Halibut rig
I wanna hit up cabrillo harbor this saturday for halis. Ill be in a blue prowler 13 with a couple avet stickers so come down and say hi or ill come over to you. I dont know how to rig for halis so i need sime help. What kind of rig should i use with sardines or squid or whatever is at the bait barge? Should i use something like a sliding egg sinker or a bounce ball rig? Also do you guys do a slow troll or ket the wind drift you? Is 20lb line overkill? If you guys can answer these questions ill be set and ready. Thanks alot all help is appreciated.

if there is a lot of crab grass, a reverse dropper loop type set up with a torpedo sinker will keep your bait above the grass and the torpedo will pass through without picking up (hopefully) a ton of crab grass A stinger is also recommended depending on the size of the bait. |

Most of the guys that I know that fish Cabrillo use 6-8oz sinkers, I've tried 4oz but I couldn't keep it on the bottom unless I was able to maintain my position and that meant continous peddling/paddling into the wind on an incoming tide. If you're just getting started try every rig that you can imagine and you'll find one that works for you, I've had luck with Carolina rigs, three way swivels and drop shots. I usually fish two rods, one with a three way swivel and the other with a drop shot......both have been successful. One last thing, pay really close attention to the wind reports. Cabrillo winds are no joke and you DO NOT want to get stuck out in the channel when the winds pick up, it'll sneak up on you and getting back to the launch will be lots and lots of fun. If you're going this weekend the Saturday winds aren't looking to good for a beginner. Saturday 8am -7kts 11am - 10kts 2pm - 15kts Sunday looks better 8am - 2kts 11am - 5kts 2pm - 9kts http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/cabrillo_beach http://www.windfinder.com/forecast/s...abrillo_marina

For me presentation usually depends on water depth. 20 or so I like a sliding sinker set up. Much deeper than that I go with a dropper loop. 20lb isn't to heavy but shallow I fish 12-15, deeper 20-25. Weight size again depends on depth but drift speed too. In my opinion if you're not in contact with the bottom you are not hali fishing. I also like to keep my line about as verticle as possible, better to feel for light bites. I never use a trap rig and generally use a light wire circle in the bait's nose. Halibut fishing can be the most frustating fishing we have in So Cal. Ever bite could be a huge fish and you have to be on your game all the time. Good luck. Mike

20lb line should be fine. if you have a fish finder use it to look for sandy bottoms with little rock structure. slow drift with a 3 way swivel rig 2-4 oz weight
