Hi Rob,<BR>Sorry for the late reply, I've been away from the computer a few days. I couldn't see that halibut, however the water was fairly clear. I really need to purchase a pair of polarized sunglasses...<P>I tried the same area again on Friday afternoon, but the conditions were much worse. I only landed one short, had a few other hits, and my buddy hooked and lost a nice fish before we could see it.<P>I think the key to that area from shore is fishing near high tide. Otherwise you can lose many lures to submerged rocks (which I can't cast out to during high tide).<P>See ya,<BR>Mike
