baby octopus

[rasbo]

anyone ever use it for halibut? Ihear it really sticks to the hook and almost impossible to strip

[PolarBear]

We use to use squid but ha vent tried octopus.  It should work. 

[KNOPHISH]

Yes, it's one of their favorite foods. Doesn't have to be baby puss, a tentacle off a larger one works also. You can leave it down after a nibble cuz you know it will still be on your hook.

Rasbo ,

its a good bait i like to add scent to all my bait whether it is purchased gel herring formula, or my favorite is to just buy a couple jars of smoked oysters and thing of sardines and soak my bait in its juices for 24 hours, i also like putting the octopus in a ziplock adding the juice or gell and freezing it.   Its very sturdy only time i lose it is when the dogfish are chowing down.

its great bait its just like using squid, you wont have to worry about checkn it on a bumb, especially if you double hook it, leave the bottom hook as a trailor like you would a cut plug, its expensive if you gotta buy it though

[Hornseeker]

Wherever Octopus live... it is good bait... all them fish LOVE it....

[rasbo]

thanks guys,if you ae dropping down to real deep depths its good to know the bait is hanging on...

[jackmaster]

YA GOT THAT RIGHT, aint nothin worse than wondering if your fishn a bare ass hook 

[YoterHunter]

horse herring and octopus.is my faverate halibut getter.

[robodad]

It doesnt cling on the hook as well anymore because of the barbless rule, I even lost a piece of white halibut skin to the dogfish and that stuff aint easy to get on the hook let alone off.

Rasbo who are you goin with out of lapush. are you goin to the "center of the C" or the south west corner either way you should get a 24-28 oz norway jig that is all you will need the jig kinda looks like a chrome banana and has a large trebble hook with a red piece of plastic on the shaft.  I have fished out there 9 years straight and unless you are on the "Rock Pile" you will not need anything else Good Luck Pm me if you need cordinates
