My second time Fishing in search of Halibut in San Francisco Bay this year and we arent even at the end of March 2020 yet. Expectations are hopefully catch one, I was not expecting to catch three big halibut! I was drifting with live smelt in the Berkeley flats area near Angel Island and Treasure Island. I bought the smelt from Keith Frazier of Loch Lomond Bait Shop In San Rafael. The Halibut have arrived to the bay! How to fish for halibut in San Francisco Bay? Check out this video.

Right on for caring about not damaging the fish's tail!

@ChrisPfish2 4 года назад

Hey there, of course. I appreciate you always checking out my videos!

@Betteroffwet 4 года назад

nicely done - you were careful on the reeling and the landing -- I like how you are super conservative on the estimates, being careful of the tail. Good clean commentary too. The bay was flat as a lake when you were out there!

@ChrisPfish2 4 года назад

Hi Keith, I appreciate your kind comment. Yeah it was so much fun. Being on any water with no wind is always a great time. When your catching halibut and the GG bridge is behind you doesnt get better. Thanks for checking out the video and making a comment!

Hello Robert, thanks for checking out the video and making a comment. Yes those were some nice halibut to start the season. I caught a couple real nice ones a few days later so stay tuned for that video!

You're killing me with all these videos! Stuck on land. Awesome job out there

@ChrisPfish2 4 года назад

Look on craigslist I have seen free or nearly free kayaks. You can find something, for halibut you dont need to get far from shore. Thanks for checking out the video and making a comment!

@terryquan9052 4 года назад

ChrisPfish Oh I have 2 boats one in Richmond and another in Sac. Just a little busy right now and can’t get on the water. In the summer we actually go swimming in the spot you’re fishing at. Enjoy all your videos!

@joecarlson7107 4 года назад

Nothing better than fresh halibut. Hit enter twice on your fish finder when you hook fish. It will show as way points. I do it all the time in lakes and on the Columbia river. So youll have the slug trail and where you hooked fish.

@ChrisPfish2 4 года назад

Hi Joe, thanks for the advice. Yeah I need to start marking. Okay, enter twice. Yeah fresh from the ocean, meat is very good.

@stephaniehunt3151 3 года назад

Hey Chris! Any chance you have a link for that fish finder? We need a better one that has the depth like that. The one we have is cheap but worked fine for the lake....not so much the ocean lol

@caliaggin357 3 года назад

How does that Lund boat handle the big water and what size motor did it have

@TheRotchy1 4 года назад

Hi Chris great videos. I was just wondering if you are launching at the marina and what time does the bait shop open? We are planning on going tomorrow (Thursday 4/2) and hoping to launch there. Do you know if the smelt can be caught in the bay? Thank you in advance. Greg

@ChrisPfish2 4 года назад

hey there, yeah I am going out tomorrow morning as well. Bait shop opens at 7. Yeah you can catch smelt in the bay. Some days its easy some days its hard. Just gotta find them.

@standish92k 4 года назад

Looked like a nice low wind day. What time did you stop fishing halis and what was the wind at the point?

@ChrisPfish2 4 года назад

thanks for checking out the video! We stopped about 12pm. Wind was just a couple miles per hour.

Any advice for those of us w/o boats on how to get out there? Im assuming all the charters are closed till further notice. Dyin for halibut.

@ChrisPfish2 4 года назад

Hey there, thanks for checking out the video! Yeah all the piers are closed too. Look on craiglists for a kayak or something. I have seen them for free before or basically free. Maybe a paddle board on a nice morning with live bait drifting?

@geospaceangler5373 4 года назад

What size boat

@Triumphs1962 4 года назад

Great video!! Were you on the bottom or how many feet off!!

@ChrisPfish2 4 года назад

you always want to be on the bottom or as close as you can without touching it. So you want to keep checking your just inches above it. That is true for both trolling and drifting. Thanks for checking out the video and making a comment!

@Moreno1232 4 года назад

What rod is that. Awesome bend awesome action... First catch in video?

@ChrisPfish2 4 года назад

That is eric's rod. Its a PHENIX RODS ABYSS SERIES. Not sure model 807 maybe? Thanks for watching

@robertsandner5904 4 года назад

Where do you get those sturgeon rod holders? They are nice! Maybe see you out there on the bay soon.

@ChrisPfish2 4 года назад

Hi Robert, they came with my bought. I bought it used and previous owner left a lot of stuff like that. Thanks for checking out the video! Bites good right now, get out if you can

@robertsandner5904 4 года назад

Planning on a overnight in San Pablo bay then a troll in the am on the way back to the dock for halibut. Thank you man. Good luck out there.

@ConnectedFishing 4 года назад

@ChrisPfish2 4 года назад

whats up man! When this virus is over I will for sure invite you out! In the meantime we can drift or troll together out there. I go often. Shoot me a message if you plan on going anytime. My email is chrispfish2@gmail.com

@reeceadams384 4 года назад

Do you use a lighter wait when drifting I’ve never drifted before

@ChrisPfish2 4 года назад

hello, yeah you use a lighter weight. it always depends on depth and drift speed. Normally its 2-5oz. I would say trolling its normally a 6-16oz. Thanks for checking out the video and making a comment!

@jimmascaro2456 4 года назад

Try the drift into angel island on the incoming. Set your boat to aim directly at the tall rock formation to the right of the fort. Always productive on incoming. High tides - Berkeley flats. Basically look for the crowd.
