Three way, one ounce on the bottom, slow trolled the sandy bottoms, then across the channel to the boat channel and back and forth over the drop off. I don't know halibut fishing so I was just doing what seemed right to me. I need to get with a halibut fisherman to get some instruction on the right way to do it. I hooked the mackerel through the gill plate and it was a lively swimmer.
