Every time I target California Halibut it has always been with live or frozen anchovies or herring. It was finally time to try with artificial. I have wanted to for awhile but its hard to go away from what has brought me so much success. So it was finally time to try some swimbaits and boy did those work well.

yeah and they bite real hard.

@DeanKreger-xc9hf Год назад

Gabe is a good fisherman, he has talent. It is good to learn a new type of tackle. I live in trout country this technique can be applied from a boat, from the shore or in the river current. As soon as my favorite lake and river ice off I will give it a try.

@ChiefToad Год назад

I much prefer this kind of fishing over almost anything else. Hard to beat live bait for consistency, but like you mentioned, this way is so much more fun, and you almost never have to deal with by-catch except the odd striper.

@charlierahner2141 Год назад

Swimbaits - my favorite way to fish for flatfish. My experience has been if they are biting the tails then the size and/or color is not matching the baitfish they are feeding on. Take a look at Tsunami Swim Shads they come in sizes from 2" to 9" with regular weights and heavy weights for deep water... and a lot of baitfish imitating colors. The weight is integrated into the bottom of the head making them ideal for bottom bouncing. The fish often take them by the head when you have the right lure tied on.

@CowabungaCal Год назад

I’ve always used a 3/4 oz done very well with it.

@ChrisPfish2 Год назад

yeah exactly that is the weight you want. Nothing heavy so it doest sink super fast

@Bfishin Год назад

Hey great job Chris what size swim bait were you using 4” 5” 6” ? Looked at Amazon in your description and it gives choices?

@@mattgg1216 if im casting out swimbaits i use any medium heavy/fast action bass rod. If im jigging/drift/troll,I use a shimano trevela medium jigging rod. Any medium heavy bass rods/ ugly stick will work for all fishing methods.

zero scent. I was thinking about it too, didnt have any bait fish scent, just like garlic, bloody tuna.

I caught a 28 inch also on a swim bait, but I actually put it on a halibut rig. Instead of using a 6 oz weight, I put a 6 oz jig head with a Berkeley grub tail. Single hook trailing with live anchovy and the halibut bit the swim bait. It feels so different

@djmilhaus Год назад

With salmon closed for the year, are you seeing significantly more boats fishing halibut? Looks busier but I have no reference. If there is a notable increase in pressure, I wonder if halibut stocks will also take a tumble and create problems in future years.

@ChrisPfish2 Год назад

yeah there is more boats. Same amount as 2021 when salmon was closed till June and covid made more people fish with stuff closed and time off work. June 1 the limit goes from 3 to 2.

limit is going to 2 on june 1. No doubt its taking a hit. 2 years ago salmon was closed until June, i remember as many boats. Covid was in full swing so lots of people were fishing during that time. But yeah its taking a hit

@ronmodafferi8202 Год назад

@@ChrisPfish2 the 2 per day limit is a bit short-sighted in my opinion, even if it’s a step in the right direction.

and with live bait you get lots of shorts swallowing or getting hooked in there gills right? They will swim back down when you release them but soon after die.
