Fishing for Halibut in Southern California (CATCH, CLEAN and COOK)

Hey everyone, welcome back to the channel! We had a great weather window in between storms here in Southern California so we took the boat out to check on the local fishing. We drifted live sardines anywhere from 45-125ft of water in search of the elusive California Halibut.

    I use to do a lot of trolling for halibut out of Port San Luis . We fished commercial . Our best day was 18 legal halibut . We won the halibut derby 1 year . I fished on a 19 ft BW Outrage ! Some of the best fishing days I've ever had!

    You should always use a rubber halibut friendly net. You can see how the net you are using shredded the tail on the first halibut. That can cause an infection and death. Fortunately that one was a keeper. But, never use those style nets if you think you’ll release the halibut.

    We were sure this one was a keeper. we normally shake the shorts and if its close I will grab them by the tail.

    Happy Birthday, Adam! The filleting of the halibut was riveting. I would have enjoyed watching you do the whole fish. The cooked fish looks like restaurant quality, and delicious. Did you make fish broth with the bones and skin?

    Adam, I plan on fishing the area that you're at in this video soon. However, since I'm fairly new to the game and not familiar with fishing laws I'd like to ask if it's legal to be taking fish out of this area since I believe it's a marine conservation area. The fishes in this area is generally big because it's supposed to be protected. LMK thanks.

    This was well outside of any conservation areas. make sure you mark them on your gps though just to be sure it is not a cheap ticket.
