I will be out there as well but not until about 9am. I will be in an ivory outback.

Wish I could get out there on Saturday, I am going out tomorrow morning. I will be out at 6am at that little park near the wedge In a red scupper pro. I will take tips from anyone.

Couldnt figure out how to copy and post
"Halibut in the bay is absolutely productive, on plastic, they tend to like a scented version, ok I use Gulp shrimp, in "ghost" or "nuclear chicken" which by the way is a hard color to find, works real well down south, like DP and NPH...on a C rig"

Thanks tor the tip, I will try it tomorrow. All I have is natural color but let's see:reeling

mtnbykr2 · 07-26-2012, 03:28 PM

Natural should do it if you find them, "copper penny" is another good color,
I met a guy on a center console last time there he picked up and farmed what he said was the biggest halibut he ever caught, I didn't see the fish before he lost it but it was on ghost shrimp, so they do work...good luck...

Dropshot a small Zoom Fluke, Bass Tricks, Curly Tail Grub. They can and will take plstics if presented correctly. I would also recomend fishing lite line for the Butts 8 or 10 pound max. You might get owned by a big one, but you will increase your bite ratio big time. GL out there!

Just wanted to thank all the BWE guys that came by to give me tips this morn on the halibut... Didn't hook one yet but I am not giving up. Going to try to get to yak fest next week to get as many tips as I can pick up.
