    One thing that I noticed right off was ... You let your adrenaline get the best of you and so you weren't giving your bait enough time to hit the bottom. It also means that your retrieval was too fast.

      @@Hook2Cook have you tried a high low rig from the surf? We've had some decent success with it in the past. I've used a grub and a fluke and landed some doormats. A high low with 2 bucktail jigs with cow strips did pretty good too. I'm sure a couple paddle tails in tandem would work as well. I'll use varying sizes together like a 1/2oz jig & 4" soft plastic with a 3/4oz jig and 6" soft plastic. I think having multiples increases the natural aesthetic to entice a bite. Could just be superstition who knows 🤷‍♂️

I've had others ask me what I'm using for bait and I tell them but I've never gave them the technique.

  • @jimbo4612
    @jimbo4612 Před 2 lety +3

    Found a deadly secret with halibut . Use a football jig with strong hook and use a matching size tube bait. Run the tube up the hook but don't cover the football , leave the football exposed. Why the football over a hookup bait? A football jig rigged this way will rock side to side and this will make the tubes tails shake. Key here is "Vibration" and Calif halibut have a long sensitive lateral line which they heavily use to pick up vibrations. The Tube also holds scent very well and will leak out the back leaving a scent trail. The Vibration and Scent combo is deadly
    Ideally paint your football jig white and just dot some eyes on with a sharpie. Tube wise raid your bass box or hit up tackle warehouse for cheap tubes on sale. White is the best but other colors work. Cast and just hop the tube combo like you were fishing bass across a open flats area. You will be shocked what happens

      Yes Jim! Thanks for this! Actually found some really nice tube jigs at the tackle store and looked at them for like ten minutes with the wheels turning! The scent trail sounds awesome also!

      @@Travis3500 Just using a Standard football jig with a heavy wire hook. 3/8ths ounce 3/0 with 3.5 inch tube. Just make sure your football is not a light wire hook as the bigger halibut or other big species will bend or break lighter largemouth bass football jigs

      @@JR-bw3tr Salt anglers were using a similar concept in the 1970's targeting bluefish and striped bass. I just added a rounder football head concept so the tube will rotate 30 degrees on the fall and retrieve. Scent wise the products available these days are serious gamechangers however.
