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!
