Anyone ever fish for halibut along the beach at the Russian River?  The area looks ripe for a mix of variety, salmon, rockies,stripers, halis. Been thinking of giving it a go.

i have always wanted to fish there. i have heard that later in the year when the salmon make their move for the river and the mouth of the river sometimes closes due to lack or rain,they pile up right there and are easy pickins. seems like there oughta be halibut and dungeness there also.unfortunately there is also a large colony of seals there. that can mean serious competition and white sharks.nevertheless we'll never really know unless we try.

Jonez fished it quite a bit out of a PB never got any butts but tried hard, rockies used to be great untill the depth limits went into effect now the party and privite  boats hit it pretty hard lot of lings but most 18-20". Pretty steep beaches so be careful where you lanch I would go south a little and paddle up.

Be careful...the taxman has attacked yaks there before and now you have to worry about nibbles too.  Many safer and more productive places.
