Dana Point Surf Critters: Halibut | Sand Bass | Leopard Shark - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Southwest Kayak Fishing · 04-21-2021, 07:28 AM

This Video is from Saturday, April 10 2021, and I’m calling it Round two. The week prior I hooked into a big Leopard Shark that broke off at the boat. This Time Round Two went in my favor!

This time I was hoping to find my first legal Halibut of the season, so I picked up some sardines at the bait barge and headed over to Doheny beach.

I get lots of questions asking me about what kind of set up I fish.
The majority of the time I use a sliding egg sinker, bead, and 1/0 light wire circle hook.
The weight depends on the depth, current, and bait that I’m using. This time I was using a half ounce.

Currently I’m based out Dana Point harbor, and I launch from Pure Watersports where I store my kayak. There’s also free parking and launching at baby beach in the back of the harbor, or you can launch at the boat ramp for $20.

Great video, fun fight. Great job on the CPR (Catch, Photograph and Release). Thanks for sharing.

Finally a legal halibut, and kudos for throwing it back to get bigger. Nice video.

Thanks John, this last weekend the beach was lit up. I managed to find a bigger one to take home.
