It has been a great year of fishing for me personally especially for halibut. I’m up to 12 legal halibuts and many more shorts. I’ve witnessed friends pull up legals and proudly assisted in their catch. While I was looking at fishing reports, I had an itch to fish the night before and texted Raney to see if he wanted to fish. He was on the same page as I was so off to catch some halibut. We arrived at 630am to a beautiful and sunny day at Long Beach Jetty. The conditions seemed so perfect to fish because birds were diving everywhere and you could see bait everywhere and the water was clear. We both were using the FM 120DD and throwing where the bait and birds were diving. I picked up my first fish but unfortunately it was a lizard fish. Our friend James arrives later and we let him use a rod and reel with a FM 120DD pearl white color. After about 30 minutes or so, he gets a big hook up and I net it to see a 24 inch halibut at the end of his line. We were all excited but the rest of the day, we couldn’t get any hook ups.
