How did you get on for them?.

The halibut fishing in the far north of Alaska comes with different bycatch, the bycatch is a problem.
Cod are the biggest problem.
You can end up having to deadbait a 4lb cod just to keep the other cod off your halibut bait. Even then you still get super sized cod which is a pain.
If you put a lure down you are unlikely to get past the bycatch to get a halibut..... its a unique and interesting problem.
