Planning to head there on Saturday with my pops. We haven't targeted Halibut out of the Yaks yet, so any tips on what rig/bait to use to get started? Going to do a little shopping today for some Tackle.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not of much help with catching fish from the salt at all and its even less so in HH.

The only Halibut I've ever caught was on a jerkbait, so yeah....#clueless LOL

Small sabikis and cheap hamburger buns to chum and catch smelt above the eel grass in 6-8 feet then pin em on a Carolina rig.. I have caught a bunch trolling Crystal Minnow deep divers in green. 3-4 inch smelt like plastics on 1/4-1/2 oz lead head.

Thank you sir! Looking forward to getting the lines wet in Saturday!

Also try drop shotting Zoom Flukes (that's the 4") in smokey shad.

I was using 3" gulp Alive Shrimp in the New Penny color with a 1/4 ounce lead head, very slow retrieve dragging it on the bottom.

I like to park near Seabridge park, along Countess. If you get there early enough you can back into a spot and be a few steps from the water. Depends on where you are going to target.

75% of the Hali I've seen are 21.5" :/
