• SF Bay Halibut fishing...
Great idea with the slider, will try for sure, thanks
Have fun! Good luck fishing
magic thread for that single hook, who would have thought.!!! I need that as after I drink a beer or two I seem to forget about Moomoo's snell not for some reason!!!
Lol. I somehow fall in love with the magic thread. I stop doing Snell knot after using magic thread. It also keep your bait on the hooks for second chance bite.
Excellent video bro!!! What size magic thread do you use? .3 .1 or .15?
Thanks for watching. I am not sure. The thin one work better. I can do so many things withagic thread. Tie baits, replace smell knot for siding hook...
Very nice video...thanks 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Danny.

Dùng lưỡi thường. Lưỡi dưới em có thể dùng lưỡi nhỏ cho mồi nhỏ và lưỡi luôn cho mồi lớn.
Subscribed! I really like your videos and the way you explain things. Thank you!
Thank you so much for supporting my channel. It means a lot to me. I am glad you found the video useful. Please continue to support and let me know what you want to see. Stay safe.
Nice instructional video, Brother. BTW, I tried soaking the fish in rice water yesterday for a dish prepared for dinner per your recommendation. You are correct! The fishy smell was gone. Thank you, Brother. 👍🏽🙏🎣⚒️
I learned it from a Korean TH-camr. I am glad you tried it.
@@Fishing247 Yes. Works!!! Lot less than buying milk. 😀🐟✌
Great videos...However the back ground music is distracting. You do not need it. We have tune in to listen to you.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I will try to correct it when editing. Ni know my English is not good and if background music is loud, it will be difficult to hear me. I really appreciate your honest comment because you help me to make video netter. Thanks. Stay safe and good luck with fishing. brother.
I think your English is excellent. I am 62 year old and my hearing is poor, so back ground noise makes it hard to understand. However I think k your doing an excellent job on the videos. I have a channel, and good videos are not easy. Thanks see you out fishing
Thank you Sir.
Cái cần kéo công vút a heg. Zoom bằng đt hay sao hơi giật a à.
Anh quay bằng điện thoại em.
Thanks for sharing your set up... I learned a lot! and subbed!
Thanks for watching and supporting me.
You’re talking about California Halibut, right…. They only ever get up to 60 pounds and are usually half that. As opposed to pacific halibut which get up over 300 pounds but are usually between 30 and 100 pounds….
Yes. We do not catch pacific halibuts in the San Francisco Bay areas. The biggest California halibut I caught was 25 pounfs. Thanks for watching.
Wow~~
Very interesting!^^
Good idea~
Magic hand!^^
You are a specialist!^^
Very nice video!^^
Thank you very much for wonderful video!^^
Please take care of yourself and
Your family!^^❤️
Thanks Babsi.
Hey Thuy
Great video, can’t wait to know what the secret bait!! I used to have the problem when using spinner spoon tangling my line, I corrected it with using 6 balls chain swivels what is used for salmon and that corrected my tangling problem. I love the Hoochie trailer I was always wonder how they kept it in one place. Going to start using that too!!! Thanks for you sharing your knowledge, hope you and your family are safe & healthy. Tight line my friend!!!🎣🎣🎣🎣
Thanks for watching and supporting me Daniel. I hope you and your family are well and safe. Take care of yourself brother and when this thing is over. I will take a whole week off going fishing with you. 😀
I forgot to tell you that the secret bait is fresh squids. You need to troll with big flasher so the squid can swing side to side.

Can’t wait to try it once they lift the shelter in place & open up oyster pt
Great video. Only difference I would make is not tying overhand knots in the leader to keep the hoochie in place. An overhand knot reduces the strength of the line by 50 percent. I would use a swivel to keep the hoochie in place. I use the slider too. Never thought of using an in-line hoochie while drifting. I do use one when trolling.
Hello Craig. Thanks for your comments. You are absolutely right about reducing the strength of the leader 50% when tie the overhand knots. I have played with knots for 30 years and understand. I used to do a swivel for the hoochie, but because I use 40 pound leader and tested it several times and the hooks usually broken before the leader. Stay safe and tight line.
I use a very small split shot with the bead.

I really appreciate for your support. Stay safe.
Fishing 247 you bet! Feel free to check out my channel if you care to.
Thank you, Thuy! I want to try bay and or ocean fishing and love your tutorials! Would love to join you out there sometime for halibut. I'm in Sacramento and have only fished the river and upper lakes
Ocean is much more fun Bay is good too. We can buddy up.
@Fishing 247 that would awesome! I'll try sending you another message when Spring time rolls around!
Yeah that some people who uses 3 feet leader is ME 😂🤣
3 feet leader catch more fish than 5 feet. 🤣. I can't copy the master to do 3 ft leader. Moo's 3 ft leader is copyright. 🤣🤣🤣
@@Fishing247 😂🤣 you are too funny. I'm just too lazy to add flashers and hoochies 😉
I have a lamiglas X11 9’6” 15-30lb 1-6 oz it’s considered a Salmon troll rod based on everything I understood from you video I feel it would be adequate for trolling only the San Francisco Bay for Halibut, Salmon & Striper. Any thoughts??
Cái này mình xài dây braid line 40lb dc ko anh ? E câu ở dưới chân cầu golden gate
OK em. Tùy theo câu cá gì. 40 đến 60 pound là được rồi.
@@Fishing247 halibut đó a
@@pegatron6599 40 pound is good.
Thank you for sharing. One suggestion is to be aware of the background when filming. Audio was a bit difficult to hear.
I really appreciate you for the honest suggestions. I need to hear them so I can improve the quality of the videos. I know that I have strong accents and it is difficult to hear most of the time. No will be more careful with the background next time when I record. Please continue to support me. Thanks.
awesome learning video, Some great content here, Keep it up Ill be watching the videos!
Thanks brother for watching. Stay safe and tight line.
E lỡ mua cái cần đọt hơi cứng ( lure weight 3-5 oz ) thì có ảnh hưởng j đến câu cá halibut ko a. Vì e dùng cần này để câu trong bờ trên sacramento River nên cần hơi cứng
Cần câu có đầu mềm dễ dính cá halibuts hơn. Nếu không có thì cũng được nhưng có thì tốt hơn.
@@Fishing247 cám ơn a nhiều
@@pegatron6599 em không cần mua cần câu tốt đâu. Mua cần ugly stik 7' light là được rồi dưới 50 đô là câu tốt rồi. Mua thêm một cái spinning reel 4000 hoặc 5000 là OK. Anh có Penn fierce 3 4000 anh cho em. Em chỉ cần mua cần thôi.
@@Fishing247 dạ e lỡ mua rồi a . E mua 2 con daiwa surf rod + daiwa mq saltist 10000k, 5000k lỡ mua xài câu cá striper trên này rồi mà giờ mua cần khác lại phí a ạ
What are the best months for Halibut fishing? Thank you
it will start in March and you will have more luck of trolling in the early months untill you find live baits. I always love to troll than drift. April to August will be good time for halibuts.
Size reel là size mấy vậy a ? E Sài daiwa BG MQ 5000 max drag 26 lb có đủ ko a . E xài cần 9 ft team daiwa .
5000 được rồi. Chỉ cần 6 to 10 pound drag cho halibut.
7 to 9 ft rod is good. Light action works better for halibuts.
@@Fishing247 mùa này thì câu halibut dưới chân cầu golden gate có nhiều ko a a có thể chỉ cho vài chỗ câu pier dc ko . E ơ sacramento xuống câu tuần sau trên này nóng quá . E mới câu lần đầu mong a chỉ giáo
What size pole do you have? What size pole should I use off pier at tiburón for Halibut?
Most of my rod is 7feet medium or medium light action. I like a sensitive tip for my rod when fishing for halibuts. You can catch more halibuts with sensitive rod tip. If you fish from shore, you my need longer kid for casting further out, from 9 to 12 ft medium action. I hope to answer your question. Thanks for watching. Stay safe.
@@Fishing247 thank you. So from pier I should get me 7’?
7ft will be good enough. It is just personal preferences. Good luck because fishing need lots of luck too. Stay safe.
nice
Thanks for watching.
Thank you for offering to share your fishing knowledge. On your setup, I think it is critical to know the size of the red bead and the Hoochie. What is the red bead size? What length or Hoochie size? You mention that the hole on the red bead should be small, what size? I know the hole should be small enough for the double over-hand knot not to slip. I saw on-line a 8mm red bead with a 1mm hole? I check your postings, should you have already answered the questions, before I ask. Hope I haven't missed any. Looking forward for your next video!
I bought the bead at the tackle store and did not pay attention to the hole. It has to be small. You can use a swivel as a stoper of you do not have bead. I usually use 3 or 4" hoochie, mostly 3". I use 4" hoochie with a treble hook for ling cod sometimes. Hook up with my on Facebook so it is easier to communicate with you because some time I do not check the comments regularly.
Heloo...like aceh...
What is the MAGIC THREAD and where do you buy it. Ingenious method for attaching sliding nose hook! What is the Pound Test of your leader line? Thank you for sharing your knowledge on the game.
Thanks for watching. The magic thread is a bubbery thread. It can keep your baits on the hook very well. I purchased it at the local tackle shop in San Jose. I usually use 30 pound mono leader for most of my ocean bottom fishing and in the Bay. Please let me know if you have any questions about fishing. Fishing is my passion and I have never been shy of sharing my knowledge about fishing. Please share my videos if you find them useful. Stay safe and tight line.
Great tips buddy, I like your sliding weight tip and using magic thread to tie the hook 👍. Thank you for sharing your vast fishing knowledge. By the way, I think I saw in one of Moo’s video that you are modifying your kayak to be able to pedal, how is that project coming along ? Stay safe and healthy.
Nice to hear from you Carlos. I know that I do not have fishing videos for you. As soon as the shelter in place bid lifted, I will go fish ASAP. YES, I did finish my special kayak, but could not test it do to the Covid 29. You know what! I will treat you by testing it in my fishing pound of it fit in it. It is pretty cool and I hope the Pedal drive will work for this kayaks. Stay safe and stay healthy Carlos.
Thank you for the amazing guidance. Do you know how to avoid the weight line and main line from tangling when trolling? I used 3 way swivel and pyramid weight.
Thanks for watching. One easy way to avoid tangling is to start trolling before lowering your set up down. Check your baits once in awhile. If you are experience enough you will recognize it when your leader and weight line tangled or caught with debris by looking at the rod tip actions. Good look fishing and stay safe.
Do the fish ever bite the hoochie instead of the bait?
Thanks for watching. There have been a few times that Halibuts went after my hoochies. You can use hoochie and hook to catch Halibuts, rockcod and lingcods, but not as good as using baits or live baits.
Thuy I don’t know if it was you or someone else who suggested putting hook on the hoochie instead of just an attractant as he said we are allowed 3 hooks when fishing inside SF Bay. Thanks
Yes. You can rig a hook with the hoochie for better chance.
You can rig a hook with the hoochie. You are allowed to have 3 hooks in the Bay.
@@Fishing247 thank you 🙏 very much Thuy
In your past videos I noticed you launch out of Oyster Point when fishing SF Bay. Fishing for Halibut you seem to always go north toward the Rock Wall or Bay Bridge. Do you ever look for Halibut down toward the San Mateo bridge? If so any suggestions on what to look for?
I only went to bird cage/SFO the farthest for Halibuts. The Halibuts are hot at the ARW right now. Oyster point ramp is closed due to Covid 19. I have decided to stay home until the shelter in place is lifted. Very sad now because I have not gone fishing for almost 2 months. Stay safe and good luck with fishing.
Fishing 247 thank you 🐟
Great video - when you are trolling how fast do you go?
Thanks Robert for watching. It means a lot to me. It depends on with or against the current. If you troll against the current you can troll 1-2 mph and you troll faster with the current 2-3 mph. If there is no current, 1-2 mph is the best. Stay safe and stay healthy. Tight line brother.
What are your thoughts about using whole frozen squid for trolling in the bay?
I caught 3 huge halibuts with frozen squids last year. It works better with fresh ones. You need to have big flasher when you troll with squid so that the baits can swing side to side. Good luck. And stay safe.
Fishing 247 Thank you!! Can’t wait for your next video!! Stay Safe!
@@robertd8224 Thanks.
Can that setup handle a 25 lb+ halibut? Your theory makes complete sense but wondering if it can handle a bigger fish.
I have never caught a Halibut over 25 pounds, but I caught a 6 foot, 45 pound leopard shark with this set up. It depends on how to fight the fish. I caught 80 pound sturgeon with 25 pound line. Thanks for watching. Stay safe.
What size hook do you use for drifting halibut?
It depends on your bait size. Small anchovy 4-6 inches I use size 4 to 1/0. If I use big jacksmelts, I use size 2/0 to 5/0. Remember to use a stinger/treble hook near the tail of the baits because Halibuts most of the time take the tail if the baits. 90% I caught Halibuts on trailer tremble hook. Tight line.. Let me know if you have Any questions.
Hey bro I am going this Friday can you share the secret bait?
Hello Ricky. It is fresh squid if possible. I tested squids last year when I run out of frozen baits and caught 3 big Halibuts. 2 for 39" and 1 for 36". I usually put 2-3 squids on a hook with a stinger. You need to use a big flasher when trolling so that your squids can swing side to side. Stay safe and tight lines.
You can buy squid and other bait fish at Seafood City
You can buy frozen squids at Asian supermarket. Sometimes they have fresh squids
Hello my brother like 48+771👍
