“A New Fishing Spot”

This week I went to a new Halibut fishing spot. When going Halibut fishing, I usually would go to the Long Beach Jetty, but this time I went to the other side where I had in mind for awhile – the Seal Beach Jetty. I got some information about this place that the water stream at the tip of the jetty and towards the beach side (shoal) is the best fishing spot. The basics in trying to get a better chance catching fish at a new location are to continuously and effectively cast and to keep your retrieving speed constant at a certain spot and repeating that action! It is also good to change your depth range from surface, middle area, to the bottom. As for me, I first used the FM110 to explore the surface, then the PT100 for the middle area, and finally for the bottom surface I used our newly released FM120DD & PT100DD!! So with the FM120DDI used my latest technique for Halibut fishing, the bottom knocking action with slow retrieving. This action has been a major success in catching fishes! However, at a new location this bottom knocking technique becomes a huge risk because you have no idea what the bottom surface is like and what obstacles exist and there is a high chance it may get caught into something and lose your lure!! BUT!! If you want to build your fishing skills you sometimes need to be bold. And in that result, I caught one!! The Halibut was about 20in. With my very first fishing experience here, I have a better understanding of where the rocks and such obstacles are located. So next time I want to go a little further towards the tip of the jetty.
