Punta Chivato shore caught Halibut

My friend Dave has been throwing lures almost every morning for a few weeks now and has been getting a few small corvina and a few small halibut. This morning he goes out a half hour earlier than normal, first light and gets pounded. He shows up while I'm on my first cup of coffee and I see a halibut tail sticking out of the 5 gallon bucket in his quad. 30" of fine eating!

Thanks -- nice to see folk's "wetting" a line

They are definitely out there in the SOC. I was in LA Bay over Thanksgiving week and caught several chucking lures from the beach including my monster which was taken on Thanksgiving morning right near shore in about 2 feet of water and easily went over 20lbs. It was as big as my 4 yr old son! If I could figure out how to easily post pics on here I would put one up as proof. The tacos from that thing were awesome.

OK, lets try this one more time.




I put my kids in the one pic to give it some scale.

Bugman,

That is one slob fish! My son and I used to join the local crowd at the Villa Vita ramp and catch them for dinner, but that was years ago and I never saw one that big.

This was his first flattie. He was even more excited about shining his flash light through the fish after I filleted it.



Were you north of town?

Thanks Russ for posting my catch. I was beyond excited, and as long as that feeling thrives I will fling my line into the beautiful Punta Chivato sunrises. To see the sunrise is one thing, but to fish at the same time is tops. Oh yes, my shorts are loud, but what about that tacky Republican sweatshirt. If I would have known I was going to get graded on my dresssing, I would have ran to the casita and got my Oregon Duck or San Fran Giants gear on

25baja, That's Dave's 400. I had an '06 500 then an '08 Ranger 700XP and now a '12 Ranger 800XP. Now if Dave will show me how to fish I'll come back with the bacon
