Thanks

For those of you that don't anchor your boat what is your favourite way to fish for halibut.
I finally managed to catch one (just under 50lbs) using a jig but it was hard work.

pick your tides (slow ebb is best me thinks) and just drift with bait

These days the hali don't seen to stack up thick like they used to for drifting. Find a nice piece of structure on a slow ebb (At least on most parts of JDF), put down the stink and wait....
