11660, My first legal Halibut from shore.
Posted by kpn, Sat Mar-20-04 05:47 PM
After I learned that the Hali was biting from 72nd Jetty in Long Beach from other board. My bro-in-law Leon & I went down to tried for the first time. After we maked bait at the river near by. When we were there I met the couple from the other board & They leaded us to the fishing spot ( Thanks to them, very nice couple ). When we got there the regular already caught a almost legal , lots of short. One guy caught a legal inside the channel . One of the regular gave us 4 tiny live bait when he left ( all of my bait are dead & i don't have that many either )and I got one short right away, the next bait in the water got pick up and I can fell that's a legal one , it was 23" so i kept it. We ran out of bait & bought some more from the shop on the other side of the channel, fished the out going tide in the channel side for 3 shorts between two of us & I got one big hit but came unbutton after 10 second fight.
My first time fishing for halibut but love it :-)

Congrats on the Hali. Just curious, what side were you fishing? The open ocean side or the side the boats go in and out? Thanks

"Just curious, what side were you fishing? The open ocean side or the side the boats go in and out?"
Kman. I caught the legal on the open ocean side but one guy caught another legal (23.5")in the channel side ( the side boats go in & out).
We fished the out going tide on that side, got one big hit & 3 shorts. I may try to go there again this weekend.
Thanks Josh. I read your Santa Cruz report & that is a BIG ling you got there & a nice mix of bass. I always love to read your report & pictures .
My shoulder is getting better now and can pull on some fish, hopefully it will completely heal by the tuna season ;-) .
