Saturdays halibut chasing 6/24

I'm looking to chase some halibut this Saturday. Thinking berkeley or ARW... Anyone headed somewhere where I can join in?

Well o got the chance to go out and a friend's pb and we slayed them. Went out to the north bar and trolled hoochies for a couple hours caught 8, 1 was questionable so it went back to grow bigger... overall a great day on the water, it was pretty calm but I'm not sure I'd want to be out there on a kayak... it would be a rough going.

Congrats, it’s supposed to be on fire out there. Maybe target it from Muir in a Kayak?

If you got the stuff, Rodeo would be the launch but only in perfect swell...never done it but certainly daydreamed about it...

Talked to a commercial guy and he said he caught 500lbs on Thursday. Everyone was hooking up about every 15 minutes. It's was really good fishing... now I just got to get out on my yak.

Launched from Rodeo one time years ago and paddled down around Point Bonita. I wouldn't do it again except on the perfect day, no wind, no swell, and small tides. Took me about 45 minutes to get to the spot, 2 hours coming back. That area sucks in South swell too, so launch and landing can be gnarly during summer S swell season.

Good to know the s swell issue... I've honestly  ever looked out there for launch spots... its a rare event that I get a chance to fish now days, even more rare that it's a fishable day (high winds or shitty tides.)

Rodeo is one of those very very rare places to attempt a launch.  Often times if you DO get out, then coming back is a whole different situation.  I've watched that beach many times and never in my life would try to launch from there. 

I think a more viable launch would be from Muir and use an AI or small outboard.  Looking about 3-3.5 miles each way.  Or maybe Fort Baker to Point Bonita.  I've done it to Black Sands Beach but never to the Point.

Holy crap I can't even imagine how much action that would be solo!

looks like weather windows closed. personally have multiple spots I would fish before making the run from muir to north bar. there are lots of halibut to be had for less effort. draw of the north bar was lots of 35-40+inch fish being caught. very good size quality. 3-3.5miles is easy doable in a pedal yak but not sure how strong currents are in that area, could get ugly.

have too much white meat in the freezer, want salmon. this past week has been killer to not have a boat, wide open salmon deep reef and offshore bodega + huge halibut bite on the bar...

I totally agree, just being out there in a pb and making such easy work makes me think about being out there on a yak, especially for the bigger fish.
