Top Bait Strategy 1. Use Brite Bite halibut leaders or FAT Squids combined with your favorite bait. The combination of the upside down glow skirt or lifelike squids with bait drives halibut crazy! Remember to check your bait often & add scent to attract more halibut! Chum on your line or downrigger too.
2. Attach a chum bag to your downrigger and lower to within 8 feet off bottom. This sends a massive scent trail down current to attract more halibut when anchoring. Subscribe to my YouTube Channel @ YouTube.com/jbeath Sign up for halibut.net newsletter at www.halibut.net |
