5/19/2021 Capitola Skiff Rental! Huge Halibut on fresh squid

5/19/2021
Got two good sized halibut on fresh squid today at the Capitola wharf. Great spot for halibut and lingcod.

[@fabulousrobert6607]

Way to go!!! 😃👍🏼 I really like to see someone on the calm water today hooking up those fish. I grew up as a kid fishing in the ocean. Caught my share of nice fish, I must say. Looks like the halibut are everywhere all over the place. I’m in the Bay Area and they’re everywhere. Glad to see great numbers of fish 🐟

All right two nice fish. You go any other fish like ling cod? Ling cod is my specialty on my vids. grate video pacific_cliffs I like the docking to!....

[@pacific_cliffs2363]

Thanks man! we only got the two big halibuts that day. the Ling that hector caught was a 1/4 inch too short, I have a vid on my channel of me limiting out on Lingcod.

thanks bro!

[@alexpham7178]

where do you even know where to go? Does the boat come with a fish finder or do you just randomly go out there?

[@pacific_cliffs2363]

The guys at the rental have a map, and they will point you where to go to find them

[@cdsfishing4346]

Nice catch, I actually just caught a halibut on my channel like a week ago

[@pacific_cliffs2363]

Dope bro! im definitly gonna take a few classes for spearfishing. Nice catch!

Good catch! How deep was the water?

[@pacific_cliffs2363]

thanks bro! it seemed like 40-60ft. we where close by the mile buoy in Capitola.

[@jf8468]

Exactly 47 feet

Where did you get the squid?

[@pacific_cliffs2363]

Capitola bait sells fresh squid right now

[@svroyalty3185]

I’m thinking of renting a boat with my boy this weekend , first time ever driving a boat lol is it hard or would you say pretty much anyone can do it ?also you got any tips it’s both of our first time

[@pacific_cliffs2363]

Yea bro, its pretty easy. They give you a quick coarse on the the wharf rental place on what to do. You will get it right away, guaranteed. When you steer you just move the tiller in the opposite direction you want to go. Thats pretty much it. Good luck!

@@pacific_cliffs2363 i appreciate it bro fr 💯 just started getting into fishing so def will be out there more, lmk n I’m always down to link and fish

Dam good shit bro I went twice this year no luck I guess it was too early in the season I went in April

[@pacific_cliffs2363]

Go now bro they're coming in! good luck!

[@jimbo4612]

Nice score however would highly suggest buying a insulated fish kill bag or cooler vs risking hanging fish off the side of the rental. There are simply to many white sharks these days that have learned to steal fish. Had a big shark chow a halibut up while reeling it in a few day ago this encounter just south from the mile buoy area.

[@pacific_cliffs2363]

Good call bro. will do, that must of been scary.

[@cesarcastro5653]

Did they provide you with everything to fish with

[@pacific_cliffs2363]

No you have touring your own gear. They have a bait shop where you can buy everything you need.

[@KiwiReacts]

What size sinker are you using bro?

[@pacific_cliffs2363]

That day I used a 8oz sinker, my buddy was using a 4oz, they both do the job

[@KiwiReacts]

@@pacific_cliffs2363 were you guys trolling?

[@pacific_cliffs2363]

@@KiwiReacts no, we where drifting with the current. so the bait looks like its swimming just really slow.

[@davinagibbs3460]

Be careful keeping Rock cod when you have more than one pole per person in the water. Big ticket!

[@pacific_cliffs2363]

no rock cod where kept. thanks.

[@josephsaeteurn9158]

i thought you can have multiple pole until you actually land and keep a rod-cod then you can't use 2 poles anymore..

[@pacific_cliffs2363]

@@josephsaeteurn9158 youre correct. you can have as many poles as you can handle when fishing halibut outside of the SF bay.
