I had a chance last summer to take some good friends fishing "just for the Halibuts" weather was good, we anchored in a spot where we have got some good fish in the past. We we intersted in just fishing bait on a hook behind the boat with rods in rodholders.
We used herring and some pink salmon scraps for bait with a couple of pounds of lead, anchored in about 150 feet of tidewater.
After a while we shook a couple of juvinile halibut and kept going interested in something better. Then one rod got a heavy hit, the fish was hooked, pulled heavily for a while then kinda quit. We got it up and released it. I had a dedicated filmer, it was fun.
Wish you were there, ;)
