Migrating Halibut begin showing up in our area in March , attracted
by the spawning herring and can be caught in protected waters thru April.
Calmer seas in May allow access to offshore areas where this fishery peaks
inJune but they can be caught at most times. These flounders average around
30 lbs. with fish to 50 lbs. not uncommon but fish over 200 lbs. have come
from our waters
Our basic techniques for Halibut are drifting over their holding areas bottom bouncing a variety of baits (herring, squid, octopus, or mackeral) or jigging with lead lures. This jigging is also used for bottom fishing, usually a little closer to shore than for Halibut. When bottomfishing we target red snappers and Ling Cod but always catch a mix of the other 26 varieties of Rock Cod or Sculpins
