nice video

curious how much line do you have out? are you fishing it vertically (kind of like a drop shot) or are you letting it out a ways (more like a carolina rig) ?

thanks for the tips

Very nice!!! If I use live bait, that would be my go to setup. Good points you bring up with the foam for the stinger hook, and the line going to the sinker being a little lighter than the main line so if the sinker snags up you only lose the sinker.
Once again, great tutorial George. Thanks for sharing.

Great stuff George!

Halibut rig I use is very similar.

I put 3-4 ft 30# floro leader to the hook (snell and treble like yours). Logic - give that bait more space to swim freely... Give 'em more space to try to avoid that bite. No worries - if halibut decides to eat, they'll get 'em. On a longer leader, your swimming live bait ought to appear more natural to the predator.

I use 1-3 ft of a sinker line, depending on how clear the water is. Shorter if murky, longer if clear. Simple logic - if higher up above the ground and good visibility, you're covering more sand. If murky, you want to bring it down closer to them. Always a lighter line to the sinker.

Required reading for anyone looking to get serious about targeting flatties:

Great write up by Andy:
http://www.kayakfishingsupplies.com/...=kayak-halibut

Another stellar write up by Todd:
http://www.kayak4fish.com/press/Halibut0405.shtml

Now that you know how to catch them, make sure you're ready to land them

http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...ead.php?t=6760

Another thing worth the mention - true bounce balling is definitely very productive way to get them. With flasher and everything, I found it pretty hard on a kayak. It may be easier on a Hobie though? It's one of the reasons I'm considering getting a Hobie.

This is very valuable read from Rick Da Goose, Masters Degeree in halibut sciences:

Good explaination Jorge. Very good articles Adi, had never seen any of those. There is another good article in the last issue or two of Pacific Coast Sportfishing about Halibut drifting. Another helpful hint, if you are using a trap hook, is to hook the bait in opposite directions with each of the hooks. Another drawback to the circle hook is that the teeth of a Halibut can prevent the line from sliding to the corner of the mouth.

Great Video!

I was fooling around the other day and made a wire rig that hopefully will produce some results. For the leader I used about an 18 inch section of 7 strand wire which is fairly flexible, 1/0 circle at the end, then added a short section of single strand which I folded in half and twisted very tightly the entire length (about 4 inches or so) and added a #2 octupus hook as a stinger (or to double hook a live squid). I ran the second section of wire through the loop end of the circle hook and barrel twist up a half inch or so of the stranded wire, finishing off all connections with shrink tube. both hooks are fastened in a manner that gives them free movement. It sounds obtrusive but really its not. Above the rig is a sliding sinker sleeve which easily permits attachment of any size sinker I desire or even omit if I want to fly line a large bait.
