Hey all of you calfishermen that wrote me back, I just wanted to say that I don't keep under sized halibut or more than my limit on halibut. That was someone that put words in my mouth. I just wanted to know if anyone wanted to go fishing at Goleta beach on saturday. I am 17 years old and a junior at DP and I have been fishing at goleta beach since 1989, and for halibut since 1996 so I know how to fish for halibut, but maybe not as good as you guy's although i never fished with you guys. so come out to goleta and fish. MAYBE YOU GUY'S WILL MAKE A NEW FISHING PARTNER.

Can't make it this Saturday. I'll be out there tomorrow morning though. We'll hook up some other time. Good luck!

Hey leapin bass, this is HALIBUT KING I am going out there this friday but on the pier, between 3:45 pm and 7:00pm casting plastic fishtraps and hammers if you want to go.

I can only make it in the morning - next time!

Fished this morning from 8:30 - 11:30. Conditions looked good, water temp 60 degrees. Only squeaked out two short halibut. One on a 4 inch Fishtrap and one on a Fastrac. Nothing in shallow both fish were in taken in 8 ft. of water.

Ruben,
You sound like a legit guy. I would go with you if I was down in SB for the weekend. Good luck and let us know how you do.

Ruben I apologize if I insulted you. I was just having fun adding gas to the fire of the smackfest between "Harbor King", "Harbor Rat", and whomever else wanted to join in stirring the pot. You seem like a stand up guy from your posts as I'm sure the others are. I wish I lived in your area so we could make peace while hooking up on some Halibut.

Tight lines,
Wade

This is owen and all go with you to the pier or you can come with me and we can get live bait in my skiff and go out and cetch some halibut. repliy as quick as you can -owen

Harbor King, I live up near San Jose so it can be kind of hard to find the time to make a trip down there, not to mention the funds. Between 2 small children and a wife that works most weekends so I have to watch the kids, it can be hard to find enough time for a serious fishing trip. I'd love to go down there and show you how a real man gets his Hali's on Lures, but it might not happen for a while. How can I get ahold of you when I finally can make it happen? Besides posting here I mean.

Tight lines,
Wade

Ruben, I told a friendly tuber about this site a couple of Sunday's ago off the creek mouth at Goleta. He was fishing smelt from a Plano bucket and doing better than we were with dead anchovies. I was on a mango colored yak and my buddy (Bucky)was on a white one. Was that you?

Either way, welcome to the site, and see you at Goleta.
