pure genius Rodney.
Awesome videos like always, followed your steps on an older video and caught my first hali ever 12in. Then couple months later caught my biggest one that was 21in. So cool to catch and release them!!! Keep up the awesome work!
I’ve caught two halibut so far. One with a jig and another with a luckycraft flash minnow 110. I haven’t had luck using grubs or Berkeley mullets but your videos are convincing. I’m gonna keep trying. Thanks for the dope videos!!
Nice shane! I also have caught halibut on those techniques, however never "caught" it on film . Will try filming for that halibut video on the lucky craft
I really appreciate of your video that helps me catch my first halibut. You are one of my favorite fisherman youtuber . I can't wait for your next new video especially the halibut videos :)
Another great video rodney. I've been fishing the dropshot in the bay like I would for largemouth in the lakes without a lot of success, so your tips really help out.
Just got myself a 20 ft boat and live in La Jolla...I'm a photographer that primarily just does whale watching but I inherited some decent rods and I want to learn fishing! Any advice on seabass or dorado?
Hey Rodney, just moved here and been trying to pin point where to fish. Where exactly is this spot? Or atleast a good area to camp out and test my luck. Any advise would be greatly appreciated .
Love the drop shot as well. we just landed a halibut in our last video up in Carlsbad...... this video was well put together with great info. Keep cranking them out Rodney
My schedule always shifting, long hours & when I got time I have to do a lot of errands but no worries I'm making a career change just to pursuit happiness....Fishing😃
Do you set the hook immediately once you feel a bite or do you let them bite for a couple of seconds before setting the hook? I'm asking since I usually miss those flounder bites in Texas and halibuts and flounders are quite similar fish.
great vid bro! I just started getting into fishing, your videos are so helpful and simple I appreciate your hard work brother. keep up the good work, good vibes!

Rodney Marquez I have been wanting to fish here for a while just dont know where it is.
Let's go fishing together!! I'm in SD, feel free to message me on here or even better my company Instagram, @runafbs !!
Sup. Love your videos. jw, how often do u get snagged on rocks and lose ur gear?
I’ve watched this like 20 times over the years. You e helped me catch many keepers. Thanks Rodney
@@LedGuitar1218 thank you :)

Good fishing catch and release, thanks for the tip. Great video!
Thank you Luis!
love watching your hali vids Rodney! WTG...tight lines to the folks in my former hometown!
Heck yeah! thanks for watching ! hope you enjoyed! stay tuned for another halibut video i am editing right now!
How about area with rocks and sand? Isn’t there a higher chance of getting stuck with drop shot weight?
true true, there is a higher chance for sure , But I dont really get that much trouble. If I know there is rocks, I usually go to another area of ground where its just sandy bottoms
Can't wait to get out and restart fishing, gonna try for some halibut once I get my new setup! Thank you for the inspiration!
What weight torpedo would you recommend for rougher water?
Hey we have a boat and want to go out in Coronado bay and was hoping you would show us how
that sounds like an awesome time. Although my schedule is hectic with the family adventures at the moment :) send me a DM though in instagram
@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel ok I will try
love your vids rodney - short, sweet, informative, good editing, and quirky! thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and passion. i'll try drop shopping up here in long beach.
wasabisohot thanks for the good vibes ! good luck up there in LBC!
Wow! Great fishing skills here!
Excellent! I'll be visiting San Diego in April. Can't wait to try out this technique. Great how to video.
Wish you luck!
Simple setup but very effective. Thanks Rodney for sharing
Incredible video...thank you for putting this together! Very very informative and helpful for the beginner halibut fisherman.
I wish you luck my friend :D

Rodney your videos are getting better and better
Connor Playz thanks ! this one was hard to video , just because hooking up on a halibut it hard itself :D

GDGUCB I'll try and catch another legal one :)
Thank So Much, hopefully I can check out that area soon. Thank You for showing how to fish Halibut.
Hey Rodney, where is this fishing spot? Is this on the Navy base in Coronado?
Should i get A medium or medium heavy st croix mojo spinning rod for fishing inshore in the harbors on docks and rocks
Awesome video Rodney! Thank you for the tutorial! As always great edit and awesome watching you release that Hali! Tight lines!
vhrw thanks !!! really appreciate the good vibes :)
Nothing but Chill Vibes!!
Which one is better Rodney - the white ice fluke that you used to use or this Kallin grub?
I switch between both of them. for simplicity I like the white grub
what is best time of the day to catch them, early morning or afternoon?
Another great video rodney. I've been fishing the dropshot in the bay like I would for largemouth in the lakes without a lot of success, so your tips really help out.
Timothy you're very welcome , I post these vids to hopefully help
Nice vid. What test line were you using?
You should make a video on how you tie your drop shot and what hooks, baits ect you need.
Would fishing tips like this work up in LA?
for sure!
@Rodney Marquez Good to know! Thanks for the feedback!
Hi Rodney ! I m planning on visiting from Tx which part bay you were at??
Nice catch Rodney. Thanks for sharing
Hey there. What’s your setup you’re using in this video? Do you have another video showing this by chance? Thanks!
Hey, I've been watching your videos on tips on catching halibut. I haven't had any luck... where is that spot in San Diego.
Couple of nice Hali's . Well done Rod. My fav species to catch out in the bay.
I was wondering where is that fishing spot? Thanks
Was this on base down on 32nd st?
Lews inshore custom reel?
You Conserved the halibuts Life . Great Job
Thanks for the release, great work
no problem! Thanks for watching the halibut video
Just got myself a 20 ft boat and live in La Jolla...I'm a photographer that primarily just does whale watching but I inherited some decent rods and I want to learn fishing! Any advice on seabass or dorado?
Has to be the right season, but you can catch them anytime of the year. Use good live bait such as sardines . Good luck my friend!
What rig setup would you use to catch hali off the beach surf?
I like using a luckycraft smelt imitation 5 inch or higher length size
Rodney's Fishing Adventure awesome bro thanks!
Hey Rodney, just moved here and been trying to pin point where to fish. Where exactly is this spot? Or atleast a good area to camp out and test my luck. Any advise would be greatly appreciated .
:) I would recommend fishing harbor island, liberty station, or coronado ferry landing
Rodney Marquez Thank You so much. Appreciate the advise!
Amazing. Thanks for showing. Hope to see more videos
thank ya for the postiive vibes. I will try and provide more
Damn, I’ve never seen one that big in San Diego, Nice!
Thank you sir!
Yo Rodney, so wheres a good place with sandy bottoms for legal Halis for civilians to go?
I love harbor island, shelter and spanish landing. However I heard some good reports fishing from Coronado pier for legals this time of year
Great video!
Where was it in SD?
Liked yr video. Shows everything you need and how to. But where exactly were you in sd bay?
Smooth beats, learned a lot great vid man whoot whoot!
Hey God bless you man, really appreciate the simple breakdown on how to catch halibut. A must see fo any bay fisherman
Your a good guy for releasing them. Great video.
God bless you
thank you!
Cervichae time!
Love the drop shot as well. we just landed a halibut in our last video up in Carlsbad...... this video was well put together with great info. Keep cranking them out Rodney
Great video! I got out today and threw the Hali drop shot rig for the first time this year got 3 on the grub one on a swimbait and 4 other hook ups!
bob vangrin heck yeah ! Good report , was this in SD?
Hey Rodney, I am up in NorCal fishing SF Bay and San Pablo Bay
Double double on them legals. Keep slaying Rod!
Jig Jig Pow! thanks !!! let's link up and fish again. it's way overdue haha

Hey Rodney good video. Maybe I'll see you out there.

Nice Halibut man, good video.

Rodney, I just bought a surf spinning rig. You inspired me.
Hey Rod thanks for the Halibut tips. Definitely going to try it out.
Happy fishing bro.
Great video Rodney, Can't fish due to work but enjoy watching your videos. Thanks again Rodney
Thanks! why cant ya fish if you dont mind me asking
My schedule always shifting, long hours & when I got time I have to do a lot of errands but no worries I'm making a career change just to pursuit happiness....Fishing😃
I’m gonna try this set up next time I go to this spot because I only ever catch shovel nose rays here
What line weight and leader line weight? Are you using mono?
I like using 20 lb braid with top shot 15 lb floro
How do you know if there’s a bite on the dropshot (I’ve pretty good at like fishing with bait and I’m trying to get into lures )
you will feel a "tic" in the line
@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel Thank You For the help Im gonna try fishing for halibut in the bay next time i get to go :)
Do you set the hook immediately once you feel a bite or do you let them bite for a couple of seconds before setting the hook? I'm asking since I usually miss those flounder bites in Texas and halibuts and flounders are quite similar fish.
Love the video! Still Learning how to fish the bay and I’m SD native. Where in the bay was this location? It didn’t look familiar to me. Point Loma?
Rodney what type of rod and reel are you using?
I love this video. I’m only here in SD for a week and am new to fishing thanks for the tips
I hope you did well?! how was the fishing when you were here?
Can you use a circle hook?
Yes you can! however, I like using the straight worm hook. Circle hooks are mainly used for bait
Nice video like always Rodney. Keep up the good work n thanks for the tips like always. I'm gonna definitely try this
Wish you luck brotha!
great vid bro! I just started getting into fishing, your videos are so helpful and simple I appreciate your hard work brother. keep up the good work, good vibes!
good vibes to you too sir! and thanks for watching yo
Rodney. Good job as always. Gotta drive down to SD and try it out. Cool vid bro!
Leo Solis good luck ! the halibut been biting !
Much props to you bro, nice fish and nice video on how to fish halibut. and especially teaching catch and release.
Good stuff man! Nice fish and thanks for the tips
Thank you sir! Stay tuned for another halibut video. I am editing it right now
What weight line are you using?
What part of San Diego bay is that ? Love the video
thanks man!
OMG! i wanna go fishing with you... where exactly is this area in SD i can't make it out
:D Thanks
no luck today 😑can you tell me ur location?
Where?
Hi, wondering what spot in the bay you were fishing, been looking around and I can’t find any spots
How do you even get access to this spot? I know its inside point Loma naval base
Think I'm gonna try that set up thanks for the content
Awesome vid bra where is this place at exactly in san diego
Where is that spot if you don’t mind me asking?
Was that actually 2 hours until you caught a halibut?
Terraria Gamer hah yes :D
Is right now good halibut fishing I just bought a abu Garcia reel and rod and that Curley tail grip ?
Grub
@@exotickid3499 yep just caught one a couple days ago out of the bay.
Hi dude I have a qouestion is a fishing license needed because I fish only on lakes or river never fished in beach or ocean
GPoPG tv yes , here in California, you need a fishing license if you're fishing from shore or on boat . Public fishing piers are free.
Rodney Marquez thanks for you fast answer
Awesome! been trying to get some hali lately! Good info.
How far from petco park are you
Where is this spot at I’m not from San Diego visiting my mom and wanna do a lil fishing
Would be nice to have a video to identify California halibut vs other flounders. They look too similar to me @@. Good catch. Keep it up
Thanks man!
Hey my friend, are you still fishing SoCal for halibut?
ive been taking a break a little, due to all this
Will that rig work for calico and spotted bays also?
where in SD did you catch those hali's.
They are all over San Diego. I've seen them in the bays and lagoons......It's more about getting the right set up and the right time of day.
Can you use a dropper loop for the hook and what pound test like you using ?
What line did you use?
I was using 14 lb floru and 25lb braid - kastking
great video by the way.i started using the drop shot since i saw an older video of yours
thanks for the comment! happy fishing yo!
Mind sharing what line/lb test you use?
hey! I was using 25 lb braid and 12 lb fluro
