Halibut fishing on the San Francisco Bay and just outside the Golden Gate has been nothing short of phenomenal . Limits and big fish are common for anglers drifting live bait and tossing swimbaits . Melynda Dodds ( owner and captain of New Captain Pete Sportfishing ), Meghan Fox ( deckhand ), and their good friend Ellie Braver had an amazing day catching limits of halibut . The limits of stripers did not make the picture but they caught them too !
