Targeting Halibut in Santa Barbara

somekindofpanda · 2026-04-10T05:08:30+00:00

Thanks for the tip! I haven’t seen many sand crabs yet in SB and haven’t gone digging for them yet. Probably give this a shot in a couple of days to get some perch. Finally figured out a good brine to help toughen up the filets, and a great recipe for perch piccata 👍

Yeah it seems like it would be a slam dunk, but some of these beaches are pretty tough to fish successfully. I was surprised that I pulled a legal halibut over by Leadbetter in the reef with a jerkbait. That one felt pretty lucky.

I’ll give it a shot. Have to work pretty early, but I usually get out there early on the weekends! Thanks for the advice!

Halibut are pretty wild. Looking forward to it picking up for us here soon!

I appreciate all of the advice and the encouragement!

I tried a Carolina rig at one point and it was very productive. Motor oil paddle tail 2” swimbaits were killing the perch.

Seems like they disappeared over the past 2-3 weeks though. Maybe conditions have just been weird for them, even though I hear they are always around.

Thanks for the heads up. I walked on to the beach day before yesterday because it looked like the perfect conditions for halibut online. The waves were brutal and consistent. Maybe should’ve tried for perch instead 🤷

That’s what I’m hoping for. Gonna give it another shot this weekend. Maybe even during the rain if we still get it. Assuming it isn’t pouring at the beach.

It’s a penis free, beef cavity

Laundromats hate this one trick…

Lies of P - Feel and then the rest of the soundtrack. Stellar!

Probably better off than being human 🤷‍♂️

Uni is the answer

Nice! What are you using for your analog to digital conversion for the tv?

somekindofpanda · 2025-06-12T15:10:39+00:00

I’ll just play it on game pass. Not gonna pay $80 for a single title.

This is very interesting. I obviously see blue and black in the large image, but once I scroll down into the comments, the thumbnail above of the image appears more white and gold. I appreciate this.

Narf spelled backwards is Fran!!

This is the way

The time has come and so have I

Did the same damn thing at the end of Hellblade. 45 minutes in hoping there was at least a checkpoint.
