@Steven Templeman ooo! Fishing on the beaches: Use a lucky craft sardine or any color white would do well . Long casts into the current , so the lure is going with the current upon the retrieval.
@Steven Templeman let me know how you do . I personally like fishing jetties for halibut. Halibut like sandy bottoms , and good current . Just imagine, halibut are going to be stationary in the sand , waiting for their prey. So they will choose a location where bait fish is abundant
Thanks for posting videos on how to catch different types of fish. When i first tried out your technique i caught many types of species including halibut. I never knew about this set up, so i wanted to tell you thanks for sharing your techniques and tips.
@@elchuco310 that's so awesome ! So glad some of the videos I showed helped you catchgish. I really do love reading comments like yours ! Tight lines !
this guy is for real. i wached one of his vid and went out on a very public pier del-nor and in 5 min landed my frist halbit 8 lb 27in. long thank you lots and i just moved to humbolt bay do to house fire..thank for brightening are move..
@@MoreThanFishing I watch your channel as well and love the shore perch and stripper fishing you do up in the bay!!! I am also going to be in San Diego for the Christmas break and will be looking to do some fishing as well if you are looking for a fishing partner? I would be happy to fish with you! I don't got the local knowledge tho haha.
For the California halibut I would highly recommend the Storm 360 searchbait pearl white it works really well. Just use a 1/2 ounce jig head and no other weight and if you go to a jetty it works a miracle
You and your DoD access... LOL. Great vid as always man. Been giving these techniques of yours a shot when I get the chance, haven't gotten anything above 6", but it'll happen lol. Blessings to you, your wife, and your very soon to be newborn!
Nice video A good trick is to use a bucktail jig (glorified Bonito feather) as your weight, instead of plain sinker, You can even thread a grub onto that, give um something extra...
rodney, i love your videos i have caught so many spotties on your rigs and videos, where is that spot in the video, and where are some good bank fishing halibut spots in SD
I visited from AZ a few weeks back and fished Mission Bay over by Paradise Point. I used a the new VMC Tokyo Rig with a 1/4 oz bullet weight and a Z-Man razor shadz in pearl. I couldn’t miss. I didn’t do that great on a drop shot on previous visits for some reason. Not sure if it was the Tokyo Rig shortening up the drop or the more buoyant lure, but it was a night and day difference for me. Give it a shot sometime and let me know what you experience. Thanks for the great content.
Hello my friend I love fishing🎣 I'm new to your channel I love pier fishing I love going to my local piers to fish 👍💯 I hope that someday I can get my fishing license to go rock fishing and surff fishing 🎣
I"d go 9ft med rod... baitcaster…. …. 1 oz lead drop shot style....... bait 4 feet above.....( lots of bait movement,drop,rise,etc … on .. 10 lb mono … good video
Just stumbled on your channel and subscribed. Where are you fishing in California? I’m in the Bay Area teaching nephew fishing but all we catch around the bay is sharks and stingrays
Awesome, thanks for the reply, great channel! Helped me catch my first Cali Hali on a drop shot. If you're ever up North, you should fish Humboldt Bay. 👍
Nice vid. Close up of rig is GREAT. Please include the local regs and legal limit and size and your approx location. Most of these shows are just hero vids of fish catching, nice for you but does me no good. Thanks
Cool video my son is in the navy from Alaska and is in San Diego he don’t know a lot about fishing down there is there anyway he could meet up with you and you teach him how to fish there?????
I love your videos. I am living in San Diego. Can you tell me the address can fishing halibut better in San Diego? I hope I can catch my first halibut. Thank you very much.😊
Great question ! Yes I do . If I'm targeting spotties and halibut, and fishing heavy grass , I would use this techqniue; ua-cam.com/video/uH1xMNBorY0/v-deo.html In that video showed my drop shot weedless technique
@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannelsweet bro thanks, next time im down in the San Diego Area ill check that out. its quite a drive from where im at tho haha.
When the piers open up again after the lockdowns (Santa Monica, Manhattan, Hermosa, Redondo), try going there. There's usually a lot of fishermen, and most will definitely help you out.
7 months of quarantining and no fishing. Yesterday i went to go fish for some perch, got a halibut on the third cast! First halibut of my life! I knew so little about it I didn't even know how to deal with it. Found out they have real sharp teeth the hard way
Thanks for watching yo! And Yes I have in multiple videos I have used a dropper loop setup. Here was the latest one ua-cam.com/video/b7IwGwnu_eQ/v-deo.html
I watch your videos all the time and I try so hard to catch a Halibut with the same stuff you use I usually fish the pier in back of the convention center where do you recommend I fish at to increase my chances?
I recommend either harbor island , shelter island , Spanish landing , jetties of mission bay or Carlsbad lagoon. Fish during moving current and locate schools of baitfish. The halibut love lurking beneath them
Hey Rodney, I was wondering what california halibut will bite on that isn’t alive or a form of swim bait, for example will they eat just a straight up dead herring or piece of squid? Let me know.
I love fishing and am going to San Diego next month I know with COVID things will be difficult but I’m super excited I have never caught anything saltwater and I’m just wondering what pound line and where I should get everything I’d be super grateful for any advice halibut is definitely what I want to catch the most but I just want to catch anything
I like it! I am trying to capture footage of landing a halibut on the lucky craft. I have before in the surf, however, I need to capture it on footage to share with you guys
I have caught halibut year round , every month. Location of the bay is key when targeting them on certain months. For example I had more luck catching halibut in the cooler months such as dec and January in the back bay vs spring time, in the mouth of the bay . good luck and tight lines!
I am not too familiar with the razorbacks, however I do use Bolt throwers by Reebs lures, and they work very well! I personally have the calico hunter and white and red colored ones on a 1 oz
yeah theres some rules on this, however some of the rules apply to certain lakes and streams where the salmon run. They apply that rule as they are trying to eliminate people who snag fish.
Bay Area. Thus far, we only fish for trout and catfish in our fresh water lakes. All are planted fish. Done a few stripe bass fishing on piers but not as often as lake fishing. For now, perfectly happy finesse fishing for trout with light tackle. Halibut does look real fun.
Lol. Im sure ive seen you fishing there. I decked and ran the vendetta for 5 years, and the premier and the malihini. Had to get away. Spend time with family. Cool videos, sucks they closed the rivermouth in south i.b. I caught monsters down there. Some days back to back. Your videos sure bring me back. Look forward to more.

Great video, new sub.
Thank you! Hope you enjoy the other content :)
Your How to video is better then mine.

I am learning from you man. Thanks
Glad to hear it! Hope you enjoy the other content as well
You should try the new shelter island boat ramp. Me and my friend caught four spotty . And a 15 inch spot.
I will!
I"d go 9ft med rod... baitcaster…. …. 1 oz lead drop shot style....... bait 4 feet above.....( lots of bait movement,drop,rise,etc … on .. 10 lb mono … good video
Nice catch, I actually just caught a halibut on my channel like a week ago.
Just stumbled on your channel and subscribed. Where are you fishing in California? I’m in the Bay Area teaching nephew fishing but all we catch around the bay is sharks and stingrays
Rodney's fishing adventure, can you find CaliButs all year long in SoCal? I have only fished for them in summer here in Humboldt Bay.
Yup ! In my experiences I've caught them every month of the year here in so cal
Awesome, thanks for the reply, great channel! Helped me catch my first Cali Hali on a drop shot. If you're ever up North, you should fish Humboldt Bay. 👍
heck yea! thanks for sharing that. I will hit you up if Im ever up there :)
Where in SD is this? Have you caught anything in Carlsbad or Oceanside?
Hey I'm kind of a beginner to this salt water stuff and I was wondering if you could tell me a beach in sd like the one you were at
The intro is back 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
😎🤙🎣
Keep it up....Tight lines
Thanks man !!!
Does this setup also work for catching bass or mackerel or only halibut
Nice vid. Close up of rig is GREAT. Please include the local regs and legal limit and size and your approx location. Most of these shows are just hero vids of fish catching, nice for you but does me no good. Thanks
thanks! hope the video helps!
Cool video my son is in the navy from Alaska and is in San Diego he don’t know a lot about fishing down there is there anyway he could meet up with you and you teach him how to fish there?????

Good question. I made a video for you : ua-cam.com/video/2Qe9CoCKw8s/v-deo.html
@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel super cool of you brother. I had same question
Your waters seems calm. Wouldn't it be better to use lighter sinker? Maybe 1 oz?
great vid
Thank ya:)
What are good dead baits for halibut in San Diego
Great video brother, greeting from Perú 😁👍🎣🇵🇪
Peru!? thats so awesome. thanks for saying hi and watching :)
loved this vid thank you
:) thank you! good luck out there
How about 10 hours of fishing to land my first keeper halibut. That’s persistence right there😂😂
thats quick! haha congrats
Bruh i went out so many times for halibut last yr and didnt catch one keeper hahaha
I've caught spotties thanks to your vids man still on the hunt for a halibut though what are good spots
Love the vid any good spots you suggest to those who don’t have DOD access lol
The gulp minnows are my new go to for dropshot for halibut. I noticed almost every time i caught one they had minnows coming out of their mouth.
for sure! I love using those gulp minnows , preferably those 5 inch or 4 inch. thanks for the share
Always so helpful, Rodney. Do you ever have to fish weedless? I see all the grass between you and the sand.
Great question ! Yes I do . If I'm targeting spotties and halibut, and fishing heavy grass , I would use this techqniue; ua-cam.com/video/uH1xMNBorY0/v-deo.html
In that video showed my drop shot weedless technique
hey, im from the LA county area but am kind of new to fishing, what are some good spots around here? Thanks!
Harbor island is a great place with good fishing and great view of SD skyline
@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannelsweet bro thanks, next time im down in the San Diego Area ill check that out. its quite a drive from where im at tho haha.
When the piers open up again after the lockdowns (Santa Monica, Manhattan, Hermosa, Redondo), try going there. There's usually a lot of fishermen, and most will definitely help you out.
San Pedro and LB harbour get choke halis. Keep your bait on the bottom.Remember 22in min size. Best during the spawn March - June.
What size hooks and brrand please also line?
What’s the best lure to catch halibut if you’re in a little boat?
7 months of quarantining and no fishing. Yesterday i went to go fish for some perch, got a halibut on the third cast! First halibut of my life! I knew so little about it I didn't even know how to deal with it. Found out they have real sharp teeth the hard way
Nice!! haha my friend found out the hard way too!
What spot was that at San Diego Bay?
I never caught a halibut and I want to know what is the best choice of bait to use
if youre fishing from the surf try this technique for halibut ua-cam.com/video/25yTYShW8lw/v-deo.html
Thanks good luck on fishing.
Awesome dude
Awesome video rodney do you ever use drooper loop rig?
Thanks for watching yo! And Yes I have in multiple videos I have used a dropper loop setup. Here was the latest one ua-cam.com/video/b7IwGwnu_eQ/v-deo.html

You should ask fishhead to make you a candy sardine lipless crank 3/4oz Hali’s love that bait!
He makes those ???
Not necessarily but he gets the blanks and paints them
@@mariopadilla7508 I'll ask him
Could I use 8lb mono to a heavier lead to fish this way Thank you
Is it legal in cali to use a bucktail instead of jus a regular weight? That way you have the bucktail in the bottom and the grub up top?
yup !
@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel thank you sir!
Will it mess up your rod to cast a heavier lure weight than what it's rated for?
Hey Rodney, I was wondering what california halibut will bite on that isn’t alive or a form of swim bait, for example will they eat just a straight up dead herring or piece of squid? Let me know.

Abu Garcia orra inshore

Hey this is super late but I’m looking for some good halibut spots in SoCal could you think of any?
I like harbor island in san diego bay or the jetty in mission bay

Stop by anglers choice. That bait shop have everything you'll need for halibut setup. Go with 12 lbs mono. I like to use izorline. Good luck
excellent advice :)
Hey Rodney, do you ever try Dog Beach Betty?
Jetty.. Sorry
Hi Rodney great video brotha!!
I have a question for you, where you recommend to go for halibut fishing in San Diego, where are those sandy botton?
Honestly they are everywhere , off the shoreline of Coronado, harbor island , shelter island . You do need a fishing license tho

Thanks so much Rodney for the info. Keep the good work ☺👍
@@almikar1 thanks for the support . Always love helping others , hence why I make these videos :D

what are your opinions on the luck craft flash minnow
I like it! I am trying to capture footage of landing a halibut on the lucky craft. I have before in the surf, however, I need to capture it on footage to share with you guys
What beach you at
Great video! Do you think they will still bite over the winter?
Yeah for sure! Caught halibut every month of the year. I caught these two 2 days ago
I thought halibut on bite inshore over the summer. Now that I know this, I'll try fishing for them sometime this week
Good luck man! lmk how you do
Hey Rodney, Would this dropshot technique work when slow trolling from a boat in around 50+ feet of water?
Can u catche em year around out there in SD??
I have caught halibut year round , every month. Location of the bay is key when targeting them on certain months. For example I had more luck catching halibut in the cooler months such as dec and January in the back bay vs spring time, in the mouth of the bay . good luck and tight lines!

I am not too familiar with the razorbacks, however I do use Bolt throwers by Reebs lures, and they work very well! I personally have the calico hunter and white and red colored ones on a 1 oz
Isn't there a DFW regulation on dropshot where rig should be no less than 18" from weight?
yeah theres some rules on this, however some of the rules apply to certain lakes and streams where the salmon run. They apply that rule as they are trying to eliminate people who snag fish.
Thank you for the reply. Good video. San Diego looks so nice to go fishing. Make sense to use casting gear so grub presentation is not spinning.
@@anglerslifestyle4321 no problemo! where abouts do you fish?
