I am still struggling to catch my very first Halibut of this year. So I calculated the best time to go which is right after the grunion runs on low tide early morning.

As it got closer to the correct time zone, I was on the jetty side using the FM110 aiming the surface area. Unfortunately I got no bites so I changed my strategy to aiming the bottom area with the FM120DD! I made dramatic lure actions so that the Halibuts will have more recognition of the lure! And then I finally got my first bite!! I slowly retrieved, but at that time it was extremely low tide and made it even harder for me to capture it. I continued to try pulling… but right then!! The Halibut jumped and escaped in between the rocks. I couldn’t take a picture of my first caught Halibut! I have no proof!! How disappointing…

I would like to show a picture of my first Halibut of this year next time around. I’m so sorry for disappointing all of you! But the FM120DDmight be a good lure for this year!!
