Default Kitimat Hali Help

Hey guys,
I've asked the question a few years ago and got some help but after 5 years of going up to Kitimat on our own my buddies and I have yet to put our hands on a Halibut. We've usually done well on the Coho but can't seem to figure out the Hali's. Ling Cod have eluded us as well...

Any suggestions or advice would be hugely appreciated (depth, preferred bait, techniques, locations, anything!). We're heading out there the second week of August again. PM's welcome!

Cheers.

Either. I've tried both. I think we have 200 feet of anchor rope. What do you suggest?

Gotta get way out. 6 or 8 inch jigs in blue and white. Pound the bottom on flood tide. If you cant ancor drift jig motor back around and repeat. Can even throw some sent on the jig also.
Always worked for me lol. Im positive thers guys on here that know alot more then i do on the area.

Try north west end of princes royal island or out front of bishops bay there’s some good humps to fish there. You might need some more anchor rope it’s been lots of years since I’ve fished there. I did good at fish trap during slack tide and it’s good for crabs on the north end there.
