HALIBUT CAUGHT IN BAJA SHORE FISHING AT ENSENADA

July 30, 2004, Don Fagan, Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico Shore Fishing:

My buddy Jaime Mattson nailed a 12 lb flattie off the beach Wed morning on a 1oz Kroc! Next week we're heading to SQ. He got the Halibut throwing a Kroc at holes during a minus tide walking down the beach from the restaurant Cueva de los Tigres- Tigers' Cave- toward the Ensenada military base. He fishes about daybreak when that coincides with a low or minus tide and gets about 100 halibut or so every year. Not an exaggeration! We went out at day break this morning, and right where the north fence of the Ensenada military base is. Jaime hooked 5 halibut and a perch. The guy fishes every day, always with light tackle and generally does real well.
