Great info HH,

Not sure if you’re aware of the type of bait we generally use in southern <st1:State><st1

lace></st1:State>. But from what I have gathered. For live bait, live smelt is the choice of weapon and with lures people recommend the lucky craft flash minnow 110 or 130 which can be quite expensive and can cost quite a bit after you loose a few.
Would you recommend one of those break away lines for live bait fishing. Meaning hook up a breakaway line and swing as hard as I can till my arm falls off and then work the waters with the live smelt?
The biggest halibut that have been reported on the boards have been 40 inches that have been caught from the surf but that’s not to say that maybe others have caught bigger but have not reported. Do you think halibuts in that size range are further out in the surf? I have a curiosity to see, but lack the experience to try.
My thinking is that when they aint biting near the surf then they’re probably in deeper water and if that is correct. This long distant pendulum casting/surf fishing will just be the key to catch the but bigger then 40’
