Decided to do an early season scout on the Halibut in SF Bay. Although it would be great to catch Halibut this time of year the main purpose of out trip was to get improve our fishing techniques and work out the kinks on the new boat before the the halibut move in bigger numbers during March and April.
We launched Oyster Point around 8am at the start of the outgoing tide. Trolled crippled herring with a hoochie and flasher. Moved from Oyster Point to candlestick park between the 12 and 25th along the channel. Had one good fish on but popped soon after I got the rod in hand. Conditions were ideal and although we didn’t land a keeper Halibut there are signs of life. Looking forward to next trip around mid march. Saw some good looking marks on the FF. Sturgeon?? Striper?
