[@leev5989]

awesome video Edward. I used to float tube that Whole stretch of beach just maybe 10 yard off the shore, always had great Luck never got skunked. Glad to see they are still there.

[@MattBangsWood]

Nailing them! Best to do it. Love seeing my Grandpa out fishing!

That was so cool with that impromptu session with Grampa.

What a cool dude.

Smart man with the plan in his blue hand Phoenix s glass weedless bad ass bass first class. Good fishing and equipment.

[@Surf2TurfCaster]

I fished this beach the last 3 mornings and have got skunked. This made me sick🦨🦨

[@Hook2Cook]

This was last week. What were you throwing?

[@Surf2TurfCaster]

@@Hook2Cook 110s and 115s I’m getting a lot of Grass however so weedless may be the key I’m thinking…. Do You have better luck with the weighted hook or drop shot?

[@Hook2Cook]

Weighted hook has landed more fish for me compared to the dropshot dropshot there

[@Surf2TurfCaster]

@@Hook2Cook that’s very helpful thank you sir! have you ever tried a Texas rig? I have weighted hooks however they aren’t the battlestar and are only 1/8 ounce. Im wondering if pairing that with a 3/4 Texas rig would do it??

[@Hook2Cook]

@@Surf2TurfCaster we were using the 3/8oz… maybe ad a 1/4oz weight in front of your 1/8 hook

[@tanyag278]

I can talk fishing and techniques and strategies all day just like you guys love every aspect of fishing ,: When I run into you guys every once in a while it’s always a blessing to fish with you guys. Stay salty my brothers. !! 🤙🏼🎣

[@Ilyagonefishing]

Awesome video! I wish we had a chance to fish together when I was living in California, but grateful to have forged a true friendship with Vince during my time there. Can't wait to visit and hit the west coast sand again at some point!

[@Hook2Cook]

Yea bro, sad we didn’t get to meet and fish together. One day for sure!

Just caught my first Halibut on the new hooks. 3/8 with white fluke. It was a short but I'm stoked. I need to figure out something a little longer to apply with good action.

[@wyattpatry]

Awesome, will you guys post the links to the rest of your gear? Thank you!

[@OffroadLifestyle5thgen]

Can I attach the weighted hook with a technical snap or do you tie it directly to the line

[@Hook2Cook]

@@OffroadLifestyle5thgen I use a snap to switch between the swimbait and jerkbait all the time. It’s fine

Thanks for the tips, grass can be a pain when surf fishing. Looking forward to trying out the new Battlestar Hooks & Swim baits. Can you let us know where you are fishing? Just a general area would be great. Thanks, keep up the good work.

[@REXTHEAPEX]

what rod/line set up??

[@Mrgarcia84]

Is low tide the best time to fish for halibut?

[@VINCEGOESFISHING]

Yup 😊

[@SaraWenzel-b8g]

What beach is this? I want to try for halibut sso bad

[@hntgnut]

LOL, we were all at Camp watching you guys pulling those Halibut in, I went home and stocked up on Surf Products 😂🤣😂, we need to go out sometime I have the 22' Striper and Lady Luck is Marty's Boat, that week I did get a 30 pound Sea Bass,,,, YaHoo... I was out there last week trying to get my sister a Halibut or Sea Bass, she just turned 81 and can out fish most fishermen, came in empty though.

[@tomjones2031]

Great video….the info was awesome. Will be getting xls 3/8 once… any suggestions on larger sizes(hooks the same)? Based on wind or fish size? Also when will the new battlestar swimbait be available?

[@Hook2Cook]

Great questions! We sold out of the 3/8 last night but got more in today. Go ahead an place that order, we’ll have em. The swimbaits look like September for the drop date. The 3/8 oz is the best all around- you can cast plenty far and can work it slow enough without just dragging on bottom. The 1/2 is nicer with more current. The 1/2 is barely heavier but you can tell.

[@cristiancasillas707]

Hello I know this is an older video but love it and I was wondering what beach is this? Me and my cousin are trying to get into shore fishing in SoCal thanks!

[@michaeljordan3084]

Have you guys ever experimented with a Tokyo rig for buts?

[@Turtisland]

Just came from your dropshot video from two years ago and am surprised to see a day old video on halibut again, subbed. Love Halis

[@robertfukushima4751]

And out of curiosity, what would the be compared to be newer versions? Like a 200 or a 150?

[@Hook2Cook]

Look at the weights. The vr75 is under 10 oz. The bigger you go starts to add fatigue and the bigger spool might affect casting distance negatively. Unless you’re throwing big 3oz plugs the 75 is solid for most applications

[@Fishing_Cali925]

Is this in socal

[@Jiwaijiwai]

Can I ask you where’s the beach at😂

[@christophermoguel5590]

What beach is this?

[@JeffreyJeffJeffrey]

21 and 8/10ths?! What kind of tape measure are you using?!

[@MrFerrer10]

What beach is this

[@barclaysauers255]

Very impressed by your action this day. I cast for Halibut exclusively here in No. S.D. Co. Weed has been everywhere, worse than ever this season (April-August) so when I hear weedless I listen. My questions about your modified Texas rig. How does the 3/8 oz. weight plus swimbait cast compared to say a L.C.110 at 5/8 oz. I'm throwing on a 9' Lamiglas med.mod. with a nice spinner and distance is important to me. Does this hook come any heavier and do you think it would be as effective. With the early winds we get here I usually end up tossing 11/2 oz. dropshot or even a medium size Crocodile. I gotta cover a lot of water. Thanks. Please reply.

What blue rod is that?

[@Jifnei]

What size is your reel and rod length? I wanna set up a halibut combo. And you guys said 3/8 weight right? The waves in socal are crazy so would you suggest finding areas with more calm waters or just use heavier weights? Thank you in advance 🙏🏼

[@VINCEGOESFISHING]

Find calmer water. Protected pockets and areas. For halibut fishing with swimbaits I really like my north coast MH 9’ or 9’6”.

[@Jifnei]

@@VINCEGOESFISHING okay great thank you for the info!

[@paulkaplan1147]

Now this pisses me off! I run all the way to the coke plant and get skunked and you guys take a nice little stroll down the beach and get 3 keepers. LOL Great job, as always fun to watch.

Oh no! Probably a different day 😜

[@aaronmorita8735]

What is the best time of the year to catch halibut, surf fishing on the central coast?

[@Hook2Cook]

It’s more of a water temp thing. Once the water is in the mid 60s that’s when

Great video! Just ordered the battlestar weighted hook from your website. You didn't have the swimbait listed there though-where can I order those?

[@Hook2Cook]

Awesome thank you! the swimbaits should be available mid to late september!

[@NEVETSTEVEN510]

What pound letter

[@Hook2Cook]

30-40# bite leader

[@thereadinesschannel7610]

Ok dude, I’ve got to do some of this. Is this a seasonal window for halibut…..high or low tide matter?

[@Hook2Cook]

This was an outgoing tide. It was also before a full moon. Depends on warmer water but I’m sure it warned by location. The water was in the mid 60s to get them to come this shallow

[@mateohellabay78]

What time is best to go for halibut? Low tide?

[@Hook2Cook]

Generally yes. And warmer water 60s and above, are another goo indicator they’re near shore.

[@somchai3366]

Do I need a fishing license to fish on the beach? Going to Pismo next week. Thanks 😃

If you’re over the age of 16 you do need a license

Here ya go ;) www.youtube.com/@VINCEGOESFISHING

[@VINCEGOESFISHING]

Hi Mark, that hook is the Battlestar XLS weighted swimbait hook. It is 5/0 size, works great with a 5” rib bait, and I usually prefer the 3/8oz. Sometimes I use the 1/4oz or 1/2oz.

[@leogetsome]

When will your jigs be available

[@leogetsome]

Rib baits that is

[@Hook2Cook]

@@leogetsome very soon stay tined

[@Nobodybaby78]

So are you not able to cast too far then with 3/8oz? I typically use 3/4-1oz lead heads for swim baits and then drop shot with 1-2oz and worm hook, or ebi baitholder, gotta get a lil deeper in nor cal for the most part I guess? And yeah them white keitechs are great
