W a s out there again today. Took my time. Made a few nice greens for bait. Found a fishy looking spot and sent the fella down. Almost instant something bit it hard. I let it chew on it for a bit and I thought it had swallowed it....tried to set the hook but slipped right off. Sent it back down it must of spooked it away.... Had some nice big bite marks on the mack...sooo close...... Met smelly fingers out there today thanks for the smelt I couldn't make anymore bait after 10....was a good day nonetheless and tried out my new Polaroid xs100 it was pretty cool too bad water was so foggy couldnt get any underwater footage besides a baby seal playing

I have caught two in one day, only once, but it was awesome. Somethin' about halibut fishing... I love it

Congratulations and enjoy!

I've missed too many halibut this way to not fish with trap hooks. Especially when exclusively targeting the flat kind. The setup I tied for my friend last time out hooked a yellowtail in the corner of the mouth with the circle trap. Had the rig not used a trap hook, he would have not caught his fish.
