halibut uv grubs and hootchies

[jjmoffett]

does any one know of any on line tackle shops that carry delta tackle's uv grubs or hootchies for halibut? and more importatnly has any one used those with any success? if so what colours? hoping to slay some hali's this july and wondering if they might be the ticket!

Another option is the UV spray. Island Outfitters carried that last year. I've used it, but I'm a shorecaster & felt there'd be no advantage for me as I can't get deep enough for it to make a difference.

Where are you fishing? Most hali will grab anything that you put in front of them, but some days colour helps a bit, but I usually just go wtih a standard white grub.

last chance we are going to be fishing out of winter harbour the 20-25 of july. i have never been up there before so it will be very interesting. relatively new to bottom fishing as well. going to give it an honest try this year! at least thats the plan anyways.

Should be a blast, don't forget if the halis are real hot and heavy, 6" spoons off a spreader work very well.

Winter harbour is great, I go the first or second week of July every year. There is no need for special hali gear there, we use 8oz needlefish jigs on our salmon rods at 200' deep off Grants Bay 15-25lb halis all day long and we catch quite a few 30+ springs and lings at the same place at the same time.

What SmokerCraft said is correct!
Me... I would just fish an anchovy on bottom off one downrigger and somewhere between 60 -90 feet on the other off Grant! Best of both worlds.

If you fish shallow offshore this year, you are going to catch a "lot" of pinks!

charlie im not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing!

If you like smoked fish, it could be a good thing!
