Condition of the Fishing Location than Outcome

Filed under: Salt Water Fishing,The Daily Flash Minnow — admin @ 5:52 pm November 9, 2011

I came to Bolsa Chica again for this week’s fishing report. Unfortunately when I got there, the best Halibut fishing spot was taken already…

Reluctantly I started casting from the middle of the rocky area… After an hour of fishing the fisherman who got to the spot first caught his first Halibut. I was hoping they would react to my lure also. I then switched my FM110 to a PT100 which creates more detailed action. As time progressed, again the same fisherman continued to catch legal size Halibuts. But I’m sure there is a big difference in using live bait compared to hard lures. I decided to go over to there place and had them squeeze me in. But I couldn’t catch anything… Both of the fishermen next to me who were using live baits kept catching small size Halibuts. I felt like the fishes completely knew what they were dealing with.

They weren’t using Sardine as live bait, but pretty large Anchovy. And that actually was a very nice clue for next time. Next week I’m going to challenge Halibut fishing again with that lure. With the “Pointer 128”!!! I want to try again with this.

Well at least I had some great discovery. The water that day was so nice and clear I was able to observe the bottom surface, deep and shallow areas and where the rocks were located from the top of the bridge which is usually not possible to do. This gave me so much hope and imagination on where the Halibuts may be.
