Suprise! - gvanzant - 11-11-2004
My son was fishing backside Catalina in 100 feet of water. The yellows were acting up and they had landed 4 fish. He cast a flylined dine out in the prime area and got a weird pick-up and after a weird fight landed a 30 pound halibut. We all know that halibut prefer the bottom but this butt picked up that dine in about a depth of 10 feet, 90 feet from the bottom. I have seen halibut boiling on bait in the surf where the bottom depth is less than 10 feet but this incident is s first.

That is a rare occurance but can happen. I have been out to the Cat a few times in the past couple of weeks. There seems to be alot of bait boils going on near the surface.
I would have loved to see the look on his face with that big ole Butt at that depth.[cool] I pulled in an 8lb Sandy a couple weeks ago with almost the same tacktic at a similar depth.

Hi gvanzant,
Wow .... what a co-incidence! Yesterday on the 'shoe' this guy fishing along the port side caught a sheepshead that was hooked about 10 feet down. We were in about 130 foot of water!
Next thing bat rays are gonna start flyin' and buzz the boat!

Hey JR! When the batrays start flying, then we will probably be able to catch 50lb lings from the Santa Monica Pier.[pirate]ha ha
