Hi Pete, thanks for sharing your secret with me while we were on Larry's boat. :( I possibly could have caught more fish had I know what color you where using. I guess I should have asked you.
The Fishco web site is very nice. You did a great job!

Listen to Leapin Bass and Brian because they really know what they are talking about. I'll put in a word for clear/red flake because before I became converted to Big Hammer I was catching halibut and most everything else on clear/red flake Blams, and there were other guys getting multiple cnr limits of halibut on that color Blam. If a lowly Blam of that color works so well the BH in that color has to be a contender for top honors as well as the other BH colors mentioned.
Good luck, and tell us how you do.

i have to say that my personal halibut favorites are 4inch green sardine or the 3 1/2 inch blue smelt. this color is especially good in harbors such as SB or Channel Islands harbor.
