Fishing setup for halibut on a pier and how to land fish by yourself

[@tho464]

Nice video. Congrats to Caesar catching off the pier and cool way to land it.

[@BackFishing]

Thank you. Cesar so casual and relaxed. Well thought through. Good vibes! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@erth2ingrid]

Cesar is amazing-clearly a fisherman who is very resourceful. Thanks for sharing.

[@BackFishing]

The day is even more enjoyable meeting people like Cesar. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Thanks for the video! Used to fish that pier when I was a kid, in the way back!

Fort Point Pier now Torpedo. LOL

Nice work on Landing that Hallabit.

[@BackFishing]

Heard rumor they caught 14 yesterday. That's productive.

[@fishing_4life_Kayak]

Does he catch the bait or buy if so where

[@BackFishing]

He bought bait in Fisherman's wharf. When the bait are around you can use your sabiki rig to catch anchovy and smaller jack smelt for the halibut.

I was just there last week

[@BackFishing]

It's a happening place. Just gotta get your spot.

Nice video. I went for a walk there yesterday. Friendly people willing to talk and show me their catch. Thinking of taking my nephew who is showing a slight interest in fishing. I haven't fished for decades. Are the crabs and fish caught there safe to eat?

[@BackFishing]

Safe to eat? Yes. Gotta follow guidelines on consumption on seafood. It's posted online or on the pier premises.

[@kevinnguyen6951]

As nice as it is to see someone catching a halibut, let Cesar know he's way over the allowed limit for lines in the water. It's two lines per person on a pier. He's got 4 rods and 1 crab pot in the water.

[@BackFishing]

I did ask him but he didn't don't exactly know allowed lines. I think he looked at it online and adjusted later after he caught the fish. I don't think he did it deliberately as he even had a crab gauge on him to check for crabs. Good observation though. Thanks. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

I think he's good. If he was on a boat, he'd be capped at two rods. I'm not 100% sure, but the rules are different when sportfishing on a boat.

[@lahondafolk4334]

​@@whoshottdatt1973 May have saved him an expensive fine.

[@707SonomaComa]

There's alot more to this than just grabbing a bag of frozen anchovies and hitting the pier with your rod.

[@BackFishing]

You know it.
