Thank so much for the tip, I learned a lot, especially for a beginner, the difference between fluke and grub explained was awesome and how to work it, and 6-10 inch from the weight, wow, thank for everything!!!
Good stuff! I’m from Michigan planning a trip to San Diego in July. My goal is to catch and cook some fish out there from shore or pier. Catching a Halibut would be great but I’m open to anything (“edible”). I’ve been going through your videos absorbing the knowledge. Thanks for the content!
@@evanherrera5948 yeah. Catching rainbows at Big Bear was pretty easy. I’d definitely recommend that. I didn’t do any pier fishing as we just didn’t have a lot of time. The Big Bear part of our trip had fishing built into the itinerary.
Thats a hard one, as a passenger on a charter boat, you really at mercy of where the captain will go to fish for halibut. But utilizing a rig that targets the bottom, like a dropper loop setup does well when getting the halibut to bite.
yeah alaska has quality halibut fishing, much like norway. monster halibuts. In norway we mostly use jigs, deadbait rigged with a heavy jighead and with a stinger or a sea boom or gliding boom. i use 75lb braid and 1.4mm shock leader.
The "better" option is the one that matches the bait size the best. If you are fishing with a larger artificial or live sardine a 2/0 can work great. If the bait is smaller, we would recommend matching it with a smaller hook.
Glad I finally found BDoutdoors on youtube, for some reason I hadn't seen it. Great job as always Rodney! I was #97 thumb up so yes, I'm guessing were about to see you catch that butt for BD!
Great explanation but brow, your drop shot rig in the video shows the weight distance from the hook is more than 12+ inches. From what I can estimate, it's more like 15 inches which is usually the distance I've used and have had more success with this distance than 6-10 inches. Also if you are standing on a dock or a pier and casting, the angle of how high off you are will make the distance from the weight on the hook compared to casting from the sand/inshore.

Was it worth it?

Rodney you should give classes!
Thanks Rodney for being clear, concise, and specific. Very helpful...ks
Thanks for the tips. God bless you.

Great presentation!! Please make more of them. 👍🎣🙏🏻
Great video!! We will give it a try tomorrow.
this is the best tips on Halibut!
Really useful thx
good tips and make sense, thanks!
Thanks man !
No problem, good luck!
ya thanks for the tips
welcome! thanks for watching!
12-14 inches with light like for me, I present an injured baitfish. 6-10lb fluorocarbon.
Great!
Thanks for watching!
Great video bro
Rodney, thank you. Super helpful and a very clear presentation!
Rodney Marquez is so great! Thanks for this helpful video :)
You're so welcome!
I've a friend that I'll be telling about your video. great job telling the hows and whys on the technique
Thanks John. I really appreciate that! more to come, stay tuned :)
I love it good tips 🤪👍
thanks!
It's good tips to catch halibut more efficiently..the predators seem to use less energy to get a bite ..thank for the brilliant tips
Can you tell us what are the signs to look for or ideal conditions to start attempting to fish halibut on a charter boat?
Thats a hard one, as a passenger on a charter boat, you really at mercy of where the captain will go to fish for halibut. But utilizing a rig that targets the bottom, like a dropper loop setup does well when getting the halibut to bite.
Main man My man Rodney Marcus , I gotta to say thank you , explanation is right on Brother 👍
Cool video bro! Do you have a tutorial on how to rig this halibut drop shot set up?
Here in Alaska I use 100 lb test line and 2 to 4 lb weight.
Pacific Halibut are the real deal! Our California halibut on average are only 8-50lbs.
yeah alaska has quality halibut fishing, much like norway. monster halibuts. In norway we mostly use jigs, deadbait rigged with a heavy jighead and with a stinger or a sea boom or gliding boom. i use 75lb braid and 1.4mm shock leader.
What if you drag the weight over the halibuts head? Will it still bite?
I know you said from SHORE, whats your thoughts on 6 to 10" from the bottom using dropper weight drifting from a BOAT using live bait????
Great video Rodney
I’ve caught halibut with a drop shot 👍
Thank you fishing s mission tomorrow this should help
Appreciate the footage of an actual halibut hunting the bait
Thank you so much for the explanation! Such an awesome video
Why this style vs just a 2 oz jighead with a swimbait attached? Whats your opinion on which works best?
This is exactly what I was looking for
Yeah buddy. Just discovered your channel today.Thanks for the tips. I'll be using this technique in the Santa Barbara area this week.
curious on how you did ! any luck yet?
@@user-vx9wy6rk7d no luck on the drop shot. But got a keeper 30' using a jerkbait.
Is that mojo rod medium or medium heavy. Wich one do you recommend
Nice catch, I actually just caught a halibut on my channel like a week ago.
Patience Is A Virtue

Thanks Johnny! Happy Fishing and thank you for commenting
Thank you for the great tips.
Good stuff brother thanks
Your video is very informative. your tips are very great too. Thank you bro.
Do you know if a size 2 hook is better than a size 1 hook for this? I know a lot of people that use a size 2/0, so I am just wondering.
The "better" option is the one that matches the bait size the best. If you are fishing with a larger artificial or live sardine a 2/0 can work great. If the bait is smaller, we would recommend matching it with a smaller hook.
@@user-vx9wy6rk7d I am using a swimbait that is on the smaller side, so I will use a size 1/0 hook. Thanks for letting me know!
Tip : after a catch use the underside white skin in strips / pieces , they snatch it up
Instant sub from me buddy! Clear and concise!
Thanks it is very helpful.
join fishing with you someday. just post when you go fishing
Thanks so much!!
Nicely done!
Great, informative video. Thank you!
Top notch! Thanks for the info!
very nice explaination
Wow!!!! Thank You for that Info
Glad I finally found BDoutdoors on youtube, for some reason I hadn't seen it. Great job as always Rodney! I was #97 thumb up so yes, I'm guessing were about to see you catch that butt for BD!
! checking this video. I have to catch some halibut now!
-Rodney
Is this Dana point
nope
Great video, well done.
Thanks,
Thats one Hell of a bit 👍🏽
Thanks! Go get em!

Also if you are standing on a dock or a pier and casting, the angle of how high off you are will make the distance from the weight on the hook compared to casting from the sand/inshore.
I thought about that too. I'm fishing for halibut tomorrow. So I'm going to tie two swimbaits to my leader. Double dropshot.
Great info! Thanks
Thank you for the tip. Does it matter if it’s high tide or low tide to target halibut?
Hi Chan, I always fish when the high tide is coming in. I normally start 3 hrs before high tide and finish before high tide.
Awesome tips, appreciate the advices🤙🏽
What kind of soft plastic lure? How Long is it.
great question. I personally like using the 4 inch white ice zoom fluke bait. but you can definitely use the 5inch sizes
Liked and subscribed. Good info. Thanks Fishing Rod#2
I want to fish with you bro!!!!
Do you tie the line to the weight side or the plastic lure side?
I have gotten when I tied the hook like 18"....
Nice!
Good tips!
2 thumbs up!!
Best halibut spots in bay area
Trying this rig tomarow hopefully the halis are out thanks for the tips bro
curious on how you luck is! let us know if it works
- Rodney
@@user-vx9wy6rk7d we caught a 19 inch corvina on anchovies bait and wait style huge sting rays and a small hali 19 inch alot of action brother
How deep can you drop this setup
Was that like a modified Carolina rig? Your weight in between main line + leader hook.?
No, weight at the bottom, the hook/lure is between mainline and weight...
Thanks for the tips and tricks bro! You're pretty much saying that you fish for halibut the same way you would for a catfish!
U da man!!!
Saludos a migo eselente pesca
Nice!!!
What part of San Diego do you recommend?
Find the sandy beaches...
Love it!
ive had halibut chase a bait all the way to the surface..lol
Oh I had that happen before too! not very common though. Thanks for the share
-Rod
I had a Halibut chase my baits inside my bait tank!!🤣😂🥴
flouro .?...mono?
nice, where are you fishing
San Diego Bay :)
I love it when they ask where.
103 likes !
:D
My first cast: My bait is all beat up a scratched
You got a bite!
Sounds like your teaching kids how to fish
6 googans gave this video a thumbs down...
Hallibut gotta be one of the most ugliest fish I’ve ever caught
Plastic....lol
That is not a drop shot rig, that is a Carolina rig.
The Carolina rig uses a sliding weight above the bait kept away from the bait by a swivel and bead. This is a drop shot rig
@@billhailey9563 Yup
