Halibut Help San Diego/Mission Bay - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

beef78 · 04-05-2013, 07:06 PM

I already asked over on the bloody decks forum and got a couple good hints, but:
I am having trouble catching Halibut. I have been using live and dead anchovies off the bottom. Only thing I have caught have been lizard fish.I have heard that lizard fish are indicators of halibut being around, but before I could catch anything worth a darn, lizard fish had taken all my live bait. I have ben fishing from a kayak and drifting with 6 ounce weights bouncing across the bottom and the bait line tied to a 3 way swivel about 8-12 inches above that and a 18" to 24" leader of 15lb to 30lb test with the anchovy hooked through the lips vertically.
Thanks
