To Catch a Halibut, or Ling Cod

When it comes to delicacies for halibut, or ling cod, one of their favourite niblets is the oily belly skin of a salmon. The best way to get this bait is to catch them and darn it all, that means we've got to go catch a salmon or two! I hear you, it's a tough gig, but the fresher the belly meat the better the results. So we head out, drop down a flasher with a hootchie trailing and nail a few salmon (Coho, Chinooks, Pink, it really doesn't matter). Fillet them up keeping the prized belly meat for a trip to ground fish heaven. Now with fresh salmon fillets in the freezer and a bag full of belly meat at our side we're set for some great halibut fishing.

The Bait of Choice

With the exception of Lake Whitefish, all the fish I pursue through the ice are most successfully caught using bait. The bait varies widely, but the saying, “nothing beats the real thing,” applies. My fridge and freezer will demonstrate my belief in this theory. In my fridge right next to the jug of juice you can find dew worms, trout worms and maggots stockpiled for future trips. In the freezer there are at least three different sizes of minnows ranging from wee little ones for perch to full sized extra large herring for pike and lakers.
