A major part of Barkley Sound is deep water with a mud bottom. Halibut don't like mud and prefer sand/gravel bottom and quite often the larger fish are on rocky bottom. They move in here to eat octopus, rockfish, and cod. Big Halibut don't live on 3 inch herring. Find some sort of structure seems to work best.
