SF bay and area newbie... getting the equipment lined up....

I joined a while back but have just kayaked the bay, no fishing. Now I'm gearing up with eventual goal of being comfortable enough to snag some halibut.

I've only caught halibut on a charter boat before. I've seen videos of people catching halibut in sf Bay from Hobie island like Halibu77.

I have a Hobie tandem island. I just got a fish finder so plan on scouting some areas w/o actually fishing to get sense of effort to get to/from locations and hopefully see and learn some kayak fishing in the bay.

I'm based near Richmond marina and have made it to Angel Island, Treasure Island from Richmond (sail+pedal power).

I've put in at Alameda before but only did a small tour of the estuary.

Hope to see you out on the water! If there are any halibut hunters that wouldn't mind a spectator please let me know.

I don't know necessarily have anything against other fish, I just know that halibut is great eating.

Good luck on the Halibut hunt.  They are good eating. 

Welcome! 

Welcome, the big hali's have been at South Hampton Shoals and today Paradise pier went off for the pier fisherman.

Welcome to the madness. Fellow AI owner and halibut hunter here, although I fish mostly in and around Santa Cruz.
