Thanks for the tip Mr. Fong, the problem today was I just wasnt paying attention I guess. One of the halibut followed the Rat-L-Trap to the surface and I left it it the water for a couple of seconds and then I heard this big splash and I managed to see his little tail before he took off. The other one was about 10 feet down and was already going back down before I noticed him. Pretty cool stuff, we never used to see free swimming halibut from our old boat. Thanks also for that other tip you gave me a while back about putting another lure in the water when calicos start to follow eachother to the surface. I had a double hook up today and it was pretty fun.
Good Luck,
Tommy
