Winter Halibut
Looking for some guidance on targeting winter halibut... not asking for you to share your hotspot waypoints (unless you really want to, then please shoot me a PM, Haha), just some general guidance on where to launch. I've been fishing LJ weekly since late spring and have hooked up on a couple shorts, but haven't really tried targeting halibut more than a couple times. Last week I watched on the fish finder what I assume was a Hali come up off the bottom and check out my bait. So...
1) Should I stick to LJ all winter long, or try SD bay? I live in North County, so LJ is much closer to me, plus I have a chance at hooking up on a WSB or winter YT. 2) If I do fish the bay (good bad weather backup option), where do you guys like to launch? Do you sabiki for bait, or do you launch close enough to the bait barge to pickup a kayak scoop? Any info you can share much appreciated!! Thanks |

I would say find sandy bottom area for halibut.
Rocky bottom for lobster and rocky next to sandy for both plus bass. Kelp for sheephead and bass. tight lines. |

Yeah, I’ve got a pretty good idea of what to look for when targeting. Mostly, I’m curious if SD Bay or La Jolla are equally productive in the winter months for legal size Hali.

Just remember.......................The bigger the bait, the bigger the fish.
