It's time for your soulmate to catch a keeper on video Rodney Marquez

[@devinelmore4210]

Rodney Marquez hey Rodney! I'm heading down to San Diego tomorrow for a week and am trying to find some good spots to catch fish (fresh or saltwater) if you could give me some good spots or tips that would be much appreciated! Tight lines!

[@randycantu5539]

Rodney Marquez Keep these videos coming! I love the tutorials along with your (and Melissa's) great attitude. Thank you!

[@carterrawson9848]

Rodney Marquez where is this spot

[@kenndyvelasquez7703]

hey wich place are u ???? nicee video bro .i wanna go there too

[@jimbeauxjimenez1850]

Berkley Gulp are popular here in Texas for halibut's cousin, the flounder. I like your rigging technique. Gonna try that. Thx for sharing Rodney and Ms Melissa

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Yodaddi Jim Thanks! I wish you luck ! fish on brotha

[@paulzoch3279]

The California Halibut is actually a member of the flounder family.

[@PiperFishing]

Yo Rodney, this technique works really well with a paddle tail swimbait as well. I was killin flattys the other day with a 3' bighammer on this rig.

[@johnavogel]

Thanks for the videos. I had a bunch of those grubs that you used on drop shot in another video. Decided to try it out down here in Enseanda, Baja California. Caught a 4.5 pound Halibut. Sadly my biggest to date fishing the bay down here. Thanks for that tip man. You should also try using a big hammer jig head in 3/8 chartreuse and a keitech fat impact 3.3 in electric shad or electric blue gill. Works great. I catch 20-30 spotties every time out and 1-3 halibuts using that method. If you ever want to come down to Mexico, let me know. We are 70 miles south of San Diego and have an awesome little bay here called Estero. Tons of spotties and hali's.

[@omarmiguelromocasillas9468]

John Vogel Hey Joe I would like to join you, I'm in Tijuana, I usually go to cuyamaka lake for some trout, but I would like to see your techniks for hallibout. cheers!!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

John Vogel hey John, thanks for the invite . I will have to join you some day ! I heard the fishing and scene down there is one of a kind:)

[@johnavogel]

Omar busca el "club de pesca deportiva pura vida" en el facebook. Alli todos estamos con capturas y tips para pescar en el Estero. Hasta hay muy buenos capitanes baratos alli que puedes apredner mucho de. Asi es como yo aprendio. Hector (Roberto Garcia) que es el encargado de esa pagina es el maestro del Estero. Lo mejor que hay en este parte. Es compa y me ha ensenado mucho por estes partes. Tambien muchos alli juntamos para irnos a pescar juntos y hasta torneos. Me puedes buscar por alli en eso foro.

[@johnavogel]

Yeah bro, come on down when you are ready. I sent you a PM so you should have my contact in there. I will send you another one right now with my personal email.

[@Diddythaking]

Is there halibut In San Felipe waters

[@1lenzter]

I hope I run into you fishing someday! Thanks for your awesome videos!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Thank you Lenny! if you see a guy with a red bass pro shops hat, most likely meeee haha

[@HodgePodgeGarage]

I use gulp all the time on flounder in the Galveston Texas area. I use number 3-4 circle hooks.

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

I should try that

[@TonyPablo]

Hey Rodney!! nice catch, your Halibut and your girl of course!! This is TonyP, Mikes uncle.

[@catohostilius1221]

I caught a huge shovel nose in that spot and buddy of mine caught his hailbut there as well. Nice video!

[@SeaDragonAngler]

cool looking spot, never fished there.....

[@catohostilius1221]

Sea Dragon Angler If you have access to that spot, it's real nice to fish just make sure you stay within the boundaries or else the people who work there will be on you. Happened to me first time I fished that area.

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Cato Hostilius right on :D

[@chrisconstantino520]

great catch and release. going to try that set up off the shelter island pier in July

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Good luck!

[@ronevans1229]

Awesome video bro. I just went to Paradise Pier in Marin County on a scouting mission and saw a guy using similar technique to nail halibut after halibut. So I googled to get more information on technique etc. and came across this video. I plan on getting out there tomorrow to try it out with the gulp mullet. Will keep you posted how I do. Thanks for the most informative video. Kudos!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Thanks man! really appreciate the positive vibes :] I hope you land your halibut!

Sooner or later we will see everyone who fishes on KZbin, It's starting to fell like a smaller place all the time.

[@aleclopez-rodriguez4532]

where in SD are you fishing for these halibut? I'm always in Mission Bay, but don't think they're there for some reason

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Alec Lopez-Rodriguez where in mission bay are you fishing? if you go to dog beach or the mouth of the Jerry. gets some good chances of hitting halibut

[@aleclopez-rodriguez4532]

I'm usually closer near Quivira Basin by Red Marlin and in like Kitten Cove. Will to drop shot method work on the San Diego river well since it isn't really deep? I might go past the fence tomorrow up the jetty more. Thanks for replying, I'm gonna try the white mullet tomorrow.

[@PatriotCoinRings]

+Rodney Marquez what location did you catch the guy from? I'm in So Cal and know we have a lot of halibut out here but haven't found a good spot from shore. :) Nice vid

[@kirkwesterveltoutdoors]

Just found you....excellent vidoes. Well done, great camera and editing work.

Hello, what area do you fish? Is it military property? Or civilians can use the area you are in?

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Some places I fish is on military property and you need official ID

[@TheColonialKickass]

I'm bringing this technique to nor-cal.

[@gains7207]

Calfornia halibut look EXACTLY like a big Summer Flounder(fluke) like i cant even make out a difference other than size

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Ron Revolution they really look the same to me too ! Thanks for watching yo!

[@prolific5627]

Well California halibut grow slower than you’re summer flounder or fluke. That slight difference is what really separates our species, but other than that they look exactly the same lol

No hate or anything but those are called flounder. Halibut live in very cold water

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

thanks!

[@gerbervelasquez755]

cool video thumbs up.

[@everettbriggs2559]

What size hook do you ude

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

size 1 straight worm hook

[@honestpokerjones7208]

This will work for the smaller butts however if you hit a sizeable one it will destroy that weak hook and or snap off that rig. I notice you call a 23 incher huge when its just a inch over legal. Huge is 30-40lbs not 23 inches.

[@fuckinscopesalot]

Yoo, nice catch and release bro can't say I'd do the same man . Gotta fry those buts

[@pastillafannnn]

what part of sd is that?

Its in San Diego Bay

Thank you black jesus :D

[@arteohesdub5100]

When putting lure on line do you do the loop tie or just a regular knot on actual line? And also does this same method work for deep sea fishing?

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

excellent question : I made a video tying this rig here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aILIanaleLCqbtU hope this helps

Awesome as usual Rodney. You are one of the most consistent with those legal halibut.

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Derrick Hamilton thanks Derrick! it's definitely a grind though :D

[@drrckhamilton]

You make it look easy bro

[@rorydimov405]

Nice video. I love eating halibut but that was cool to see you release that one even though it would have been legal to keep. I live in Florida and we don't have halibut here but we do have flounder. I think the same technique works for flounder too. You should try using a one ounce jig head on the bottom instead of the bank sinker and then put another Gulp swimming mullet on the jig head. Doing this gives you two hooks/baits in the water and will probably increase you hookup ratio. It is all about getting the attention of the halibut and if there is one in the area, it will likely attack one of the hooks on your rig. For more information about it check out John Skinner on KZbin, his videos have excellent content. Good luck.

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Rory Dimov dude awesome!! I'll have to make a video trying that technique! Thanks brotha , fish on :D

[@customerservice8875]

Great video because of your awesome personalities. I'm an SD native and long time halibut spear fisherman and I've seen some toads in our waters. Glad you're out there catching and releasing.

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Harbor Island is my favorite location for roaming around scenery and for fishing

[@OrangeCountySUPFISHING]

Undisputed king of the San Diego halibut!

[@bernier14]

You should use a small bucktail in the bottom instead of just the weight, that rig with the bucktail and the teaser up top is very popular on the east coast for fluke. Great video man!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

bernier 14 awesome advise , will try that technique next time I go out. fish on brotha

Is this spot on the Point Loma side by the base?

[@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984]

Fish Tacos would've been nice.

[@PapaVlogs_]

If it is lower that 6 to 10 inches does it make and difference

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

I think it helps when its in that 6-10 inches range. But I have got halibut when the weight was 2-4 inches away from the hook

[@user-se3nd1uz2j]

[@errk25]

Don't get out there as much as I used to but just about anything. Trout, catfish, bass, striper, sturgeon, shark, rockfish, salmon. Living in proximity to the San Francisco Bay Area enabled me to fish for many species. I plan on getting back out there more when retirement comes around.

[@bcarss1970]

We us these on high-low rigs drifting in NJ for fluke. Put one on spro head with skirt for bottom and another on tsunami glass minnow on the top to jig.

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

great technique for catching halibut. I actually tried that technique and made a video on it a while back : kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZatlGx-mb9jmMU

[@bcarss1970]

@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel Similar. We use 2-4 Spro. Need the weight for the drift/current. Jig head is not meant to hit the bottom. Upper glass minnow has about 6 inch lead to the drop loop.

[@ericluscombe3272]

U are lucky I'm up on Vancouver Island catch alot of halibut here but never usually above 150' and always in a boat have U ever gotten a big one from shore by big I mean over 50 pounds. Try using salmon bellies not guts just the very bottom where find are. Squid work great but my fave 2-4 pound greenling chop off head use big treble hook cast out and let it sit on bottom if u want to catch some big ones. Only advice I have if a big one bites is HANG ON

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Confi La awesome ! I'm glad it worked out for you. yes halibut gets really good at night. most of the time I like to fish on docks. Halibut like to lurk near docks, because the bait fish are hugging them

CrabberPA thanks!

[@aidanbell9967]

Pretty similar fish to the summer flounder here on the east coast. Over here we use a bucktail and teaser with some different sized gulp. Would that work for halibut too?
