[font "Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"][black][size 1]Hey Jedburton. I'm looking forward to hitting the Salt with you again.
As far as the piers go, make sure you have a light rig and a med/hvy rig.
On the light rig you will put on a double drop shot with #6 bait hooks and small strips of squid. Usually a 1 or 2 oz weight at the bottom will be sufficient. 1st drop at 18 inches 2nd one at 24inches. Keep an eye on the tide.
Tide in, bait fish in. Tide going out, take out the med/heavy rod and throw some of your bait fish out for a nice Halibut.
Your Halibut rig is rather simple in concept and doesn't require you to take out a 2nd mortgage on the house to get the necessary equipment.
1. Tie a swivel on to the line.
2. Tie a 3foot leader onto that swivel.
3. insert the leader to free flow through 1 more swivel and tie the tip of the leader to a 3oz pyramid sinker.
4. Tie a new leader on to the free floating swivel making sure that it stays free moving on the previous leader.
5. Tie a hook onto the line that is tied to the swivel that is on the free floating setup. The hook should be at least #1 octopus hook or a Mustad 9174 1/0 bait hook.
Instead of Monterrey, you may want to come down a little farther south to Pebble Beach. There are some kewl species to play with there evern from the shore.
That is close to the PCH Hwy 1 which will take you down to Oxnard when you are done.
Let me know if you have anymore questions. And don't listen too much to that Tarpon Dude. He is from the East side boys. hee hee.
Actually the Tarpon4me is a good salty dog too. His species are a bit different from here but we speak Shark. That is a universal language. Thank God or I wouldn't be able to understand what he is saying sometimes.[cool][/size][/black][/font]
