#3878, "Goleta Beach - Report"
|
Took my float tube out to Goleta Beach this weekend. Went to my top secret spot and started dragging my favorite bait (live goldfish) around and got bit immediately. If you keep live goldfish in an aquarium and slowly over the course of 10 years add salt they will be tolerant to saltwater and not die when you use them for halibut. You must use a trap rig setup with goldfish. A size 6/0 hook through the lips, then 1 inch of 60 lb. flourocarbon to a 1/0 treble hook near the tail. The first fish turned out to be a 47 incher. My trusty lightning rod was bent over and the line on my Cardinal spinning reel was smokin'. I use my spinning reel upside down so I can control the drag pressure more easily. I let the first fish go as I'm always trying to catch those ultra-yummy 15 to 18 inchers. After three more pesky legals I finally hooked into a keeper. A perfect 16 incher. Immediately bashed it over the head and threw it in the backrest of my tube. I take the bladder out of my backrest because it makes a perfect place to put fish and the DFG never checks it. Ended up with 5 legals and 3 keepers. Stopped to pee on the beach on my way back to the car and didn't get busted. Great day!
Here's me with a nice tasty keeper

Nice catch halibut king! I tried the same with my siamese fighting fish once. Didn't work too well. I think my bait ate all the bitesize halibut. Each time I would bring the bait up, he had halibut scales in his mouth and was just getting fatter and fatter. Eventually a 52 13/32" halibut bit, but it was way too big to keep. I think there should be a 10-14" slot limit on those. Like you said, they're the best tasting ones. I'll have to try the goldfish next time.

Hey Leapin Bass...is your new name Halibut God now? Also, no major offense taken regarding your story, but what got under my skin is some people actually are like that story...keeping the 47 incher of course, as well as EVERY short they can get with total disregard for the ecosystem and future halibut population!! My guess is your story was a response to all of the recent "trash-talking" done recently regarding the upcoming harbor tournament.

Actually you're pretty correct about individual enforcement of DFG rules coming by way of private action. I think it's called a Private Attorney General Action, and its where non deputized citizen can bring suit against someone who violates some statute. Its allowed after you get an "OK" from the DA's/ AG's office validating the cause of action and checking out the evidentiary matters. It's mostly used in conjunction with fair debt collection violations but that'd be pretty kickass if someone did one under DFG. You could even pick up attorney's fees I think.
As far as warnings go, I've tried that one a couple times and it never goes over well at all. I remember swimbait posted last spring where he described how he told some dude not to snag largemouth with a kastmaster yet the guy still strung his catch. That's shameful, but is it preventable on the spot? tough one.

Please don't forget about this phone#. I used it when I saw a family down the street from me unload a bunch of Trout and a net late one night. I called and later found out they were picked up 3 days later after 132 trout, 2 bass (undersized), 17 catfish and a gillnet were found on the premises and no fishing licenses of any kind were found. Evidently they had netted at night at Uvas and were reported by me and someone at the lake. The DFG gave me $65.00 and a nice letter for that.
Tight lines, Wade
