In this episode of how to catch Halibut while surf fishing in Socal, I cover the importance of (1) Identifying structure and (2) Identifying the current to pinpoint where fish are most likely holding. Many times, Halibut and other predatory fish will stack up at the edge of holes where the current meets the drop-off, as they wait for bait fish to be pushed their way.
