Got that 30" halibut in on a dead smelt, early May 2004.. I start keeping my kayaking bait for the freezer about now. Grunion work too, and can be easier to catch :lol: by the handful. Marine is a good area, look for areas of current along the beach at high tide that will clear out the debris to allow fishing the bait. Otherwise it's very tough. I fish 95% weedless plastics though...
