Halibut

Got another halibut out of Redondo yesterday.

This time a lot smaller than last month. 27.5"

Once again I managed to drift into some fuel or oil. With no wind or swell it became nauseating. Pedaled hard away from it and 5 minutes later I get a bite. No other bites besides a couple sand bass and a torn bait split in half.

It's been slow out there, green water and hardly any bait. Last year there was a bunch of small yt. Might need to head south for a change of pace.

NICE FISH! I may be off but it looks bigger than 27.5" Either way, I still need to bring home a keeper. I guess I should hook one and land it first.

Nice gaff shot. The oil at the surface is from natural seepage from the canyon. When the winds are down, or just in your direction, it can get pretty thick at times.

Thanks, learned something new.

Thought it was from a boat. Smelled just like the fuel that a broken down boat dumped in the marina last year.

Yeah, that stuff is nasty, I find myself cleaning it off my kayak at least 1-2 out of 3 trips.
