Good timing man, hali season right around the corner 🤙🏼

[@XxOmargee1Xx]

Good rig for the piers too , halibut and bass 🔥

[@halibutman3208]

Definitely one of my live bait ways to hook a hali

[@andrewvillanueva3722]

In san Francisco Bay the 3 way swivel has been used for decades for halibut, stripe bass and rock fishing.

[@brianrodden5776]

Great info

[@hogsquadfishing]

Thank you

[@pernamore4224]

Spreader bar > than 3 way swivel imo, zero line twists, etc. Thank you for the tips.

[@ac3beats67]

I catch them more on carolina rigs then the 3 way swivel

[@RustyReels]

Nice vid!

[@hogsquadfishing]

Thank you rusty

[@gabrielM1111]

1-2 oz bucktail tipping with a 5" gulp grub, a teaser hook 2' above on a loop with 5" gulp of your choice

[@ulyssesmendoza989]

Any recommendations for fishing at emerald bay? Going for a week and want to get some fishing in ?

[@scruffy7443]

Three best ways: live baits , plastics, and the Lucky Craft lure type......

[@marcoj458]

I love the tackle break down I needed THIS!

[@hogsquadfishing]

Thank you

[@user-jc4yv7eg7c]

I didn’t hear what size or type of hook used.

[@losthorizonfishing107]

Great video! Are you using a circle hook or J-Hook with the three way swivel rig?🎣😃

[@hogsquadfishing]

I only use jhooks for this rig if I’m gonna use a snell knot

[@meredithkliem189]

Epic

[@hogsquadfishing]

Thank you

[@fassyfassy]

Most your halibut is small fish thanks for the info

[@sab35263]

Hello, what size three way swivels did you use?

[@hogsquadfishing]

100lb

[@anthonybone6736]

Is this 3way swivel works on pier or shore fishing???

[@hogsquadfishing]

Yes it can work

[@user-jc4yv7eg7c]

Using a 3 way swivel is called drop shot? I heard drop shot mentioned that’s why I’m asking.

[@hogsquadfishing]

No they are two separate rigs

[@gabepettinicchio7454]

What did you mean by " go where the tides going?'' Thank you, sir!

[@hogsquadfishing]

If it's a high tide they will be pushed up closer to the beach low tide a bit farther away.

[@user-hk3et4zo2l]

Where do you buy live bait for halibut?

[@hogsquadfishing]

Nachos

[@cali_cal]

Nicee

[@hogsquadfishing]

Thank you

[@freetrailer4poor]

Wow that sure looked legal by 2 inches to me.

[@kylayy708]

Do you sell hats ? I didn’t see it on your website ????

[@hogsquadfishing]

Soon will be for sale

[@ivans6.2ss20]

Where can I ctach lincods & yellowtail bro?

[@hogsquadfishing]

Videos coming on that this summer

[@rosythebigragu2486]

Did i miss the part where you talked about BAITS TO USE?

[@hogsquadfishing]

In this video sardines

[@paulcoomes2166]

What about using a snelled top hook and a treble trap hook at the bottom? My friend uses that set up and catches a lot of big halibut. Hooking the troubled trap in top of spine close to tail, tying the treble onto an 8” tag below the Snell?

[@hogsquadfishing]

I used to use them but sometimes it ended up gut hooking and killing short halibut so I stoped.

[@entername5706]

The secret is having a ✨boat✨

[@1surfpesca_]

Fucking literally… meanwhile most of us who are pressed for fishing time have to fight over when and where to shore pound, go to piers all on the same days (the weekends), kayak fish limited ways and spaces (unless you have fancy pedal drive or motor) Not hating on boat guys by anymeans but man it really is a luxury… even boat club members… I mean cmon it’s a good deal but I can barely get out on a boat as it is like most people and I can’t afford a monthly subscription like that. And sport boats are cool and put you on fish but I’m sorry I’d rather not fish with 15-20 people sardine canned next to me, same with public piers on certain days. I mean man I wish things were different but life is life 😅❤

[@user-lb9pp1py7n]

Best comment hahaha

[@user-lb9pp1py7n]

And I thought it was the lucky craft and battlestar lol

[@alejandrocota5949]

I use rubber core 2 knots less

[@michaelpena5206]

how long is ur rod?

[@hogsquadfishing]

Which one

[@michaelpena5206]

Ur 15-40 lbs rod

[@Yasssssxxsssssssfish]

I caught a perfect halibut but at the side of the boat, it got away

[@hogsquadfishing]

It happens sometimes

[@evangraves8596]

Not bad but not good. What knot's did you use? What size hook? What bait? ... Good job on how to locate the fish but the rig up ? How do I do that?. Tbh I know how but your viewers don't.

[@ronj9003]

three way swivels are a bad choice.. too many knots

[@drrckhamilton]

No, this is not true. Not saying that it is the best but this is one of THE best ways for So Cal halibut fishing.

[@ultimatejay]

One knot is for the sinker which if you break off doesn’t matter. I use lighter line one the sinker so if I get snagged it can easily break off and save the rest of my rig.
