3713 have the power in its lower section to lift a husky fish off the bottom .
Your second rod should be either a light bait casting or spinning outfit to use when the conditions allow you to use a light 1 or 2 ounce sinker . It is quite a thrill to land a good sized halibut on a steelhead or black bass rod .
The standard end tackle for live bait fishing is a three way rig . To construct a three way rig attach a 36 inch 25 pound fluorocarbon leader tipped with a 1 , 1 / 0 or 2 / 0 live bait hook tied on a perfection loop to one eye of a three way swivel . Next connect a short light monofilament dropper to the second eye of the swivel . Your sinker will be attached to this dropper . Since the dropper is made of line that is lighter than that used in the rest of the rig the sinker will pop off if you get snagged and you ’ ll only have to put on a new weight rather than a whole new rig . Your main line attaches to the third eye of the swivel .
When you ’ re ready to fish , pin a live bait on your hook through the tip of its nose . Put the rig in the water , lower it to the bottom , let out a few more feet of line and then engage the reel . As the boat drifts you want to feel the rig dragging across the bottom . Halibut lay on the bottom

and ambush baitfish as they come by , so it is important to keep contact with the bottom . The rod slowly bending into a deep arch signals a bite . This indicates that a halibut has inhaled the bait and has gotten hooked . When that happens take the rod out of the holder and start working the reel .
Commercial anglers have been trolling for halibut for decades , but recently private boaters and a selected few charter operators have discovered the effectiveness of trolling . In my opinion trolling is not as fun as drifting , but you can often catch more fish trolling because more ground can be covered . For trolling you ’ ll need a beefy rod capable handling up to a 16 ounce sinker matched with a reel loaded with 65 pound braid .
To rig up , tie a three way swivel to the end of the main line . To one eye attach a short medium weight monofilament dropper . To the third eye tie in a 48 inch section of 30 pound leader material and then attach an 8 inch dodger . To the rear of the dodger attach another 36 inches of leader at the end of which you ’ ll attach your bait .
The most common trolling bait is a frozen anchovy known locally as a “ popsicle ” rigged with a pair of hooks or placed in one of the plastic bait rotators more commonly employed while trolling for salmon .
Fewer anglers use artificial lures , but they can be super effective . The best artificial is a white 4

inch swimtail grub with a blue hoochie over the top of it . Other offerings that work include 3 inch wobbling spoons or a 4 inch shallow running minnow plug .
No matter what offering you use the technique is the same . To the dropper attach a 6 to 16 once weight , depending on the current and depth of water and then free spool the rig out behind the boat . If your rig is not dragging across the bottom , you need more weight . The ideal speed for halibut trolling is between 1 and 3 miles per hour .
Since halibut face into the current you ’ ll want to maneuver the boat quartering across and slightly down current . This will help you maintain a low speed while presenting the bait in front of the fish . The strikes you get when trolling are not violent . The rod will simply bend over like it ’ s snagged . That ’ s your cue to pull it out of the holder and begin battling your prize .
San Francisco Bay covers a huge area and there are numerous locations that offer both drifters and trollers a good opportunity for success . Central bay locations such as Angel Island , Paradise Cay , Krissy Field and the Berkeley Flats provide the most consistent fishing throughout the season .
At times the South Bay plays host to hot halibut action . Top South Bay spots include the Alameda Rock Wall , the Oakland Airport , Candlestick Point and the area offshore of the Oyster Point Pier . To the north the lower portion of San Pablo Bay typically yields good fishing during the late summer and

3624 early fall months . Whenever fishing in saltwater tides play a role in fishing strategy and to some extent dictate how good or bad the fishing will be . Halibut fishing certainly isn ’ t an exception to this rule . Halibut are sight feeders , meaning they utilize their vision to zero in on their prey . For this reason the clearer the water the better the fishing .
Within the bay the clearest water is found when tides are light . Typically halibut fishing is best during tides that feature less than three feet of movement , yet if the day you have time to fish features stronger tides , by all means go fishing . I ’ ve caught my share of halibut when the tide was absolutely ripping !
