Drop shot for Halibut in Santa Barbara

Today I am using the all so familiar drop shot can turn a slow day into at least a fish or two. I like to use this technique in shallow water less than 20 ft and bait size is going to depend on the actual bite size. This day I started with a 5 inch and kept getting short bites and so switched to the 3 inch and had back to back hookups before the bite shut down on me.
Gulp Bait that I use - amzn.to/2Q6Arx1

The Rod that I use- amzn.to/2LZHola
The Line that I use- amzn.to/2HuNpSD
The Net that I use - amzn.to/2JV1E4D

SB Harbor in da house! I was fishing over at East Beach by the Volley Ball Courts the other day. Caught 3 Hali's with the lucky craft minnow, the biggest one was right at 21"...

Peeling drag brings a smile to every angler ☺ My buddy uses drop shot for butts from the bank but I have yet to try it.

[@CckfNet]

that drag ripping off is great no matter what, keeps us all coming back.

[@uglycatchfishingcrew6110]

Cool bro. What line set up are you using

[@CckfNet]

using 12lb floro but could probably go even lighter.

[@johnj1445]

What type of net you using bro? Nice Lil video!

[@CckfNet]

its a rubber net that i got off amazon, love it because the hooks cant get caught in it.

[@CrazyCaliforniaFishing]

Your video are really good I just want to tell you that you need to work on your thumbnails. But the quality is really good. I think you will make it big!

[@fivefiftyninefishing1639]

Nice catch, can’t wait to head out to the coast. 🔥🎣

[@arteohesdub5100]

How many inches apart do you set the bait from sinker? And what size hook do you use? Do the yellow gulp ones work too?

[@CckfNet]

I keep it short less than a foot from the sinker. I was using a #4 strait shank hook but would say match your bait as best as possible. I bet the yellow work killer as well. Will give them a shot next time have some in my back already might as well give them a shot.

How do you overcome the fear of sharks lol
