Not as bad as netting a Halibut and releasing it

I am not fishing for planted rainbow trout here. They will be fine....

Very delicious way to cook any filets. Its a nice fresh fish.

Pls tell me where this is

@@Guyguyreal coyote point I think

Naw, San Mateo Bridge.

I’m down to fish with you bro. I’m near by. Keep up the good content. Nice to see the locals!

Where is this exactly? 🙏

Maybe cause I don't post that often 😂

White swim baits and hard plastic jerk baits. Calissas and lucky craft surf pointers.

San Mateo County

Naw , on the peninsula.

Halibut is around in San Mateo County Bay shorelines from around March-June. These are the times when they are closest to the shore then move back out to deeper water after. Tide is always a factor but I catch them at all tides. Depends on the spot. Low tide you can keep your eyes out for the big bubbles they create when they snatch their food off the bottom. Always look out for bubbles and jumping halibut when they are close to shore.

@@TheBayAreaPlug Hi: Many Thanks!! I greatly appreciate your comments. I'll try to get out there soon; when we get a few nice weather days. I enjoyed all your Bay Area shore fishing videos with informative commentary. My dad and I used to fish those west bay Millbrae to San Mateo areas (for perch and stripes, don't think halibut were there) way back in the mid 1950's.

Yeeeee 🫳

You won’t get the info bro some KZfaqrs think they are Elon musk they don’t want ppl around them. Instead of letting ppl know so they can go outdoors they want to “hide” the spot lol just try Berkeley marina area

I mean yes and no. Treble hooks are nice but can get a little hairy sometimes. Not only for the fish but for your own hand. I have been hooked by shakers really really bad before. I literally have treble hooks PTSD because of it. I had to go to the E.R. for that one. There is nothing like throwing on a white swimbait and just grabbing the fish by the mouth and popping em right off. The stripers inhale white swim baits. I just like the action of the hard plastics.

And I can usually cast my hard plastics further

@@TheBayAreaPlug Is this a recent video? What months are best there?

​@@ronmodafferi8202 No I recorded this in Fall 2021. Just did not get around to finishing the edit till now. Striped bass swim out of the river inlets and deltas and run through the bay area and out to the ocean twice a year. Once for the Spring Run, usually starting around March in places close to the river inlets. Then they do this again in the Fall.

@@TheBayAreaPlug Thanks!! Does the spot in following video look good? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fK-Ef9iKrbq4l2Q.html

Hahaha I know right.... This was actually recorded on a day in Fall 2021. I've been sitting on this shit for a minute 🤣

I know bro. This was recorded all the way in November 2021. I got so many hobbies and video editing just takes so much time lol

Strippers and Halibut? Downtown SF. Maybe Broadway.

I know I know. Sorry, I have my hard drives in my storage unit. They have everything I have been working on.

@@TheBayAreaPlug 💯

San Mateo County. Sorry can't spot burn anymore than the videos do already. People are already mad enough that I post these videos. Lol. There is enough around in that video to figure it out.

Because the proper way is to knock it out first. So the cut to the gills is painless. I promise I wasn't just being cruel. Lol The knockout is purely to save the fish from the pain of death. The blow to the head knocks them out instantly.

Also sidenote.. you must cut the gills immediately after knocking them on the head because if the fish dies before you cut the gills the blood flow can become stagnant and not flow out of the body properly.

The same thing goes for striper. Just the most humane way to kill a fish for food.

No. Lol

@@TheBayAreaPlug try that spot. I used to catch the biggest ones there.
