Sounds like you are going for halibut...

I worked DP for the past 2 years fishing 2-3 times per week trying to get it down with some success. Well, I haven't really fished all this winter though, but about to get back in the water.

I won't share too much here (pm me if you want) but my advice is to change your rigging/approach each time you go out until you have good success both getting strikes and hooking them. Then stick with that approach and fish it hard.

Halibut fishing is hard and there is lots of luck involved, but really you just need to be doing the things that will yield highest % success, do it often enough, and you're going to nail em. You are fishing the right area it sounds like so just keep at it and keep experimenting.. don't keep doing the same thing if it is not working out... keep trying something new until it does.
