Halibut on the fly… in the surf

[Joshmo62]

Hit up blacks this morning throwing out the fly in the surf… not great conditions with very choppy surf at close tidal intervals so there was a lot of sand messing up the clarity of the water. It was also an outgoing tide which is not my favorite but it was the only time and date I could go this week. Caught a smallish corbina first ( first one of the season for me) and then lost a larger one I hooked in the chaotic surf which was a major bummer… But not long after I hooked into something large that I thought was another guitar fish but as it got closer I was stoked to see a 26 inch halibut! I missed another few bites and hooked a yellow fin croaker which was the last fish I caught. Pretty fun day at the beach ! I was fishing with red crabby patty flies (tied at a brewery earlier in the week at a fly tying meetup) which are suppose to only catch perch but evidently catch everything.

Congrats! What a great mixed bag. Red krabbypatty is my go-to surf fly.
