Speaking of halibut Steve try Shad wraps. I've spent the last week of june for the last two years up in Sitka AK playing around catching a million chinook, silvers and playing tug-o-war with monster halibut. We stayed on Mertz island and used there boats. One thing I really noticed is that the halibut love American Shad from the columbia river. We got into a couple of spots where there were guides that were hooking up much and they were using the regular herring, squid and jigs. I took and wrapped a jighead just the same way you do a kwikfish, but with a fillet of shad and tipped it off with a chartreuse scampie tail. It was unreal. I acually had my sauce up there and it did not do a thing on chinook in saltwater but the LINGS AND HALIBUT would not stay off of it.
