2807, Halibut from the shore...?
Posted by , Mon Jul-30-01 08:18 AM
Will be up in the Santa Barbara area next week and was looking for advice on rigging for Halibut from the shore. I usually do allot of Corbina and Perch fishing on light tackle and was thinking about rigging more for larger fish.. Halibut/Sharks. I currently use a GL 8' rod and medium casting reel with 8lb line, 4lb flouro leaders. I have another rod, GL 8'6" heavier and could rig it with 15-20lb or so. Good approach? Other ideas? Terminal tackle for halibut from the surf? I'm not looking to toss 5oz. of lead and half a mackerel, just to vary the otherwise good perch fishing. Ideas? Thanks - Paul
