San Francisco Bay Halibut

Ended the day with 4 Keeper Halibut and 1 Striper. Had shakers too…

Wind picked up early, water got muddy. Came in early. Boat cleaned up and I’m prepping for fresh fish!

In Alaska, we called the little ones chickens and they are by far the best eating. The big barn doors are tough and grainy. Looks like you had excellent weather. I bet those tides can rip pretty good.

California Halibut vs Pacific Halibut.

California Halibut are a lot smaller and much more tender and delicious. Having caught and eaten plenty of both, I prefer California Halibut and then (Chickens)…
 
Looks like a day well spent. We're heading to Alaska soon for some Halibut and Salmon fishing. The weather won't be as nice, but it's unbelievably relaxing.
 
I miss halibut fishing…relaxing with moments of trying not to be pulled over the side by a fish on the bottom of the ocean….head shakes that rattle your elbows….yea man.
 
Out of interest do you not bleed flat fish? Usually a cut near the tail

When you hang around Jay, you know you’ll be on fish. Good strategy!
Jay, the rest of the fleet, and the 200 Private boats that were there in the Berkeley flats! I know you fish that boat, so I thought I’d send you a pic…

My father worked party boats and comm fished when he was a kid and in his 20’s and so did I.

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
