WHY YOU SHOULD THROW SWIMBAITS FOR HALIBUT!

Day 2 solo camping on California's central coast. I almost never see people throwing swimbaits for halibut. Hopefully this video convinces you to give it a try

that first halibut was a master class in how to do it. Nice!

[@FishermansChronicles]

Thank you!! Swimbait is the way!

Gaviota has always been the bomb.... caught av 5 lb Calico up off San Augustine years ago in my RIB
Swore I was tangled in the kelp until it took off !
Fish tacos galore :)

[@dogsense3773]

You're doing great young man!

[@FishermansChronicles]

Thanks!

[@blkaudiofan]

Damn dude should’ve hooked up that octopus get a ling I know it’s not the target species but when the opportunity presents itself take it. You had ling candy!

[@FishermansChronicles]

I would have done that, but the spot I was fishing has no reef and no one really catches lingcod there. I do have another video where I did that and caught a nice ling though

[@forsakenpath4992]

Great vid! Subbed

[@ChrisBailey-io9ws]

I remember that day my friend. Can't wait to get back on it!

[@rogueendeavor]

Solid man!! Killer day out there.

[@BigBaitsBigFish]

[@stevebullock2281]

Another great video man! I’m always happy when I see your videos in my subscription feed. Have fun and keep up the great fishing!

[@FishermansChronicles]

Thank you, glad to hear that!

[@diegoreynoso4306]

If I’m not mistaken this is Gaviota beach. I just have a question how far from shore do you go

[@laszlobacs9347]

Great video I just subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more content. Thanks for sharing.

[@FishermansChronicles]

Thanks for subscribing! Welcome to the channel

[@DesertRatLife]

Get get! Always looking forward to the next video. I need to get my kayak out to that spot.

[@FishermansChronicles]

Thanks! Get out there!

[@tommc70]

Nice work! I'm going to try your method of one live rod and one swimbait rod. Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@FishermansChronicles]

Thanks! One live bait rod and one swimbait rod is perfect in my experience

[@DesertRatLife]

Solid work. Im getting some swim baits.

[@FishermansChronicles]

Thanks! You won't regret it

[@juniorabejo1870]

Nice catch buddy

[@FishermansChronicles]

[@minh7170]

Hope one day u come down to La Jolla. U r an awesome fisherman bro

[@FishermansChronicles]

Thanks! Literally today i was watching videos and doing research on fishing la jolla and i will make some trips next summer for sure

[@Nguyen12121]

You can use more than 1 rod in Ca?

[@russdennis7026]

Nice work dude. But you ever bleed out your fish?

[@boyankartolov5342]

Awesome adventure man! What rod are you putting the life bait on?

[@FishermansChronicles]

Thanks! It's an uglystik tiger medium light 7'6. Highly recommend

[@sonnyabdul4355]

Great video this will save us some time thank you so much, Do you have link for your swimbait please, thanks again.

[@FishermansChronicles]

I don't have a link, but this is a 5inch big hammer swimbait. Get a pear or bone white color and you're set

[@sonnyabdul4355]

@@FishermansChronicles Thanks a lot, let me know when you are in SD let’s fish together using my boat

[@FishermansChronicles]

@@sonnyabdul4355 email me: [e-mail] and we’ll set something up!

[@charging99]

Congrats, was this big sur?

[@FishermansChronicles]

Thanks! This is closer to san luis obispo

[@mikedashiell8941]

Do you guys have heavy current in your area? 10 Oz seems overkill for 55 ft

[@FishermansChronicles]

There can be a bit of current but I could probably get away with 8oz or 6oz on a good day. Just had some 10oz available

[@saltyhooks4252]

What size daiwa bg you have on your rod

[@FishermansChronicles]

4000

[@mariomoreno1418]

What rod do you have paired up with the 4000BG

[@FishermansChronicles]

St croix 7'6 MH Mojo inshore

[@mariomoreno1418]

Thanks brah, after seeing how much pressure you pet on that rod it makes me feel better about owning one that I haven't put it to a test. I've read a lot of bad reviews on the lighter rods of them breaking the tip .Thanks for that video. Keep up the good work

[@FishermansChronicles]

@@mariomoreno1418 Glad you found this helpful, I have not had any problems with the rod and it has worked very well. I really like using a light setup to throw the swimbait, you can feel everything and its a lot of fun

[@ThatIntoThis]

I’m curious what the gray float is carrying behind your boat?

[@grandpa_of_2206]

My favorite fish to eat.

[@FishermansChronicles]

They are tasty but salmon beats them for me

[@fishwithme9245]

what weight of the jig head?

[@FishermansChronicles]

I used 1oz, 1.5oz, and 2oz this day

[@errinbriggs7984]

SLO LOL

[@FishermansChronicles]

Plus or minus 100 miles

[@mattgg1216]

Great vid. What rod is that you are using for the swim bait

[@FishermansChronicles]

Thanks! it's st. croix mojo inshore 7'6 MH

[@mattgg1216]

Thx

[@SEAKR1]

One day that drive gona fall over in the breaks or when you capsize for whatever reason. my suggestion is run a rope line from the drive eye hook to the handle up front and clip it down. Save yourself self 900 bucks right there....

[@FishermansChronicles]

Thank you! Yeah it definitely makes me nervous when launching sometimes
