Fishing Tackle Lockers
How to catch sand bass, calico bass, and halibut in Southern California?
Im going on a 3/4 day trip this Saturday out of Daveys Locker and the front office told me we would be targeting calicos,sandys, and halibut. Im not very familiar with catching these type of fish and i need help on what kind of tackle i should bring. Also is an avet SX with 20 pound test on it, and an Abu Garcia Revo Toro with 20 pound test on it good for catching these fish? thankss.
if they get to catalina: the calico’s they will try to get off the bottom and out of the kelp by chumming and they will have the back of the boat up against the kelp beds. They might (probably will) anchor off the front. It should be a light load of guys, maybe 30 or so but that’s about all. Fly line the hook and chovies (the sardines stay on better and they get bigger fish to bite them) in and amongst the kelp it’s a ten bass limit. If you want a halibut try (from the front of the boat) to cast a one ounce carolina rigged egg sinker set-up and a large sardine into the shadowed bottom up against the outside of the kelp forest or the boats shadow off to the side of and not under the boat and tap the weight on the bottom you’ll be in 26 to 45 feet of water is all. If they stay out front and work the flats a dropper loop and 4 – 6 ounces of lead might be needed in the strong currents. They will suggest what to use for what, but never fish under the boat when it’s drifting. I would use the greenest sardines non stop on the flats and gill hook them on. Be dropping the weight very slowly to get it down un wrapped up and the “dene” should still be alive. Most the time you never get iot all the way down and gill hookinig the bait you will get some violent strikes. You’ll be in 60 feet max on the flats stay away from the anchovies if you can. Lastly, don’t waste time on the blue perch. Blue perch eat sh*t and like it so don’t get caught up in that fiasco…. when ever you find your bait on the bottom lift the rod and drop the weight so it thumps, it will call any halibut on the bottom that feels the vibration you are making by thumping the weight in the sand, Even though they are lazy, they will come over and check out what’s up, hopefully find your bait is exactly what they want and voila a halibut jackpot winner.
