So I had a theory that, in order to catch a halibut, one needed to fish for halibut. I don't know that it is true, but these guys went halibut fishing and caught two, so maybe. They caught these on this side of Hog Island along the edge of the holes, slow trolling a white hoochy for one and a live mackerel for the other. They also came back with four Dungeness. It looks like, at least for these guys, it is finally halibut time.
One other thing that these fine gentlemen mentioned was seeing arches under the mackerel schools on the fishfinder. Hmmmmm........

At the bottom of the low, 57ºF to 59ºF. Depending, of course, on your meter's adjustments.
What type of fish would they be marking under the mackerel schools?
The hopes and dreams of many are that the fish are white sea bass or possibly stripers. My first WSB bit a live mackerel. What makes this especially interesting is that it could be almost anything.
