I’m not sure of people that target them, it happens more by accident. I think you can catch them all along the California coast line up into Oregon and Washington

Thanks !!

Thanks man! It was an epic day. Hopefully you get to tug on some tuna soon 🎣🎣🎣

It’s wild how fast the tuna will eat. Some guys troll even faster for wahoo. Wild stuff. It’s the best being out on the ocean even if you don’t catch anything!

We will have to try that next time!

Thanks!!

That octopus was delicious!

We caught them drifting. We used the kicker to slow us down a bit our drift was fairly fast

Yes sir 😎

Oh yeah! It makes it fun when they up in the water column. We went out again last weekend and had another awesome day.

Thanks man! We want to help our people. All of our subs are super cool, they come talk to us at the dock, all good people. We were out there struggling the first time around and wanted to show people what we learned out there.

Thanks Thuy! It was delicious, it wasn’t the giant halibut we wanted but we will take it! Haha. The fish sauce marinade sounds good too. If we get the chance to catch another one we will have to try that 🦑

Thanks Chris! It was delicious!

Those are some big ones! We don’t get the big Pacifics down here. But the California halibut sure are tasty

Love em! They are some good eating 👍

Squidtrex and vertex! Vibing!!

Thanks Mike!

Thanks man!! 👍

Thanks Chris!

Thank you 🙌👍👍

Thanks man!

Thanks man! It was a sweet background!!

0:24 Has Alcatraz the gaff and the fish. All in 1 photo of the SQUIDTREX hanging out of the halibut.

Thats pretty cool when you think about it! i am sure theres alot of people that didnt even notice!

@DDFishingCo Poetry in motion! You are truly blessed, my brother.

Thanks man!

No the big prison island behind it is not Alcatraz. You must be pretty good at geolocate.

@@_Tarzak never played the game but I couldn’t imagine being any good if I got that one wrong

@@ADMartinGolf I was being a sarcastic butt hole lol Yes that is Alcatraz!! Good eye!

@@_Tarzak the joke went right over my head lol.

Alcatraz is right! Haha

That’s awesome, I heard they call them fluke too over in the east coast. They are some tasty fish!!

Halibut and flounder are two different fish. They are both bottom feeders, but they are different species.

How big are more of a tougher meat, and flounder are more of a flaky light meat. But halibut are one of the fish that has less oils less fatty fish. The more you know.

There are so many different species and names. I have heard they are called fluke on the united states east coast. These are California halibut which are more like flounder compared to its big brother the Pacific and Atlantic halibut.

What?

Thanks man! We typically fish when we can. We prefer slower moving tides for the halibut, big tides are usually tough. If we have a big tide, we focus on the first hour or last hour of the tide since it slows down. In this video we are using slow pitch jigging rods, regular jig rods would be ok too, as long as they arent super super heavy. This rod does have a nice tip and loads up well on the fish.

@@DDFishingCo thanks

We were using slow pitch jog rods in this video. I would get some kind of jig rod that could handle the weight of the jig you are using. These rods have a nice tip where they load up really good without being too heavy on the fish. We were using 3.25oz jigs. The rods we ran were rated from 2-9oz. We could probably run a little lighter even, something 1-4 or 2-6 oz would be ok too.

Hmm if I was going from shore, I think there are more spots down in Monterey from the shore. But if you go up past SF and hit the Sonoma coast line and Mendocino coast line there is great rock fishing from the shore.

@@DDFishingCo thanks for the info ! Ima hit up Monterey this weekend

Thanks man!

Halibut and flounder look a lot alike!

For the halibut we are jigging it but you can use them to troll for other species

@DDFishingCo nice, they hit on white and pink? Down in socal white and pink is the jam for Surf halibut

We haven't tried it for halibut but we have caught rockfish on the white and pink. I am sure it works really good!

Halibut is bigger on west coast. Get up to 150+ up in Alaska and pudget sound

That’s right, up in Alaska they get giant!

Thanks man🙌

We absolutely love em!! They are such a versatile bait. All fish love them! 🔥

130 size for this application

@@DDFishingCo thanks for the info gonna have to try it out

You got it! Good luck using them, they are so versatile. You’ll love them

Haha they will get you if you don't pay attention haha

Flat fish! There are several in the family of flat fish. Flounder, Fluke, Pacific Halibut, California Halibut

Thanks!!

For California Halibut it’s big.. they are a different species of halibut than pacific halibut which get much bigger

Yep in the bay. We caught jigging, it was a blast!

We try to make a reverse "V" shape towards the boat. The farthest rod down the center, then the next rods would be a little closer, the closest rods are right off the side of the boat in very close to the prop wash. Our distances vary, we do it by eye really. Albacore come and eat in the prop wash. If I had to guess I would say the closest rods are 40-50ft. and the farthest rods are 200-300ft maybe?

@@DDFishingCo thnx alot ..have fun

Thanks!!

We were using the 130s which are 3.25 ounces. Thanks Eddie!

Thanks man! We haven’t done live bait all year. Artificial lure bites are sweet. Good luck out there 👍

When we first started it was pretty quiet then a bunch of party boats showed up. I think they were all leaving a striper bite and then heading to a calmer area to fish to get out of the wind.

Thanks!!

You can cast and retrieve them too. There’s a variety of ways they can be used. When you retrieve them it’s very similar to a lipless crank bait but with more action with the appendages. You can troll with them too with the bigger sizes for offshore fish.
