Tomales Bay, 3-10

I'm assuming this is for Hali's? I'd be up for that, I could get some bait from Keith's.

Right on Ben! If you would, grab some for me too. I'll bring my live well.

Hey Ben, Can you get me some also? 

Thanks,

Kiel

Awesome! I want to catch my first halibut. Ill see you guys out there around 9am.

There is a huge tide that day.  Should have lots of movement and hopefully lots of
flaties.  I'll be there. 

just got my hog trough in the mail today. I'll see he has a dozen shiners, more than that they'll die. I have a cast net, anywhere I can cast for smelt?

maybe bring the sabiki and you might be able to get some

Good luck fellas
I wish I could join you guys but I'll be out of town
You never know what you might catch, I'm looking foward to a report

Sunday is my birthday, and I am desperately trying to get "permission". Never got a halibut before. Can we drop crab pots in the same area?

Dude, it's your birthday. TELL her you're going! Hehe.

I plan on just dropping one pot for the hell of it.

Also, others have, but I've never caught anything in Tomales from my yak but baitfish and bat rays.

I am dropping a couple cage! 


Kiel

i'll bring a couple of pots.

Damn my wife is racing this weekend or I would be all over this trip.

Good luck guys can't wait to hear how it went.

Dustin,

I took your advice! See you guys there! Any tips on what kind of stuff I should bring? Or should I just Google "halibut rig"... I know some simple rigs but maybe there's a secret weapon.

Justin

I just use a three way rig for live bait and a Carolina rig for frozen bait.

Keep in mind you can use more than one rod in Tomales, so you can bring a few different set-ups.

If you want to catch bait you can try to use a sabiki. I've caught mackerel, smelt, sardines, and herring in Tomales....but there's been times where I've wasted my whole day trying to jig up bait.
