Wide Open SD Bay Halibut

[Aaron&Julie]

I will retract some of what I said, and apologize for any implication he wasn't being truthful. It just seemed to me he was selling a product, more so by not showing us any photo of any legals he caught. His previous post showed a very impressive 'but (congrats), but it wasn't caught touting what he recently used.
I misread his original post, and do believe he was talking about releasing 100 lbs "worth" of halibut.
Julie and I have had a day or two in the Bay, where we caught 25+ halibut combined using live 'dines, although the legals were about 1 in 10, so many babies were caught. I don't doubt a person can catch 30-40, maybe even more of the small ones, especially using a motorized boat covering much more ground.
As someone noted his technique isn't applicable here, but other methods can be done resembling what he did. A kayaker just can't cover the ground he can in his boat.
Before getting excited about the wide open SD Bay bite going on, let it be known, it's often like that, in particular areas on small 'buts. There are lots of babies throughout the bay and sometimes they stack up.
This is a kayak fishing website though. Keptman, although you don't seem to have a camera you trust out on the water, perhaps your information would be more beneficial to "us guys/gals" here if you showed us a photo of this spoon, and how you rigged it. I doubt downriggers are going to be used by any kayaker, but ball bouncing with your lure may be fruitful for somebody. Thanks.

Anyhow, I've got a 100 pounds of halibut in two days right 'ear...

You see where I'm going with this? If he caught any of what I listed these spoons should be banned.

I've heard that about 45% of a halibut is actually meat. If so, it would take 220lbs of whole halibut to equal 100lbs of meat. That would be more than double the above figures.

George, are you trying to tell us that you've caught some halis that haven't already been posted on BWE?

I don't believe it.

hahaha I love watching the "housewifes of Cabrillo"....have you guys seen the the hali's being caught along the coast right now? Look at the MDR hali derby results from this weekend.

And yes George there are plenty of boats getting 3 fish over 40"'s...hell we all even know of a guy on this board who's caught over 100lb's in two days....from a kayak!!

[tasteslikechikn54]

Just want to make sure we have the facts down, I'm not defending either side just pointing out the grammatical confusion

I realize that it is a run-on-sentence, but you should read it again cause that is exactly what I said.

I did get a heck of a lot of shorts but I also managed to donate close to 100-lb of Halibut over the last two days.

Mr Andrew, the word "of" implies multiple Halibut

If I say I went to the grocery store and bought 10lbs of oranges, did I buy 1 10lb orange, or 10lbs WORTH of oranges.

Sorry, but it does not read like you have interpreted it. In your response you used "a" which I pointed out for you, implying you were under the impression it was 1x 100# Halibut. I'm confused on your defense.

However, I'm not here to get into a debate over grammar. Good day sir.

I could be wrong but I think its a little to late for that.

No need for the condecending gradeschool grammar lesson. If you were to read it again, you might see the words "is about as true" in the sentence that you are paraphrasing. This would indicate that I believe both the statement and the idea mentioned to be untrue. Unless of course you believe one or both of them to be true in themselves.

[GregAndrew]

Or possibly you mistakenly think that I am quoting the original poster on the 100#s?

[DanaPT]

let's start the riots. . .

wait you guys still talking about this?

Back to the celebration. . . okay, no one in so cal likes hockey.

Everyone off to bed. There are fish to be caught in the morning.

moderator, please kill this thread.
