Newbie looking for Newport Harbor halibut - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

My best tip is for your retrieve. Wind three times, let it sink back to the bottom, and repeat. Look for little ticks or jumps in the line. A lot of times that's the only bite you'll see.

keep it moving. keep it bouncing off the bottom. remember.. halibut have eyes on top of their head. if something is dragging on the bottom... he wont care for it.
