[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Hey guys :) Miss you guys! I was able to get out there and fish and film! hope you guys like the video! How to catch halibut using the Rodney Special :) Stay tuned for the next video next week! Ill be rolling out 1 video per week for 5 weeks :)

[@curbcreature4262]

Love you thank you for coming back

[@cartermcclain922]

bro stoked on the vid, in the last three weekends leading up to memorial day weekend vie fished every saturday and i have 15 halibuts in three weeks at spanish landing straits in my hobie. out of the fifteen only could keep 4. they were mostly on live bait and 2 on jerk chicken gulp

[@Edwardcruzz13]

Rodney hope all is good brother ! I've got 10lb braid and using 4lb floro is that a good combo for trout and panfish?

[@Edwardcruzz13]

Or should I use 6to8, is the sensitivity better ?

[@epochseven4197]

Rodney, I love how you're very specific on what gear you use and how you use it. That sets you apart AND above from the other fishing channels. I go jogging often at Liberty Station, but I think I'll have to head out with my tackle next time and try my luck. I rarely see people fish during low tide, and then you easily show that it's possible during those conditions.

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Thanks ! I really appreciate that. I truly enjoy sharing the fishing adventure with all you guys. Hope you have a great fishing next time out

[@ATD352]

Welcome back Rodney! As usual, I still haven’t caught my 1st halibut, however, I haven’t been fishing lately so that too goes against my odds. As I said last time on your last halibut video that I will let you know using your techniques! Thanks again Rodney, you rock!!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Hey Rodney I have been following you for a few months and have learned quite a bit. Am looking forward to using your technique to catch my first halibut, Thanks Brother 🙏

[@ExploreNaturesCatch]

That’s awesome Rodney! You got me pumped to get out to the surf! Hopefully I’ll find some halibuts down in my area. We always enjoy your videos Brotha. 🎣

My first halibuts I caught were from your older videos I watch and learn … thank you

[@angelamicay8748]

Ayeee Rodney!! Welcome back! Hope all is well. Thanks for the video. I got into fishing from watching your videos over a year ago. I’ve only caught two 19” Hali since. But still on the hunt for the keeper. Started off shore pounding and now on a Hobie. Hope to see more vidz this year.😎🤙🏽

[@abgvex]

Really cool what you showed with the drop shot! Just curious, wouldn't the weight get caught up in the rocks dragging it along the bottom like that? That's what I'm running into fishing out here.

[@calirob1982]

We need more!! I’m watching reruns😂

[@teamcamel1755]

Haven't seen you in a while, I'm glad you are back posting videos 🤙😀😁

Nice halibut. I miss guiding in Alaska but traveling and making KZbin videos isn’t half bad.

Have double drop looped with 2 different colors at Mission Bay. Pretty productive.

Loved working there . Great 4 years there helping people Get back on their feet. Now I’m at Camp Pendleton :)

[@snipergene]

Nice catch Rodney! Any preference for the curly tail grub over a fluke or paddle tail?

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Such a good question , I preferably like flukes in deeper water like 40 ft . And grubs and paddle tail on 20 ft and shallow

[@trapperballard9700]

Thanks for the cool video, I had no idea there are Halibut right there by the airport.

[@earellano126]

Great video. You are always informative and have inspired me to start fishing. Thank you man. Where was this in SD? I've been driving all over town trying to find what kind of water I like to fish best. Again, thank you for everything you do, keep it up!

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Sweet ! I’m glad this inspired you . I would try harbor island , Spanish landing and liberty station

Where in the bay were you fishing? Good to see you back.

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

Thanks :) liberty station . Good luck !

[@alanabraham3129]

Hey Rodney, great videos, I started watching them a couple of years ago when I got back into trout fishing, now I am watching your Halibut videos and loving them. Got a question, what would be a good shore halibut rod and real setup for someone on a very tight budget? I would be fishing the Oceanside/Carlsbad area. I fished 5'5" Walmart combo setup for trout, was going to try that but not sure if it would work. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated brother.

[@avi_s0ncin0]

Any advice on how to target Halibut specifically? Drop shot works amazing but I always seem to just catch Spotties and Sand Bass (not complaining tho). Most success I’ve had with halibut from shore was a 17’ inch “shaker”

[@kgarcia3625]

You're awesome Rodney

[@trevorbradley864]

Hey Rodney , what are some good spots in SD to catch halibut? I usually fish by the uss midway but I only catch bass, croakers, and sting ray over there

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

I like trying harbor island :) good luck !

[@sk8f1lm3r]

welcome back, bro! you still have that OldTown kayak?

Thank you for the simple explanation on how to catch halibut in San Diego CA. Hey where about in San Diego were you fishing at when you caught that halibut? That place looked very promising. Great video by the way 👏 love it!

This is not harbor island right? Dont see any rocks. Taking family along, preferably sand beach and this seem like it, where about is this? Thanks.

Great catch

[@natedawg0405]

Hey Rodney, was wondering what kind of polarized sunglasses you use and what lens color you think is the best for San Diego bay

Hey Rod. Great video but I had a quick question for you. I've been fishing from the shore with the same drop shot method, along with hook up baits, and a lucky craft, and i haven't had any luck all week. Ive gone to Spanish landing, liberty station, dana landing, I've been to all of the shores near there and still no luck. Any suggestions?

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

I would keep trying ! Try harbor island in between Tom hams light house and the park :)

[@jacobevans3499]

@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel I tried harbor island for the third time this morning and still no luck. Im using the same white grubs you had on in a couple of your videos, maybe I should switch it up

[@chadj9189]

Great videos and you should really make more and I been trying to catch some halibut but it’s seems like I got no luck is there any specific location in San Diego or how far from shore because I haven seen many videos but mostly they are on a kayak and they say 200 ft off shore any recommendations?

[@manyodude]

Where is that in San Diego? I’m new to the area

[@Marcomachooo]

Hey Rodney I just fished this spot, every cast I was getting snagged I could not avoid it, also i think the water level rose , do you recommend anything ?

[@natedawg0405]

Great video Rodney! Can you use a jig head hook for drop shot?

[@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel]

For sure ! However that bottom weight will catch up on unseen rocks and structure if there’s a hook on it

[@natedawg0405]

@@RodneyMarquezFishingChannel thanks for replying. But I what I meant was can you use a jig head hook for the actual hook that has the lure on it? and then 6-10 inches below it is a drop shot weight

@@Static_MK3Focus Sorry, I'm just biter and got skunked again today. Seems like all I can catch is a sun burn. Thinking about putting all my gear up for sale. I've litrally never had a day where it went off. The best i can do is catch bait at the pier.
