Took my nephew Kevin from Virginia float tubing. Started around 4:00 pm to fish the rising tide. Caught 3 halibut including one legal before I decided to go chase seabass for an hour or so. No seabass but I did hook another legal halibut that bolted just after it surfaced and came un-buttoned. Bryan showed up around 5:30 and got two halibut right away. Me and Kevin joined him for another 4 halibut including Kevin's first at 20 inches. All fish were caught on 3 inch Hammers in the Blue Shad, Pierce's Perch, and Sara's Trout colors retrieved with little short "hops" along the bottom.
