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!

Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.
I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

Remember this is a SOC halibut and I don't see many. This is the largest I've seen.

Shrimper & net Pangas keep our stocks down But there are more small halibut being caught than I can remember. Also fewer net boats at the moment.

Nice fish. Russ, you need to start casting and clicking at the same time. You could get those same great sunrise shots standing on the beach with a
line out as you could on your porch.

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.

Never got a 20# at BOLA but always got a few right off La Gringa in shallow water in the boat and from the beach over the sandy flats late in the
year,also in the south end of the bay around the estro,they will move in late in the day with a high tide also.

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?

I was staying at Larry and Raquels so I just walked up the beach toward the lighthouse and hooked this guy a little more than half way there after the
shoreline got a bit more sandy. The hard part was dragging the darn thing all the way back! I ended up putting him on the stringer and then dragging
him through the water all the way back to the hotel. Great morning of fishing for me and the kids.

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
