Solo Skiff Halibut 25lb - Ocean Beach 3.22.2020
I fished the weekend of March 22nd and 23rd off the Solo Skiff. Launched from Ski Beach both days. Saturday the 22nd I went up to La Jolla where there were a ton of boats, some life, but no hook ups.
Sunday the 23rd I went rock fishing out front of Mission Bay. I was using a my Shimano Tranx 300 on a Phoenix M1 inshore rod and dropping a 130 gram glow in the dark squid flat fall with a whole frozen dead squid on one hook and a whole frozen dead shrimp on the other hook. I was fished the bottom for a couple of hours and landed a huge Calico and a variety of rockfish then I felt some heavier hits and bam a nice 25lb halibut took it. I floated her up and she sat upright for a while messing with me before I finally nailed a clean belly gaff shot just long enough to clip it off on the game clip. 38" long and 25 pounds, my personal best Halibut. And the most special part about it is I cold see my house in Ocean Beach in the background. Here is the you tube video: https://youtu.be/PfFqPJ97jO8 |

Thanks for sharing, Mikey. I saw the video earlier on your tube channel. Great catch and some great meals for the staying at home duration.
