Hi TubeDude,
40 minutes is all the time I could fish since I got held up at Big Fish Tackle with the buddies.[
] I would've fished longer but it was dark and the Laker game was on tonight.[
]
What time is the best time to fish the Halibuts???
I have caught them in almost any tide (High or Low), during Grunion runs, early mornings in slack or good movements of water. A tide change from low to high a couple of hours before it gets dark is excellent for the jetty for the 'butts. I for one LOVE the Red Tide!!!! I catch a lot of Halibuts in Red Tide with the live smelts or frozen Anchovy's. Only problem is they don't fight as hard at first. Seems like your pulling up a plastic bag until it gets to the top then it makes a run for it. Usually in regular water (Not red tides) they will make around 3-4 good runs. In the red tide they rarely make two runs before you net them or gaff them.
Hey, about the sleeping! I was pretty tired this week working/watching my kids ages 5 and 2. It's like having three jobs.[][] Plus the Halibut bite is kind of slow so I wasn't too worked up. But I'm ready for tomorrow!!![]
I have my live smelts in the tank ready for tomorrow morning and will be catching something tomorrow. At least I hope![]
