Sorry to be the agent of bad news again but there are no Halibut in the Southern Gulf Islands-most of which are closed to Bottomfishing in any case.
that's why there's a warranty!

There are halibut to be caught around Sidney. South of James Island on the slope of the bank that extends out from the sand cliffs sometimes produces.

Thanks for the info on the Halibut! What kind of rig do you catch them with? I'm a greenie in this area. What the hell is a halibut bar?

A Halibut spreader bar is shaped like a builder's square, about 5" x 8", with a weight attached to the short leg and a short leader with a double hook tie for the bait attached to the long leg. Mainline attaches at the corner. The other really popular rig is a large weight with a giant hootchy and hooks at the top that are often baited with octopus or whatever.

Hmmm, Sounds very similar to a bar rig but bigger. Thanks.

In the past few years some halibut have been showing up in the Campbell River area. This past winter, a buddy of mine got a 60 pounder off Bates beach (about 2-3 miles north of the ferry slip at Comox). he was trolling deep about 200' for winter springs.
Halibut in the strait are almost unheard of, but there are more and more hali's showing up in unusual locations in the past few years. Sine they have a tremendous migratory range, we may start seeing a few more of them.

BobW is quite right. There have been several good Halibut caught near Campbell River (The Hump area) the past couple of years and a couple over 100 lbs. There are a few of the local boys specifically targetting them nowadays with some success.
Stocks seem to be in decent shape and recovering in some areas from what I read and hear.
Take care.
