Headed out bout 6:30 am and started chucking the LC. No wind to start and it was very calm.
12lb P-Line on a Sahara, with a Diawa Coastal. Strong current on the dropping tide.
Went too the sport that was producing yesterday and fished it for an hour without even a bite.
Took me three hours of moving around and casting the LC before I would get the first action of the day. Some times I would throw the Kroc for a bit, but I would always go back to the LC.
When I'm casting on the rocks I always look around for a Halibut landing zone. I want to be prepared in case I hook into one. Glad I did cause it was a freight train strike! Maybe because I was going against the current some this fish felt legal right off the bat. Wham! 3 solid runs and my reel is going zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Im glad I had the drag set right too! Took a good 5 minutes and I found her a good landing zone.
This fish was a real fun fight!
measured out at just 21 inches! I was wrong. haha! It did seem like it though.
:lol:

Well I did get one today and it took a lot of time, but in the end it was a great weekend of fishing. I did see a guy get a 25 inch Halibut on a live Sardine.
Everyone pretty much knows the area so I don't mind sharing. Thanks for reading and tight lines.
No legal but oh so close, maybe next time.
