I also met another guy from this forum (forgot his name) I think he said he got a couple Halibuts.

Hey Steve... It's Bret, I would never forget your name, lol. I caught 1 Hali... but it was only 14" but fun. I really started getting bit at the Dover St. corner, bit off at least 4 times using a chartreuse 3" swimbait (what I landed the Hali on) and a couple times with a carolina rigged new penny gulp shrimp. A small cuda nearly jumped in my yak as I was pulling my bait out of the water (broke off again). I will not be using 4lb test again any time soon...

All in all it was frustrating, exciting, fun, windy, beautiful and the only place I needed to be that day... except for church (I'll pray for forgiveness).

Sorry I didn't see you out there Kevin, P.M. me next time you head out, same goes for you Steve, that way I'll have someone to tow me back in after battling that current.
